Everton

WLLWWL

Everton will be hoping for a better result after a 2-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Arsenal.

In that game, Everton had 35% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Arsenal had 25 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Viktor Gyökeres (89') and Max Dowman (97') scored for Arsenal.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Everton have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Everton have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals along the way. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if that trend might be maintained in this upcoming match.

Heading into this fixture, Everton are winless against Chelsea in their last 4 league matches.

Chelsea

LWWLLL 📉

Since a loss in their previous game against Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League action, Chelsea and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Chelsea managed 46% possession and 18 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. Paris Saint-Germain got 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (6'), Bradley Barcola (15') and Senny Mayulu (62') scored for Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea have seen success in front of goal in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 12 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Liam Rosenior will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Chelsea have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same outings.

Coming into this meeting, Chelsea are winless against Everton in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: Everton

In our view, The Toffees could kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system in the match with Jordan Pickford, James Garner, Jake O'Brien, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Tim Iroegbunam, Dwight McNeil, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye and Beto.

ℹ️ Team News: Chelsea

We reckon that The Blues might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Andrey Santos, Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro.

💭 Prediction

We feel that Everton will need things to go their way to breach the defence of this Chelsea outfit who we think might manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Chelsea after 90 minutes.

Let’s see what happens.
