Chelsea vs Everton: Preview and Prediction

Sunday 11th November 2018

England Premier League
Sunday 11th November 2018
Kick off at 2:15pm GMT
Venue: Stamford Bridge

Match Preview:

Maurizio Sarri keeps playing down Chelsea’s chances of winning the league, but one glance at the league sees the Blues in 2^nd place, two points behind Manchester City and unbeaten this season. They come into this game having won 3 of their last 4 matches.

At Stamford Bridge they have played 6 games, won 4 and drawn 2, but those two draws were against Liverpool and Manchester United. Chelsea beat BATE in the Europa League in midweek and have qualified for the last 32 of the competition.

Everton are in the best form of their season and come into this game in 9^th place having won 4 of their last five games. Their only loss in that time came against Manchester United away from home. The team have been positive and have scored 19 goals, the 6^th best in the league.

Although just 30% of their oveall points have come away from home. Their only away win this season has come at Leicester and that is something that will need to be improved if Marco Silva has ambitions of a European place this season.

Team News:

Chelsea: Cesc Fabregas is a doubt as he missed the game against BATE in the Europa League with a fever. Other than that Chelsea have no major injury worries

Everton: Phil Jagielka could return after missing Everton’s win over Brighton with a knock. Kurt Zouma can not play against his parent club.

Chelsea vs Everton Head to Head:

Last season Chelsea won this fixture 2-1.

In the Premier League Everton have no wins at Stamford Bridge this century.

Based on recent meetings there is a 60% chance to see over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea vs Everton Prediction:

We will see an entertaining game because both sides like to attack. Everton have the advantage as they could rest with no games and no travel in midweek. But we have to respect that Everton has a poor record at this stadium and that Chelsea could go the season unbeaten here. They have shown hardly any weaknesses. Everton will play their part in the game and will make this tough on Chelsea, but Chelsea and Everton’s priorities in the league at this time are quite different.
