TEAMS PREVIEW

Chelsea FC Preview

Chelsea will recall their last clash with Everton at Stamford Bridge fondly—a 6-0 rout led by a Cole Palmer masterclass with four goals. With Palmer looking to reignite his spark, the Blues would relish a repeat performance this time around.

However, of late, goals have been hard to come by for Chelsea. Aside from big wins over Ipswich and Southampton, the Blues have scored more than once in just two of their last ten matches. With Everton’s disciplined backline, breaking through won’t be easy—making Chelsea’s task even tougher as they chase a crucial win.

Key Stats 

1. Chelsea had won five successive home league fixtures before being held to a 2-2 draw by Ipswich last time.
2. Stamford Bridge has been a fortress for Chelsea, with just two home defeats all season. They're fourth in the league for most points earned at home.
3. Cole Palmer is Chelsea's top scorer in the Premier League for the 2024–25 season, netting 14 goals.But, he hasn't scored since the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth back in January. 

Team News 

Chelsea will welcome a boost on Saturday with Romeo Lavia and Reece James back in the fold. However, Malo Gusto remains a doubt with a muscle issue, casting a shadow over an otherwise positive update.

Chelsea Probable XI - Sanchez (GK); James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Everton FC Preview

Unlike Chelsea, Everton suffered a bitter blow against the reigning champions, conceding twice late on in a game that seemed destined for a hard-fought draw. That late defeat dealt a harsh blow to Everton’s top-half hopes, leaving them now 6 points adrift of 12th-placed Crystal Palace and further from a top ten finish with just five games to go. Despite the City setback, Everton heads into the Chelsea clash with confidence, having suffered just two losses since January—one of them to Liverpool.

Key Stats 

1. Everton has managed to win only once in their last eight ( 6D, 2L) PL games.
2. It’s been seven games since Everton last scored twice in a match, and in their last four league outings, they've managed just a single goal from open play—leaving their attack in need of a spark.
3. Iliman Ndiaye is Everton's top scorer in the Premier League 2024/25 season, having netted 7 goals. 

Team News 

Everton will be without Armando Broja, ineligible to face parent club Chelsea, while James Tarkowski is ruled out and Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains a major doubt—adding to their selection woes.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Keane, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto

CHELSEA FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

It's a crucial clash for Chelsea, and they'll be eyeing all three points. The Blues have every reason to be confident too—they’re unbeaten in their last 29 league games at Stamford Bridge versus Everton and have only lost twice at home in the past year. Everton will know they’re heading into a fortress. Given Chelsea's home dominance and Everton's knack for grinding out draws, this one has all the makings of a tightly contested stalemate. We're backing a draw. 

We predict a Draw (1-1)
