Chelsea

LLLWWW 📈

Chelsea, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-3 Premier League victory versus Leicester City.

In that game, Chelsea managed 51% possession and 12 shots at goal with 6 on target. For Chelsea, the goalscorers were Ben Chilwell (11'), Kai Havertz (45') and Mateo Kovačić (78'). On the other side, Leicester City had 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Patson Daka (39') was the scorer for Leicester City.

An interesting trait of recent Chelsea games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

From their previous 6 matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would've lost. Putting that to one side, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might be sustained in this next match or not.

Everton

LWLLDW

Everton will go into the match following a 1-0 Premier League win to beat Brentford in their most recent outing.

In that match, Everton had 33% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Everton was Dwight McNeil (1'). Brentford got 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.

It has become apparent that Everton have suffered from a lack of goals in their past six games, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, The Toffees have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 10.

Their previous form shows that Everton:

• are winless against Chelsea in games played away from home for the previous 27 matches in the league. Imagine their relief when they finally get an away win.
• are without an away win for the past 9 matches in the league. What a terrible run of away results.

👥 Head to head

A look at their past head to head clashes stretching back to 08/03/2020 tells us that Chelsea have won 3 of them and Everton 2, with the number of drawn games being 1.

📰 Team News: Chelsea

Edouard Mendy (Shoulder Injury), Raheem Sterling (Hamstring Injury), Mason Mount (bruised pelvis), Thiago Silva (Ligament Injury) and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not be taking part for Chelsea manager Graham Potter.

In our view, The Blues may well go for a 3-4-2-1 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, Joao Felix, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Kai Havertz.

🗞️ Team News: Everton

Everton manager Sean Dyche has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Andros Townsend (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Andy Lonergan (Knee Problems) won’t be making appearances.

We reckon that The Toffees seem most likely to make use of a 4-5-1 system by sending out Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Ben Godfrey, Alex Iwobi, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil and Demarai Gray.
