Everton

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Manchester City in Premier League competition, Everton will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Everton had 33% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Manchester City had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target. Nico O'Reilly (84') and Mateo Kovačić (92') scored for Manchester City.

Looking at their form, and Everton have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in all. At the back, Everton can certainly do much better. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might be sustained in this next game or not.

Going into this one, Everton haven't beaten Chelsea when they have played them away from home in the previous 29 league matches. An unbelievably poor away record.

🗞️ Team News: Chelsea

Aarón Anselmino (unknown injury), Marc Guiu (Hamstring injury), Omari Kellyman (surgery), David Datro Fofana (Knee injury) and Wesley Fofana (surgery) will be missing for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

It’s our opinion that The Blues look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah, Tosin Adarabioyo, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Nicolas Jackson.

📰 Team News: Everton

Everton boss David Moyes has some current player fitness concerns. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Hamstring injury), Jesper Lindstrøm (Groin surgery) and Orel Mangala (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Toffees could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Jordan Pickford, Jake O'Brien, Jarrad Branthwaite, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko, James Garner, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Jack Harrison, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Iliman Ndiaye and Beto.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that Chelsea will likely score a couple of goals when they play Everton, who will not find it easy scoring.

We’re therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 2-0 victory for Chelsea after 90 minutes.
