Everton vs Chelsea: Preview and Predictions

Everton vs Chelsea
English Premier League
Date: Sunday, 30th April 2017
Kick off at 14:05 UK / 15:04 CET
Venue: Goodison Park, Liverpool.

Everton will take on Chelsea in what will be a vital Premier League clash on Sunday that could go a long way to determining the title winners.

Everton have really found form since the turn of the New Year and this has meant that they will qualify for a Europa League position. They haven’t lost for 4 games- their last defeat coming against Liverpool.

The Toffee men have found a good system under Ronald Koeman and have become hard to beat. At home, they have won their last 5 games in a row and have only lost 1 match all season; indeed, they have the 3rd best home record in the league.

Chelsea are aiming to become champions again and under Antonio Conte have been excellent this season. However, a few hiccups have meant that they have a rival in Tottenham who are just 4 points shy of the Blues. Every point counts and Chelsea will be playing to attack. Many pundits see this match as a potential banana skin for Conte’s men.

The good news for Chelsea is that they have the best away record in league where from 17 games they have won 11 drew 3 and lost 3. However, they did lose their last away match against Manchester United which ended 2-0.

Everton vs Chelsea: Head to Head Stats

Everton have won 3 of the last 4 matches played at home, however Chelsea’s one win did end 6-3 to them. Earlier this season Chelsea hammered Everton 5-0 in London. In the last 6 fixtures, there have been 27 goals, averaging out at 4 goals a game. Chelsea have won 8 of the 18 fixtures at Everton since 2000.

Everton vs Chelsea: Prediction

This fixture means goals and Chelsea will need at least two of them if they are going to win this match. Everton have been solid at home this season and will relish the chance to blow the league title wide open. Also look out for in form Romelu Lukaku, who would love to score against his former team.
