Chelsea vs Everton Preview & Prediction
Chelsea has seemed to settle on their early season form, and despite winning their last encounter against Leeds, their previous month of football hasn’t been convincing.
Two penalties saved embarrassment against their fierce rivals on a fiery affair. This isn’t the time for Thomas Tuchel’s men to drop points in a heavily congested fixture.
They must get the three points in matches like these to stay close to Manchester City and Liverpool in what looks like a title race that could go right down to the wire. Although the odds are good in this match, with their last home loss against Everton coming in 2011.
Tuchel has been careful with bringing Romelu Lukaku back from his injury, so it may be the time he brings him back into the starting Premier League line-up. The Belgium striker hasn’t found the back of the net since September.
Meanwhile, Rafa Benitez’s short tenure in the blue side of Merseyside looks like it could be coming to end after the fans turned on him in his side’s loss to Crystal Palace last time out.
The loss at Selhurst Park was their seventh loss in nine matches, leaving them in 14th. They have struggled to maintain possession when playing away from home against any opposition, which has led to one away win this season. You can expect them to play on the counterattack.
However, they will be missing a crucial element of their attacking threat, with Richarlison suffering a serious calf injury ruling him out for several weeks.
It will be hard to see him getting a supportive welcome from either set of supporters as he returns to his old stomping ground on Friday morning. If the Toffees are embarrassed against the Blues, it could be the final nail in the coffin.
Verdict:
All signs are pointing to a Chelsea win to keep them in touching distance of the league leaders, and I believe that is exactly what will happen on Friday morning.
The BTTS market has failed to hit in the last 10 matches between these two sides. (Best Both Teams To Score (No) odds: $1.58 with TAB).
