Chelsea vs Everton Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips
Chelsea and Everton are set to serve up an exciting contest in their English Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge. Everton have been driven by the impressive Dominic Calvert-Lewin and with both teams preferring an expansive style, Sunday’s match is tipped to favour the attackers.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea are coming off a 2-0 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round. Willian opened the scoring early in the first half while Ross Barkley added the second after the break.
The Blues have struggled to hold on to leads lately having been pegged back in 2-2 draws against Arsenal, Leicester and Bournemouth. Defending has been a problem for Frank Lampard’s men throughout the season and they head into Sunday’s match with just two clean sheets in their last 15 Premier League matches.
Chelsea News
Uncertainty continues to surround the fitness of striker Tammy Abraham who has missed the last two matches. He is unlikely to feature on Sunday while Callum Hudson-Odoi, Christian Pulisic and N’Golo Kante are all ruled out with injury. Midfielder Jorginho misses out through suspension.
Everton Form
Everton played out a 1-1 draw against Man United in their previous Premier League fixture. They took the lead through Dominic Calvert-Lewin but an error from Jordan Pickford allowed United back into the contest.
Like Chelsea, The Toffees have also struggled defensively and have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine Premier League matches. They often attempt to balance things out in attack, particularly with Dominic Calvert-Lewin who has scored 13 Premier League goals this season.
Everton News
Right back Seamus Coleman limped off last time out against Man United and is set to miss the trip to Stamford Bridge. He joins Jean-Philippe Gbamin who is already a long-term injury absentee.
Chelsea vs Everton Head to Head
Chelsea have a 65-54 advantage with 52 draws from 171 previous matches against Everton. The Toffees claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture at Goodison Park. Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were on target for Everton while Mateo Kovacic got the consolation for Chelsea.

Chelsea vs Everton Match Up
Chelsea have spread the goals across the team lately with Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley and Willian all on target in recent matches. Marcos Alonso has been the star of the show for the Blues with three goals from left back in his last two Premier League matches.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be the one to watch for Everton having scored eight goals in his last 10 matches. He also scored a brace in the reverse fixture and has a good understanding with Richarlison who has found the net four times in his last six appearances.
