Chelsea vs Everton. Shape of the Teams

Chelsea will host Everton on the 15th of April at Stamford Bridge, with both teams experiencing turbulent seasons in the Premier League.

The Blues just suffered another setback against Sheffield United when they conceded the equalizer in the dying minutes of the game (2-2). Mauricio Pochettino has been struggling to find the ideal XI on the field amid rumours of his impending departure.

Everton, on the other hand, has had a lacklustre season so far. After a deduction of eight points, they are battling to avoid relegation, making every match a must-win scenario.

Injuries have also plagued both squads – adding to their struggles. Chelsea will be without defenders Levi Colwill and Reece James, while midfielders Romeo Lavia and Leslie Ugochukwu are also sidelined. For Everton, midfielder Dele Alli and striker Lewis Dobbin are sidelined due to injuries.

According to the xG rating (expected goals per match), Chelsea averages 1.99 expected goals per match, whereas Everton’s figure stands at 1.49. Statistics show that both teams regularly create scoring opportunities in front of their opponent’s goal, potentially leading to an open and attacking game.

Pick: Chelsea to Win
Odds: -143 (Tonybet)

Both teams will enter this match with motivations tied to their respective positions in the league standings. Chelsea is still in the race for a spot in European competitions while the guests try to avoid relegation to the Championship.

However, Chelsea has a clear advantage as they are playing at home. Everton has lost 63% of its last eight away matches in the Premier League, while Chelsea has four wins in their previous five home games.

Additionally, the Toffees have lost all their away games against the Premier League giants this season—Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Manchester United.

At the same time, Chelsea often has problems in matches against teams from the bottom half of the table, which is why Pochettino’s team cannot establish itself in the top seven.

However, the Blues have not lost hope of a top-six finish, and Everton is not the kind of team that can challenge Chelsea’s defence, which is exactly what the Londoners need now. Given these factors, I think Chelsea will secure a decisive victory.

It certainly looks to be an action-packed match at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s approach in recent games has been rather offensive. Each of their last seven matches – following a goalless Cup final against Liverpool – has seen over three goals scored. Even Sheffield United managed to hit twice past the Blues.

During the EPL season, Chelsea scored an average of 1.93 goals per game at home while conceding 1.67. Meanwhile, Everton averages one goal per game on the road and concedes 1.5. Although these figures are a bit lower than Chelsea’s, they tremendously improved compared to the start of the campaign.

Chelsea is currently facing several challenges in their defensive game. Firstly, they lack a good pressing strategy, which is affecting their performance. Secondly, Nathaniel Chalobah and Benoit Badiashil, who play in the center of the defence, have been making frequent mistakes leading to a high number of goals conceded. Another issue is that their goalkeeper, Đorđe Petrović, has also been making errors on the goal line in recent matches.

Thanks to Cole Palmer, who has already scored 16 goals, the Blues have been able to pull through tight games.

I think that Chelsea will put serious pressure on Everton’s defence. However, Chelsea’s own vulnerable defence could equally provide Everton opportunities to exploit through counterattacks. I expect a high-scoring affair with at least three goals with these dynamics in play.
