Prediction Analysis

Chelsea come into this match in poor form, having failed to win any of their last four matches and struggling to maintain their momentum following their 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League. Everton, on the other hand, are showing defensive consistency with four clean sheets in their last five, while six of their eight away games have ended with fewer than three goals. Given Chelsea's struggles to find consistency and the fact that they have already been beaten at home by Brighton and Sunderland, this clash could be a lot trickier for the Blues than the Premier League table suggests.
