Chelsea are in a tough spot right now. They have lost four of their last five games, including two defeats in a row, with a draw mixed in. That is poor form and they are clearly struggling. Everton, on the other hand, have been more mixed but slightly steadier, with a win, two draws, and two losses in their last five. They got a good away win recently, which shows they can fight back.

When these two sides have met in the past, Everton have had a very strong record. In the last six meetings, Chelsea have not won a single match, with Everton picking up five wins and one draw. Many of those games have been low-scoring, like 1-0 or 2-0, but there was one very high-scoring 6-0 defeat for Chelsea. Given Chelsea’s current struggles and Everton’s strong recent history in this fixture, Everton look like the team to win this match.
