Chelsea vs Everton Prediction and Analysis: Narrow Escape from Consequences

Latest Chelsea vs Everton team news

Chelsea are concerned that right-back Malo Gusto could be out for the rest of the season after suffering a muscle injury in last week's match against Fulham. He could join Wesley Fofana on the injury list.

Maresca is expected to field its strongest team despite the upcoming Conference League semi-final. However, young player George – who stood out against Fulham – may be given a chance to start in the Premier League.

Cole Palmer has gone 16 games without scoring, but last season he scored four goals against Everton – a feat unprecedented for any player since the start of the 21st century. Therefore, he could still be a preferred choice in the starting lineup.

Everton will almost certainly be without their key centre-back James Tarkowski for the remainder of the season following a hamstring injury sustained against Man City.

Michael Keane was brought on as a substitute but had a disappointing second half, drawing heavy criticism. This could force manager Moyes to make changes to the defense, with Jake O'Brien likely to play centre-back and one of three players – Nathan Patterson, Ashley Young, or Seamus Coleman – at right-back.

Armando Broja didn't make much of an impression against Man City and will be unavailable for this match due to playing against his club, Chelsea. Therefore, Beto will lead the attack as Dominic Calvert-Lewin is still recovering from injury.

Latest predicted lineups for Chelsea vs Everton

Chelsea:
Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo, Caicedo; George, Palmer, Neto; Jackson

Everton:
Pickford; Patterson, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto

Latest Chelsea vs Everton football match prediction

After being criticized by Chelsea fans during the West London derby against Fulham, manager Maresca was able to breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the brilliance of Tyrique George and Pedro Neto – two players who scored late goals to give the team a 2-1 victory, keeping their Champions League hopes alive.

That victory extended Chelsea's unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches, including two games where they were trailing at half-time but still managed to snatch four points.

Maresca must also be pleased that his friend Pep Guardiola helped Chelsea by leading Man City to a victory over Aston Villa at the Etihad on Tuesday night. Thanks to this, Chelsea remain in sixth place, just two points behind the top five.

However, Chelsea's remaining matches are considered the most difficult among the top four contenders, as they still have to face tough opponents such as Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea will also have to divide their resources between this and their Conference League semi-final against Djurgarden next Thursday, in an attempt to end a four-year trophy drought. However, since winning this competition only guarantees a place in the Europa League, the Premier League remains their top priority.

Good news for fans: Chelsea are about to face a team with a very poor record at Stamford Bridge – Everton. The London club are unbeaten in their last 29 home matches against Everton in the domestic league, since 1994 – the club's longest unbeaten home run against a single opponent.

Last season, Chelsea extended this record with a crushing 6-0 victory over Everton – the heaviest away defeat in 20 years.

However, in one of Sean Dyche's final games as manager, Everton held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw just before Christmas, leaving Maresca's side missing the chance to temporarily move to the top of the table – a prospect that now seems distant.

David Moyes is currently in charge at Everton, and he has helped the team undergo an impressive transformation, quickly dispelling fears of relegation in his final season at Goodison Park.

After a nine-match unbeaten run, Everton have only managed four points in their last four games, but that's understandable given they've faced three teams in the top four.

Last weekend, Man City were the last team to play away at Goodison Park and won 2-0 thanks to late goals from Nico O'Reilly and Mateo Kovacic, putting Everton's nine-match losing streak at home against City on the verge of being broken.

Everton's late victory against Nottingham Forest two weeks ago was their only win in the last eight rounds. However, their defeats have only come against two strong teams, City and Liverpool, and as a result, they have drawn the most matches in the Premier League this season – 14.

Only the bottom three teams have won fewer games than Everton (8), but since Moyes took over, they have earned 21 points – more than the combined total of the bottom three teams (14 points).

With both Man United and Tottenham losing in the previous round, Everton remained 13th before this match, leading the group above the relegation zone but maintaining a safe distance.
