Chelsea host Everton in Saturday evening’s Premier League

Seeking to continue their recent revival with a fourth win on the bounce in all tournaments, Chelsea host Everton in Saturday evening’s Premier League offering at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues ran out 3-1 winners versus Leicester City last weekend, while Sean Dyche’s own team in blue put Brentford to the sword 1-0.

Key battle: Kai Havertz has netted in Chelsea’s last two games and is now his team’s top scorer across all competitions (G:8).

Trying to stop him here will be Everton keeper Jordan Pickford, who boasts a joint-high five career clean sheets against the Blues.

Hot stat: Including his three as Everton manager, 40% of Dyche’s PL victories (30) have been by a 1-0 scoreline.

Chelsea vs Everton – Chelsea win FT

A spate of 1-0 wins at Goodison has done little to remedy Everton’s dismal record on the road, and Dyche’s side could very well be plunged back into the relegation places by the close of play this weekend.

With Potter’s abundance of talent now showcasing said talent domestically and continentally, the reinvigorated Blues can potentially leave the anonymity of 10th place behind with a straightforward success in the capital.
