Preview

Chelsea arrive in solid, if not spectacular, form and have turned Stamford Bridge into a reliable source of points again this season. A record of seven wins, four draws and four defeats, with a goal difference of +10, underlines their attacking threat and a gradually improving defensive structure under their current management.

They will also take confidence from a recent run of dominant home results against Everton, including a 1–0 win in April 2025 and a 6–0 thrashing in April 2024.​

Everton, meanwhile, have evolved from a relegation battler into a compact, competitive side capable of troubling anyone on their day.

Sitting on 24 points from seven wins, three draws and five defeats, the Toffees have kept themselves within touching distance of the top six thanks to a resilient back line and a knack for grinding out tight results.

Their recent head‑to‑head record shows they can frustrate Chelsea, with goalless draws in December 2024 and March 2026, and narrow wins earlier in the decade at Goodison Park.

Chelsea’s key attacking threats include forward Pedro Neto and João Pedro, who have combined goals and movement to stretch defences, while Enzo Fernández and Estevao contribute both goals and creativity from midfield.

At home, Chelsea are likely to dominate possession, pushing full‑backs high and trying to pin Everton deep for long spells.​ Moises Caicedo and Mykhaylo Mudryk will miss the match due to suspensions.

On the other hand, Everton’s danger largely comes from a balanced spread of contributors rather than one star name, with several players chipping in with goals and assists from midfield and attack.

Centre‑back Michael Keane provides a threat at set pieces and stability at the back, while the midfield pairing, including James Garner, offers energy and delivery from deeper areas.

Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be other key players for Everton. Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman and Merlin Rohl are ruled out of the fixture.
