Chelsea vs Everton preview
How to predict a team like Chelsea?
On the surface it looks as though Mauricio Pochettino’s side are enjoying a purple patch.
They’ve gone seven matches unbeaten since their Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool, they have a shot at European football and just recorded an enthralling 4-3 victory over Manchester United.
But that’s not the full story.
That great victory over United was sandwiched between two lacklustre 2-2 draws with relegation favourites Burnley and Sheffield United — the former against 10 men.
The Blues are anchored in ninth position on 44 points and six adrift of seventh-placed Manchester United with eight matches of the campaign remaining.
It feels like one step forward and two steps back for Chelsea, who must beat Everton to keep their European qualification hopes alive.
As for the Toffees, they’ll be looking to recover from yet another points deduction which has left them in 16th and two points above the relegation places.
Sean Dyche’s side ended their drought with a slender 1-0 win over Burnley at Goodison Park on Saturday, and will hope to complete a league double over Chelsea (their first since 1978-79) having won 2-0 earlier this season.

Chelsea vs Everton betting tips
Win and goals
Everton simply don’t beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
In fact, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are unbeaten in their last 28 Premier League home matches against Everton (W15 D13) since losing 1-0 in November 1994. It’s Chelsea’s longest unbeaten home record against a side in their top-flight history.
We fancy that run to be extended tonight with Everton having failed to win on the road in any of their last nine games. However, there should still be goals with Chelsea having scored and conceded at least twice in each of their last seven matches.

Booking boost
Conor Gallagher and Amadou Onana are never too far from the referee’s notebook, and William Hill have boosted the pair to be cautioned from 4/1 to 5/1 in tonight’s showdown.
The midfield duo have a combined 13 cautions in all competitions this season, while no Chelsea player comes close to Gallagher’s 64 fouls in 29 top-flight appearances this campaign. Onana has 34 in 1811 minutes – Everton’s third-highest tally.

Ice cold
It’s difficult to look beyond Cole Palmer when searching for a first goalscorer in this contest.
The England star, 21, has scored a whopping 21 goals in all competitions this season, with a further 13 assists to boot. No Chelsea player comes close to his 77 efforts on goal this season, and none can match his 35 on target in 27 league appearances.
He’s also on penalties and there’s been two of those dished out in the last two meetings between Chelsea and Everton at Stamford Bridge, both to the home side.
