Chelsea will be looking to maintain their incredible run of form when they head to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The Toffees are in 16th place while the Blues are second in the league standings after 16 matches. Check out our match prediction below!
Everton have enjoyed success in this fixture recently, winning five of their last six home league games against this opponent, as many as they managed in their previous 17 against them. Chelsea did win the last match between the sides 6-0 at Stamford Bridge but have not won consecutive Premier League games against the Toffees since 2016-17.
Chelsea trail league leaders Liverpool by two points and could enter Christmas top of the standings if the Reds slip up this weekend. Given these sides’ contrasting records of late, it is unsurprising that bookmakers have installed the visitors as the clear favourites in this contest. To the key stats!

Everton - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Everton recorded their sixth draw of the season last weekend when they fought valiantly to hold Arsenal goalless at the Emirates Stadium.
The Toffees have now had four 0-0 draws in the Premier League so far this season, more than any other side. It is also their most in a single campaign since 2015-16 (also four).
Despite their lowly league position, the hosts have been difficult to defeat at home of late, unbeaten in their last five, while earning nine of their 15-point tally here at Goodison Park.
Everton have failed to score in five of their last six Premier League matches!
Meanwhile, goals have not been an issue for Chelsea this season, as they enter this match off the back of smashing in five against Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League on Thursday night.
That result took the Blues' current win streak to eight across all competitions, five of which were league matches. They have not suffered defeat in the top flight since mid-October against Liverpool.
The visitors have also won each of their last three away league games, scoring two or more goals in each, and have taken 19 points from a possible 24 on the road this term (W6 D1 L1).

Everton & Chelsea Squad Analysis
After being withdrawn in the second half against Wolves, Dwight McNeil was not part of Everton’s squad for the trip to the Emirates but is expected to return this weekend.
Sean Dyche has three players sidelined through injury at present, including long-term absentee Chermiti. Tim Iroegbunam and James Garner are also expected to miss this match but should be available again before the New Year.
Cole Palmer has scored three goals in his last two away games for Chelsea!
Enzo Maresca has several notable absentees for this match, with Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Benoit Badiashile and Omari Kellyman all out for the foreseeable future.
Romeo Lavia missed last weekend’s fixture against Brentford and is a doubt, while Marc Cucurella received a second yellow after the final whistle against the Bees and will have to serve a one-match suspension.
Carney Chukwuemeka has not featured at all for the Blues this season and will not be a part of the travelling squad this week.

Our Everton vs Chelsea Prediction
While Everton have proven a fairly tough team beat lately, they have been struggling turn good performances into wins due to their lack of attacking output, having scored just 14 goals in this season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are scoring for fun of late, now on 37 goals this term, almost three times as many as the Toffees have netted after 16 games. Given their recent form, it’s difficult to back against the Blues in this one. Our Everton vs Chelsea prediction is Chelsea wins.
