Chelsea v Everton EFL Cup Betting Tips

Chelsea had to fight back against Watford on the weekend at the Bridge to avoid losing three straight Premier League games this season. Late goals lifted the Blues past the Hornet’s but really Watford wasted some great chances to put the game to bed themselves. Still, a fightback win is always good for confidence and Chelsea needed that as that’s their only win in their last four in all competitions. Chelsea’s back line has been vulnerable but both teams NOT to score at William Hill looks some value at 19/20. That’s because the Blues have won their last three games against Everton without conceding and have taken four clean sheets in their last five games against the Toffees at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea took a 2-0 home win over Everton in the Premier League back in August. A Chelsea 2-0 correct score is a 6/1 punt at William Hill, with the 1-0 victory for them at the same price. You will have the coverage of a Chelsea to win to nil at 7/5 with William Hill.

Michy Batshuayi, who still doesn’t look a high-quality player, is in the goal scoring groove at the moment and he is 8/11 in the anytime goalscorer market. Everton are on a six match winless streak away from home in all competitions at the moment and they have lost three of their last four as well without scoring. They have netted one goal in their last four away fixtures. So Ronald Koeman couldn’t hang on to his job any longer and after losing 5-2 against Arsenal on the weekend at Goodison Park was pushed out of the door. Wayne Rooney is their shortest priced William Hill anytime goalscorer option at 3/1 for this one. The Toffees have conceded at least two goals now in each of their last three games against the Blues and have looked ropey at the back all season. They took a 3-0 home win over Sunderland in the last round of the EFL Cup and that is just one of two wins in their last thirteen games across all competitions now (D4 L7). They desperately need shaking up and they have taken just the one clean sheet in their last thirteen games.
