Everton News and Form – Everton’s season sinks lower?

Everton needed a cohesive, competitive night at Anfield on Wednesday against Liverpool. It didn’t happen, however, as they were undone time and time again by simple long balls to the heart of their defence. Everton lost 5-2 at their rivals, their third straight league defeat, conceding at least two goals in each of those losses as well. Will they be able to bring any cheer to their fans at Goodison on the weekend when they host Chelsea?

Betfair

Everton lost their last home game, a 2-0 reverse against Norwich. That left Everton with a W3 D1 L3 record on home soil in the top flight this season. Everton have only come up with 8 goals in their 7 home games, with only two of their fixtures there making it above the 2.5 goal line. There has been no clean sheet from Everton in their last half a dozen league outings. 70% of the goals that they have shipped at home have been in the second half of fixtures.

Everton vs Chelsea Head to Head

Everton took four points against Chelsea last season

Both teams have scored in none of the last six league meetings
Chelsea are winless in three league games against the Toffees

 

Key-Facts – Everton vs Chelsea

  • The Toffees are on a three match losing streak
  • Chelsea average 2 goals per away game
  • Everton lost their last home game against Norwich

 

Chelsea News and Form – Can the Blues triumph at Goodison Park?

It was a 2-1 home win in midweek that Chelsea collected over Aston Villa. The Blues were a lot more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. It was a welcome three points as Chelsea had lost their previous two games against Man City and then West Ham, both by a one-goal margin. Away from home Chelsea have collected a W5 L2 record this season and they have been trucking along very well in front of goal. Chelsea average 2 goals per road fixture this season and all of their away games have gone over 2.5 goals.

There has been no away clean sheet for Chelsea this season, and they have conceded at an average of 2 goals per away game. So it’s well worth considering both teams getting on the scoresheet. Chelsea have opened the scoring in 12 of 15 league games played this season, and in all but one of their road games. You wonder what will happen to Everton’s confidence if the Blues strike first. Chelsea were on a five-match winning streak on their travels, before losing the lead at Man City and suffering a loss in their last road game.

Everton vs Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea to win: In no way shape or form can the defence of Chelsea be trusted at all, but Everton are a fragile bunch and it may not take much for them to crumble once more. Chelsea have the pace in attack and directness to hurt Everton. Away win.
