Chelsea v Everton

Chelsea vs Everton Preview

After several false starts and inconsistent displays, Chelsea finally seem to be getting back on track under manager Mauricio Pochettino as The Blues extended their unbeaten run to seven games in the Premier League last weekend with a 2-2 draw away from home at Sheffield United, while Everton not only halted a previously worrying 13-game winless run with a 1-0 home win against Burnley but this result also helped ease The Toffees' relegation worries as well.

Chelsea have now moved up into the top half of the Premier League table thanks to picking up points in draws with Manchester City, Brentford, Burnley and Sheffield United but also collecting important wins against Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Manchester United, the latter two victories being on home soil at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, Chelsea have slipped to just the single defeat in their last nine home games overall in the Premier League as the Pochettino influence is starting to take effect and includes the London club picking up six wins within this period as well.

In addition, Chelsea are starting to score goals on a more regular basis as The Blues have notched two goals or more in eight of their last nine home games and this could spell trouble for the merseyside visitors on Monday night.

Everton finally put an end to their 13-game drought in the Premier League when Sean Dyche's side recorded what could prove to be a vital 1-0 home win against Burnley last weekend which maintained Everton's position of 16th place in the English top flight table and given the visitors a two-point buffer between themselves and the bottom three clubs ahead of this weekend's action.

Everton had previously picked up points in six draws but had also slipped to seven defeats as well in their previously barren 13-game spell but nevertheless, the visitors have still kept their heads above water and this will give Sean Dyche's side hope and belief that they can go to the nation's capital on Monday night and perhaps walk away with a point.

However, just one win from their last 14 games overall along with failing to win any of their last eight outings on the road which includes five defeats on the road at the hands of Tottenham, Wolves, Manchester City, Manchester United and Bournemouth along with failing to score in four of these eight away games as well, does not bode well for this upcoming trip to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea v Everton Verdict
