Current form
Everton does not lose hope of competing for a place in European competitions. So, David Moyes' team is only five points behind Chelsea in sixth place, being on the eighth line. Taking into account far from the most serious resources, toffees do not demonstrate stable results throughout the season, but they produce individual successful series, due to which they occupy such a high position for themselves. After two wins in a row in the last round, Everton quite predictably failed to cope with Arsenal on the road - a 0-2 defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grealish and Alcaraz will not play due to injuries. George will miss the match on loan, Tarkovsky is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate line–up: Pickford – Garner, O'Brian, Keen, Mikolenko – Ayrogbunam, Gaye - McNeil, Dewsbury Hall, Ndiaye – Betu.
Current form
Immediately after the appearance of Liam Rosenor on the coaching bridge, Chelsea could see a solid stretch in terms of results, but there was a decent decline in the distance. The Londoners have been defeated in their last three matches. They lost to PSG twice in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League (2:5 and 0:3). In between these meetings, there was a 0-1 home loss to Newcastle in the Premier League. As a result, by the start of round 31, Chelsea is only in sixth place in the Premier League, three points behind the top 4.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colville, James, Chalobah and Jorgensen will miss the game due to injuries. Badyashil and Gittens are in question.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Sanchez – Achimpong, Fofana, Sarr, Cucurella – Santos, Caicedo – Palmer, Fernandez, Neto – Joao Pedro.
Chelsea has a busy schedule, which obviously Londoners can't stand. Three defeats in a row, including at home from Newcastle, clearly demonstrate the decline of the aristocrats. Today is going to be a difficult test in Liverpool, where you have to come up with something in attack in order to break through a well-organized enemy defense. Yes, in the last lost match against Arsenal, David Moyes' team held on for the first time, they did not miss. We don't think Chelsea are ready to score three points away at the moment.
Our betting tip is that Everton will not lose by a factor of 1.75
Bet on the total
In the previous two matches, Chelsea did not score a single goal, there were problems in attack, the tight schedule of games is clearly affecting. Everton habitually relies on reliable defense and is unlikely to even risk playing open football at home today. We don't expect more than two goals scored in a match.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.00
Betting on corners
Chelsea have impressive statistics on corners: in eight consecutive matches, the Londoners have won by this indicator. Given the manner of the upcoming opponent's game, we do not think that this series will be interrupted today.
Prediction – Chelsea win on corners with a coefficient of 1.60
Bet Everton will score in the first half
In the last five matches, Chelsea have conceded before the break.
1st halfbet: total less than 1.5 goals
In three of the last five face-to-face matches, such a bet was successful.
The bet is an exact score of 1:1
In three of Everton's last six home matches, there has been a draw in regular time.
The match between Everton and Chelsea will take place at the Hill Dixon Stadium in the English championship tournament. The teams are approaching the meeting with the same results in the last five games, but the home team will strive to break this series of failures.
