THE LOWDOWN
EVERTON
- Everton kept Liverpool out for 62 minutes at Anfield last Sunday, but their Merseyside rivals were simply too strong and ultimately broke through, winning 2-0 and dropping the Toffees into the bottom three due to Burnley’s win on the same day.
- Ben Godfrey will miss out again due to injury but Frank Lampard does have Yerry Mina and Dominic Calvert-Lewin available again for this encounter.
CHELSEA
- Frustration was the buzzword for Chelsea in midweek, who missed numerous chances and were therefore forced to settle for a 1-1 draw away to Man Utd, conceding just two minutes after taking the lead.
- Thomas Tuchel has plenty of options to freshen up his starting XI if needs must, with the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku all pushing for starts, the latter of course going up against his old club where he was so successful in front of goal.
THE TEAM NEWS
EVERTON
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Coleman, Mina, Keane, Mykolenko; Doucoure, Allan, Iwobi; Gray, Richarlison, Gordon
UNAVAILABLE: Godfrey (Injured), Patterson (Injured), Townsend (Injured), Gomes (Injured), Van de Beek (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Davies (Fitness)
CHELSEA
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Mendy; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Alonso; Mount, Ziyech; Werner
UNAVAILABLE: Chilwell (Injured), Hudson-Odoi (Injured), Kovacic (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Christensen (Illness), Barkley (Illness)
THE PREDICTION
A lack of potency cost Chelsea in midweek and could well see them struggle again here against a desperate Everton side. If the Toffees are to stay up, their results at Goodison Park will play a big part in their survival and should they defend as well as they did against Liverpool, then Frank Lampard’s side have every reason to believe that at least a point, if not all three isn’t out of the question in this one. Everton have accrued seven points from their last three home fixtures and are well worth backing to gain either a win or draw against Chelsea via the double chance market.
Tip: EVERTON WIN/DRAW DOUBLE CHANCE
