How both teams go into Everton vs Chelsea
Chelsea are being mentioned as Premier League title challengers, but the Blues are keeping their feet grounded. They currently sit second in the Premier League, four points behind leaders Liverpool. But Chelsea have played a game more. Chelsea’s start to the season has been thanks in part to their away form. The Blues have won six of their eight league games on the road this season, only failing at Anfield and Old Trafford. Last time out they came from 2-0 down to win 3-4 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Everton had to sit and watch as the Premier League action continued on gameweek 15, with their game against Liverpool postponed. But it was a good weekend for them. The Toffees weren’t really caught by any of the teams below them, with the bottom three all losing. Even Leicester City and Crystal Palace could only gain a point. Of course, their game in hand is a tough one, so Everton will want guaranteed points on the board. The Toffees are unbeaten in their past five home league games, drawing three.
