Chelsea to keep a clean sheet

The last three Premier League matches taking place at Stamford Bridge have seen Chelsea’s opponents fail to score. It’s the longest such run since April-May 2024.

Marc Cucurella anytime goalscorer

No player for Chelsea has scored more at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this year than Marc Cucurella who has netted three goals across his previous five outings.

How both teams go into Chelsea vs Everton

There was a moment in December when Chelsea, who came into this season with a new manager, were on the cusp of becoming title challengers. A five-game winning streak, part of an eight-game unbeaten run (six wins and two draws), left them in second place, three points behind leaders Liverpool after 16 matches. However, their form soon deteriorated with a five-game winless run (three draws and two losses). They then won five of their next ten outings (four losses and one draw), putting them in sixth place but within touching distance of the 2025/26 Champions League group stage, with fifth place enough for qualification.

Things could not be any different for Everton, who began their campaign with four consecutive losses and won only two of their opening 13 matches (six losses and five draws). Sean Dyche would soon be on the hot seat, with the Toffees struggling in front of goal, and was dismissed after 20 games in charge with Everton lying second from bottom but two points above safety. David Moyes returned, and under him, Everton have accumulated 20 points from 12 matches (two more than Dyche managed) while registering the same amount of goals in eight fewer games. Only Liverpool, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Manchester City have performed better, with only Liverpool and Arsenal losing fewer games than Everton’s two (one each).
