Chelsea vs Everton: Confirmed Team News, Predicted Lineups, and Injury Updates
Chelsea Aim to Extend Unbeaten Run
Chelsea will be aiming to continue their unbeaten run when they host Everton in the Premier League on Saturday. The Blues have won their last two league games and are now just one point behind Manchester United in fourth place. A win against Everton would see Chelsea move into the top four and put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur, who are third.
Everton Seeking First Win at Stamford Bridge
Everton, meanwhile, have had a disappointing start to the season and are currently 19th in the table. The Toffees have only won one of their last five league games and are in desperate need of a victory. A win at Stamford Bridge would be a major boost for Everton and would give them hope of climbing out of the relegation zone.
Predicted Lineups
Chelsea: Kepa; James, Fofana, Badiashile; Chilwell, Fernandez, Kovacic; Felix, Havertz, Mount
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Coady, Mykolenko; Onana, Gueye, Iwobi; McNeil, Gray, Maupay
Injury Updates
Chelsea: Mendy (ankle), Kante (thigh), Gallagher (knock), Broja (knee)
Everton: Keane (knock), Godfrey (thigh), Calvert-Lewin (knee), Rondon (hamstring)
Key Players to Watch
Chelsea: Joao Felix - The Portuguese forward has been in impressive form since joining Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid in January. He has scored three goals in his last three league games and will be looking to add to his tally against Everton.
Everton: Anthony Gordon - The young winger has been one of Everton's few bright spots this season. He has scored four goals in his last seven league games and will be looking to continue his good form against Chelsea.
Prediction
Chelsea are the favorites to win this match, but Everton have a good record at Stamford Bridge. The Blues will need to be at their best to beat Everton, but they should have enough quality to get the job done.
