My Prediction
Chelsea by 3I must say, talk about a matchup screaming with potential! Chelsea going head to head against Everton on the turf. Mind you, the teams are not equal on paper and let's break down why.
Not much to choose from between the goalkeepers. On Chelsea's end, we have Filip Jørgensen and Robert Sánchez averaging solid ratings of 7.00 and 6.75 respectively while Jordan Pickford stands tall for Everton with his stellar performance putting him at a 7.20 rating. An interesting duel is afoot in the box.
Chelsea seems to have a thunderous arsenal of players on the field right now. Leading the charge is Cole Palmer with an incredible 8.22 rating, 4 goals, and boasting over 12 shots on goal! Creeping right behind him is Enzo Fernández with a 7.90 rating and 3 goals. Lastly, Axel Disasi is not one to be overlooked either, averaging a respectable 7.70 rating. All three players seem to have a knack for finding their opponents' net frequently.
Everton, on the other hand, has James Tarkowski coming in with a decent rating of 7.47 but no goals. Ashley Young and Dwight McNeil round out their top performers albeit with only a single goal between them. The blue side of the Merseyside will surely need to step up their offense.
Rolling back the archives, we see that historically, Chelsea threw an utter thrashing at Everton 6-0 back in April 2024 but more recently Everton retaliated with a 2-0 win last December. The games between these teams have seen some of everything but clear Chelsea dominance is hard to neglect.
Taking a look at the regular-season records, Chelsea is coming strong with 10 wins, 4 draws, and only 2 losses. Everton, meanwhile, is underperforming with 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses. Recent results are also telling, with Chelsea on a relentless win streak and Everton struggling to find the net.
So, let's cut to the chase. The Blues seem to have a competitive edge in nearly every aspect - higher rated players, stronger performance in recent games and season records, and a flaring track record in the history between these teams. Everton are up against a mountain and they will need a peak performance to handle Chelsea's onslaught.
So in conclusion,
Albert’s Prediction: Chelsea by 3
