My Prediction
Chelsea by 2Well, we've got ourselves a proper showdown here between Chelsea and Everton. On the Chelsea side, we aren't seeing a wall erected in front of the net, with Robert Sanchez holding a relatively modest rating of 6.82 and just 6 saves. Maybe he's been napping during the games? Over on the Everton side, Jordan Pickford's been quite the busy bee, touting a satisfactory 7.28 rating with 15 saves to his name. Seems he's got an impressive knack for stopping those flying projectiles.
Looking at the players, Everton brings to the table the likes of James Tarkowski and Vitaliy Mykolenko, both with commendable ratings but couldn't shoot a ball in the goal if it was the size of a barn door. Abdoulaye Doucouré might be their saving grace with one goal in his back pocket and a knack for zipping the ball around with 79.8% accurate pass percentage.
Over to Chelsea's crew, Pedro Neto stands above the others. With 1 goal, 6 shots at glory, and finishing just shy of a perfect pass score with 95.7%, he's one to watch. Enzo Fernández isn't slacking either, showing promising stats with one goal and 84.2% accuracy in passing.
Thinking back on history, Everton seems to prefer losses to Chelsea based on the past cold showdowns. The Regular Season Records are quite the one-sided affair, with Chelsea out-performing Everton 16-8 in victories. That's gotta sting.
Recent results provide some fuel to the lingering fire, decent performances by both sides, although Chelsea seems to have an edge, winning two of their last five games, as opposed to Everton's single victory. I guess it's hard to win when you forget to aim at the net.
Taking these bits and bobs into consideration, the chances of Everton keeping up with the Blues seem as probable as me signing for Real Madrid this summer. While the game of football can be as unpredictable as British weather, I'm seeing Chelsea bagging this one by a margin.
