Chelsea vs Everton Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Chelsea enter their home clash with Everton as favourites, as Enzo Maresca’s men sit fifth in the Premier League standings with 57 points from 33 matches, while Everton are 13th with 38 points from the same number of games.

Everton have not managed to win at Stamford Bridge since an FA Cup tie back in 2011, while their last visit to the home of the Pensioners saw them suffer a heavy 6-0 defeat back in April 2024.

Enzo Maresca’s side have the sixth-best home record in the Premier League this campaign as they have earned 32 points from 16 matches, while Everton’s away record is the seventh-worst in the division, as they have won just four of 16 games, seeing them accumulate just 18 points away from Goodison Park.

The Both Teams to Score market has occurred in Chelsea’s last three matches, something we expect to continue here, with the Blues coming out on top as 2-1 victors.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Everton

In Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off, Chelsea hosts Everton in what is a vital clash for the hosts in the race for Champions League qualification.

Date: 26/04/2025

Location: Stamford Bridge

Time: 12:30pm

The most recent head-to-head encounter between these two sides resulted in a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park back in late December, a game that saw the Blues miss out on a chance to go top of the Premier League standings.

Chelsea fans will be dreaming of a repeat of their last meeting with Everton at Stamford Bridge on 15th April 2024, as they thrashed the Toffees 6-0 thanks to goals by Cole Palmer (4), Nicolas Jackson and Alfie Gilchrist.

Pressure looks to be mounting up on Enzo Maresca as Chelsea continue to falter in their bid to qualify for Champions League football. The Stamford Bridge club have won just six of their last 17 Premier League matches, seeing them go from certainties to qualify to potentially missing out on qualification altogether, as they sit level on points with Aston Villa in 7th-place.

Maresca will be hoping to alleviate some pressure with a UEFA Europa Conference League win, as Chelsea are set to play Swedish outfit Djurgardens in the semi-finals of that competition.

On the other hand, Everton are 13th in the Premier League with 38 points from 33 matches, meaning that they are safe for another season. David Moyes has done a solid job since returning to Goodison Park, as the Toffees have won five, drawn four and lost four matches under the Scotsman, taking them from relegation battlers to a solid mid-table outfit.

Chelsea versus Everton will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate.

Everton

Everton suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City last Saturday, as late goals from Nico O’Reilly and Mateo Kovacic gave Pep Guardiola’s men all three points.

The Toffees had earned a superb win at Nottingham Forest (1-0) before that game, as Abdoulaye Doucoure fired in a 94th-minute goal at the City Ground.
