Everton vs Chelsea Predictions
Chelsea’s road gets awkward again
Everton ended a long wait for a home win by beating Burnley 2-0 earlier this month. That result matters here because their switch from Goodison Park to Hill Dickinson Stadium had not brought many home victories before then.
There is also a long home trend against Chelsea that is hard to brush aside. Everton have lost only one of their last eight home Premier League meetings with the Blues, and they kept six clean sheets across those games. Chelsea have also failed to score on their last two visits to Everton, including a 2-0 defeat in December 2023.
That leaves the away side with little recent comfort. Chelsea have lost three matches in a row, and last Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle came between the two legs of an 8-2 aggregate loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Liam Rosenior is under pressure now, with Chelsea winning only one of their last seven matches in regulation time.
Everton sit eighth before this one, so the table gives the game extra edge without changing the basic picture. Burnley were beaten 2-0 in Everton’s last home fixture, Chelsea lost 2-0 on their most recent league visit here, and that makes the Draw No Bet line hard to ignore.

A familiar face can hurt Chelsea
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has settled well since leaving Chelsea for Everton in the summer. He has six goals this season, and no Everton player has scored more.
His latest goal came in that 2-0 win over Burnley, so there is already a recent home strike on the board. Go back a little further and he also delivered a goal and an assist in the December win over Nottingham Forest, which was Everton’s previous home victory before the Burnley result.
There is a neat personal angle here as well. Dewsbury-Hall made only two Premier League starts during his lone season at Stamford Bridge, so this meeting carries a bit more edge than usual. He was forced off early in the reverse fixture through injury, which adds another small layer to his motivation without changing the numbers.
The price reflects that this is still an anytime scorer bet rather than a central match line. Even so, Everton’s joint-leading scorer is turning up in key home wins, and a player with six goals and a point to prove makes plenty of appeal at 5.50.
