Chelsea finds itself in a rollercoaster of emotions recently, swinging between thrilling victories and disappointing draws. Despite a dramatic 4-3 comeback win against Manchester United, followed by a surprising 2-2 draw against bottom-ranked Sheffield United, Chelsea remains hopeful for a turnaround as they face Everton.

Currently sitting at ninth place in the Premier League table, Chelsea’s quest for European qualification is still within reach, with only a four-point gap from the top seven and two games in hand. However, injuries have plagued the team, with key players like Enzo Fernandez and Axel Disasi sidelined, adding to their woes.

Despite their injury concerns, Chelsea’s recent form has shown signs of improvement, with a seven-game unbeaten streak in the league. Their home record at Stamford Bridge is particularly impressive, winning six out of their last eight Premier League matches.

On the other hand, Everton is also facing challenges to secure their Premier League status. Despite a crucial win against Burnley in their last outing, Everton’s position remains precarious, with only a two-point gap from the relegation zone. Their recent penalty deductions by the Premier League have further complicated their situation, with a total of eight points deducted this season.

In their previous encounter this season, Everton secured a 2-0 victory against Chelsea. However, history is not on their side, as they have failed to win in their last 28 away matches at Stamford Bridge.

While Everton’s recent form against Chelsea has been promising, Chelsea’s resilience and home advantage make them the favorites in this matchup. Despite their injury woes, Chelsea’s depth and determination could see them through to another vital victory in their pursuit of European football.
