Match Preview: Everton vs Chelsea

Everton enters the match against Chelsea with both teams having their own objectives, but recent form and statistics present several noteworthy points. On an individual level, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry are Everton's top scorers, each with 6 goals. On the opposing side, Joao Pedro stands out with 14 goals, ranking 4th in the scoring charts, highlighting a clear difference in attacking quality.

Looking at recent encounters, in the last five meetings, Everton has won only one, drawn one, and lost three to Chelsea. The most recent match in December 2025 saw Chelsea win 2-0, further solidifying their dominance in this fixture. However, these clashes often involve tight contests, with most matches featuring few goals, typically one or two per game.

This season's statistics show Everton is not particularly strong at home, scoring 18 goals and conceding 19, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.27 goals conceded per match. Meanwhile, Chelsea boasts an impressive away record with 30 goals, averaging 2 goals per game, making them the best scoring team away from home. They also defend relatively well, conceding only 1.2 goals per match.

In recent head-to-head matches, Everton scored only 6 goals from 60 shots, a rather low efficiency compared to Chelsea's 13 goals from 112 shots. On average, Everton scored just 0.67 goals per match in these encounters, significantly lower than their season average, while Chelsea averaged 1.44 goals per match.

Regarding notable statistics, Chelsea is the team receiving the most red cards in the league, which could affect their approach to the game. Everton is the team subjected to the most fouls, indicating they often face pressure from opponents. Additionally, Chelsea is also one of the best teams in defending against corners.

Recent form streaks also reflect a certain disparity, as Chelsea has scored in 14 out of their last 15 away matches, while Everton has failed to win in 6 out of their last 7 meetings against this opponent. Nevertheless, Everton has home advantage and has previously posed difficulties for Chelsea.

Overall, Chelsea is rated higher due to their effective attack, but their recent unstable form could lead to difficulties. Everton can certainly leverage their home advantage to secure points in a closely contested match.
