Prediction: 2-0
Everton
After surviving Leeds United at the weekend, Chelsea will look to stay in the title race when they take on Everton in yet another home fixture. The Blues are two points behind league leaders Man City, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for Thomas Tuchel’s troops. Romelu Lukaku is pushing for a start, while all Kante, Kovacic, Chilwell, and Chalobah remain on the sidelines.
The Toffees, on the other hand, occupy 14th place in the standings ahead of the trip to London, and given their anything but good away record, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Rafa Benitez’s troops. In their last meeting at Stamford Bridge Chelsea defeated Everton 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Santi Mina, who suffered an injury in a 2-1 win over Arsenal, remains in the recovery room, alongside Calvert-Lewin, Sigurdsson, and Davies.
Highlighted Player (N Golo Kante):
Born in Paris in 1991, N’Golo Kante spent his early career playing for French minnows Boulogne and Caen, but he didn’t need a lot of time to catch the eye of high-profile clubs. The holding midfielder was on the verge of joining Marseille in the summer of 2015 when Leicester City submitted a £5.6 million for his services and he eventually signed for the King Power Stadium outfit.
Destiny appears to have played a part in the move as Kante would go on to become one of leading Premier League footballers in an unbelievable season that ended with the Foxes winning the Premiership trophy. Having deservedly been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, Kante would also receive the first ever call-up for the national team in March 2016, and he impressed in his first two appearances, scoring a goal in the 4-2 triumph over Russia.
A combative midfielder with an amazing pair of lungs, Kante impressed Premier League fans and pundits alike, and he will probably go down as one of the best holding midfielders to have ever played for an English club.
Highlighted Team (Everton):
Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.
The Toffees play their home matches at Goodison Park, the stadium that was opened in 1892. Everton have won the national championship nine times, with the team winning their last domestic trophy back in 1987.
The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
