Premier League preview: Chelsea vs Everton

Chelsea have won five of their last six home matches, and that form has driven significant interest in the Full Time result market, where 87% of punters are backing Chelsea to win at 11/20. Their recent 2-0 victory away at Fulham and a dominant 1-0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur underscore their growing momentum.

Everton, by contrast, have struggled to find consistency, particularly on the road, having scored just once in their last two away trips. With Chelsea showing sharper attacking edges at Stamford Bridge, it’s clear why confidence among backers is leaning so heavily in the Blues’ favour, despite the relatively short odds—readers will need to judge for themselves if there’s sufficient value.

BTTS a Consistent Feature in Everton Games

Both teams have scored in seven of Everton’s last ten matches, a trend fuelling strong betting interest in the “Both Teams To Score” market. At 22/25, a striking 83% of UK punters are expecting both sides to find the net in this clash.

While Chelsea kept a clean sheet against Spurs, they’ve conceded in three of their last six league fixtures. Everton’s unpredictable goal output hasn’t deterred backers, and the recent 2-2 draw between these sides back in March 2023 highlights that both clubs have the potential to unlock each other defensively.

Chelsea’s Recent Encounters Hint at Tight Scorelines

There have been under 3.5 total goals in seven of Chelsea’s last nine matches against Everton, aligning with a cautious outlook from 33% of punters who have backed “Under 3.5 Goals” at 8/25.

Although this is the shortest price among the main markets and readers will have to decide for themselves if it offers enough value, the odds reflect how frequently these fixtures have delivered low-scoring results. Their December 2024 meeting ended 0-0, and despite Chelsea’s offensive strength at home, the fixture history tempers expectations of a goal-fest.

Uncertainty Around Palmer’s Shooting Output

One market drawing more divided opinion is Cole Palmer’s shots on target. At 17/10 for under 0.5 shots on target, just 38% of punters are taking a stance against him getting an effort on target. With no additional stats included on Palmer’s individual shooting record in the dataset, the backing levels suggest some punters are weighing up possible value in the under—though it remains far from a consensus pick.
