Everton vs Chelsea Prediction & Tip

Details:

Everton is coming off a very difficult season as they were very close to relegation to the Championship. The Toffees are one of only six clubs that have played in every Premier League season and that run was in real jeopardy last season.

With the lesson learned, Frank Lampard will try to have a completely different campaign this time

James Tarkowski from Burnley is the only player Everton signed in the transfer period. Richarlison, who was one of the best Everton players last season, moved to Tottenham.

Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last season which sounds pretty good but the fact that they were 19 points behind the champion Manchester City is clearly showing the improvement they will need to make to be contenders this season.

Chelsea’s lineup will look different from last season as Romelu Lukaku is moved to Inter Milan and Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid.

Anyway, Chelsea did not miss the opportunity to get stronger in the summer transfer window. They landed Raheem Sterling from Manchester City, Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli and Omari Hutchinson from Arsenal.

Key facts

• Both teams won 2 of the last 5 games with one draw
• The last four games between these two teams have finished under 2.5 goals
• Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman and Andros Townsend will not play for Everton
• Timo Werner is questionable for Chelsea 

Chelsea's lineup will look very different compared to last season and they will need some time to work things up. The Blues already had a great defensive line and now with the addition of Koulibaly, they will be even better. Frank Lampard will open the new season against the team where he was a playing legend. Everton will be focused on defense trying to avoid loss in the season opener and that will lead to a slower pace of the game. Chelsea will go after all three points at Goodison Park but will have trouble scoring as their offensive line is pretty much different after Lukaku left. The best tip for this game is on under 2.5 goals just as the last four games between these two teams finished.
