Chelsea vs Everton Predictions

• Chelsea have won four of their last five home games.
• Chelsea have conceded in five successive home fixtures.
• Cole Palmer has scored seven goals in his last five games.

Chelsea looking strong at Stamford Bridge

This season has been a disappointing one for Chelsea, but they still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe and they can boost their bid by seeing off struggling Everton on Monday night.

The hosts have managed to put together an 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions, including an FA Cup tie against Liverpool where they were eliminated in extra time, and at home they have been in fine form – with four wins and a draw in their last five games.

Everton did end a 10-game run without a victory by beating Burnley at Goodison last time out but they are winless in nine on their travels, losing five of those games.

Everton can strike in defeat

A straightforward win for Chelsea looks a decent option here but the bigger price on a home win and both teams to score looks worth backing.

Chelsea have gone five games without a clean sheet at home, shipping 11 goals in total during that run, and Everton have at least scored in three of their last four away from home.

A 3-1 win for the hosts is the correct score prediction as Chelsea have scored at least three goals in four of their last seven games, and at least twice in all of those, and Everton haven’t score more than one goal in an away game since December.

However, the best bet for this game could well be an anytime effort for Chelsea star Cole Palmer.

The former Manchester City man is Chelsea’s leading scorer this season, by some distance, with 16 goals and he has seven in total across his last five games in all competitions. Palmer will also be on penalty duties, so back him to add to his account against Everton on Monday.
