Everton take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 35 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 1st at Goodison Park (Liverpool).
It was a blatant mistake that last summer they called Rafa Benitez and, most importantly, patiently waited for progress from him until the middle of winter. And it is far from certain that the decision to replace the Spaniard with Frank Lampard is correct. But at the same time in April it was possible to squeeze out some successful results. At first, the Toffees managed to beat Manchester United, then, due to a late goal, Richarlison managed to snatch a draw with Leicester. But after that there were 0-2 in the derby with Liverpool - they managed to hold out there for more than an hour, but in the end it all ended with a confident victory for the Reds. In addition, there was an important defeat this month to a direct competitor, Burnley. He, by the way, came to life after the change of mentor, so the struggle for survival only intensified.

Chelsea leave a rather controversial impression. On the one hand, the team has collected a lot of trophies: the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, plus there is the FA Cup final match coming. On the other hand, from the very beginning of 2022, the Blues have actually been hopelessly behind both Manchester City and Liverpool. Yes, and in the Champions League, with all the heroism of the British in Madrid, there was a relegation already in the quarterfinals. It is clear that the club is actually already living with thoughts about the next season. Still, with numerous skilled footballers, it is possible to continue to win in most of the match. However, it is worth remembering that before the 1-0 with Vets Ham it was 2-4 at Stamford Bridge with Arsenal.
Everton are playing well in head-to-heads against Chelsea. They won 3 of the last 8 matches, losing to the "aristocrats" only twice. Everton have had their fair share of losses: Patterson, Davis, Calvert-Lewin, van de Beek, Andre Gomes and Townsend are questionable. Chelsea are still without Chilwell, Kovacevich and Hudson-Odoi. Bookmakers believe that Everton, despite the motivation, will not be able to cling to points at home. However, they have to try, so it's worth betting that Lampard's current team will beat his home club with a +1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with +1.0 handicap.
