Everton welcome the visitors Chelsea in the English Premiere League – Round 31. The match will be held on Sunday, March, 17th, at the Goodison Park (Liverpool).
After the grudge match against Liverpool two rounds back when Everton took two points from the ‘Reds’, the hosts on the day conceded to Newcastle United. Eight rounds before the end of the campaign, the ‘Toffies’ feature a nine-point handicap from the relegation zone. After the coming clash with Chelsea though, the handicap will probably reduce. If Everton make two or three more slipups in the following fixtures, they may find themselves fighting for survival in the elite division – the team’s latest performance and results have not been impressive. Over the span of six previous rounds, they attained just four points.

Chelsea have progressed to the next Europa League stage after they beat Dynamo Kyiv in both legs. Domestically, they sit sixth in the table, running three points behind the fourth-placed Arsenal, but they have a spare game. The fight in the Premiere League is very tight – each point matters.
Of the previous eight home matches, Marco Silva’s men conceded in four and won only once. The team lost to all leaders this campaign but drawed against the ‘Blues’ in London. In the previous season, the match between the sides also ended level. Both matches saw no goals. Before, Chelsea won Everton in four consecutive meetings. Under the circumstances, Chelsea will probably refresh the memories of how to overcome the ‘Toffies’, as if they don’t pick up points against the side who simply play out the season, they may not only miss the Champions League, they may even miss the European Cups next campaign. For the costly project like Chelsea, this would mean a disaster, and the heads could roll. So, the club are pretty aware of this, and they will do all possible to get the crucial three points on Sunday. They have all they need for this. Even the away turf is not a big deal for Chelsea, as they registered eight wins in fourteen outings. Most likely, they will celebrate the ninth victory away tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win away.
