Chelsea take on the visitors Everton in the round 33 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 15th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea failed to improve as much as expected from them. The Blues were the main disappointment of the previous season in English football. The club, which won the Champions League in 2021, finished only 12th in the Premier League. After such a failure, serious competition was expected for reclaiming lost positions. However, under Pochettino, significant progress has been noted in cup competitions. The League Cup ended at Wembley in late February with a final against Liverpool. Despite having the overall advantage, they failed to score against Kelleher at first, and then, in the end of extra time, conceded from van Dijk's standard - resulting in a 0-1 defeat and the trophy going to the Reds. In the FA Cup, Modric and company reached the semifinals but faced tough competition from Manchester City. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, the capital's giants are performing quite mediocrely, although they still have a chance to break into the European spots. Their inconsistent victory against Man United - 2-0 / 2-3 / 4-3, with decisive goals in the 90+ minute, was noteworthy. But after that, matches against Sheffield United and earlier against another outsider, Burnley, ended in 2-2 draws.

Everton are not devoid of ambitions, and not long ago, under Ancelotti, they openly aimed for a Champions League spot. However, Carlo ultimately failed to even get the club from Liverpool into European competitions. After his departure, it all descended into a battle for survival, a desperate one, where survival was guaranteed almost until the last matchday. The Blues under Sean Dyche improved, and even with a 10-point deduction, they still had chances for salvation. Then they were granted an additional 4 points through an appeal. The only concern was that the team suddenly forgot how to win in the Premier League - since mid-December, with their victory over Burnley. However, in the last match, they faced Burnley again, and it was Calvert-Lewin who decided the outcome, scoring the only goal in the 45th+ minute. Of course, O’Shea's dismissal, which left the opponent with ten men for almost half an hour, also helped. These 1-0 wins only helped maintain the status quo with Luton, the best of the bottom three - The Hatters also managed to win in the last round. Then a couple of points were also deducted from the club from Liverpool, suggesting that this might not be the final penalty.
For The Blues, The Toffees have historically been an uncomfortable opponent. And nothing has changed, even this season in Liverpool, the hosts confidently secured a 2-0 victory. The Blues are considered the clear favorites of the pair. But they are not showing stability, so it's worth betting on total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
