Chelsea take on the visitors Everton in the round 34 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 26th at Stamford Bridge (London).
Chelsea are still uncertain about achieving their goals. The Blues not so long ago lifted the Champions League trophy. But after the forced change of ownership, the club went through a difficult slump, and even under Pochettino last season, they only managed to climb to 6th place. Maresca, who replaced the Argentine, is fully aware that a clearer and stronger result is now expected. Under his leadership, Chelsea have reached the semifinals of the Conference League. However, that competition is being used mostly to give minutes to squad players and reserves. The Premier League remains the top priority, but inconsistency has been an issue — at their best, they climbed as high as second place, while at their worst, they risked failing to match even last season’s finish. Their 2-1 win against local rivals Fulham last round was hard-fought, but crucial in the race for European spots.

Everton have endured several tough seasons. But Dyche, who replaced Lampard, managed to avoid relegation in 2023 and secured a solid result last campaign, despite the point deductions for financial fair play breaches. After a rough start this season, Sean steadied the team — only to be dismissed following a change in ownership. The new investors brought back David Moyes to Merseyside, and he’s proving that he still has plenty to offer. Under him, Everton have become far more resilient, with very few defeats. They drew against Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, and earned notable wins over Tottenham and Nottingham Forest in April. However, last weekend they struggled against Manchester City and ended up losing 0-2.
Last season, both sides won their home games without conceding. This season, the reverse fixture at Goodison Park ended in a goalless draw. The Blues are under pressure and must go all out for the win — and they should be able to find a way. However, their defense has looked shaky at times, and a determined Everton side is well capable of finding the net. Back both teams to score, with a home win as the likeliest outcome.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
