Both teams to score – Chelsea concede regularly at home and Everton have scored in five of their last six away matches.
Under 10.5 corners – Chelsea average under nine corners per home match and Everton average under nine on their travels.
Thierno Barry to commit 2+ fouls – Barry commits 2.2 fouls per 90 minutes and will face frequent duels in wide areas.
Chelsea need a lift after a slow start to December. A draw with Arsenal steadied things, but defeats to Atalanta and Leeds, plus a frustrating stalemate at Bournemouth, slowed their momentum.
They sit fifth in the Premier League and remain eight points behind the leaders, so this final home match before Christmas carries weight.
Maresca’s team have produced strong spells at Stamford Bridge, yet their rhythm has slipped in recent weeks. Caicedo is suspended, Delap remains sidelined and Fofana is a doubt. However, Cole Palmer’s return offers much-needed quality in the final third.
Everton arrive in better form. David Moyes’ side have won four of their last five Premier League games and look confident again. Away victories at Bournemouth and Manchester United underline their progress. Another positive result would move them above Chelsea and strengthen their push for European football.
What are the best bets for Chelsea vs Everton?
Both teams to score
Chelsea score freely at Stamford Bridge but usually give up chances. Everton have scored in five of their last six away matches and carry a real threat in transition.
Under 10.5 corners
Chelsea average fewer than 10 corners per home match. On the other hand, Everton’s matches produce fewer than nine. Neither team relies on constant wide deliveries, so the corner count could stay low.
Thierno Barry to commit 2+ fouls
Barry averages 2.2 fouls per 90 minutes. The clumsy and often frustrated forward wasn’t built to tackle. If he’s on the pitch for long enough, two or three fouls are a given.
