OMON3Everton - Chelsea
Everton host Chelsea with both sides level on points

Form lines pointing different ways
Everton have not lost in their last five recent matches, two wins, three draws, and carry the steadier recent record into Saturday. Chelsea's last five contain the same number of wins but two defeats alongside a draw, including a 3-0 reverse and then a 5-1 win in their most recent outing. The volatility shows in the scoring: Chelsea's recent results have produced twenty goals across five matches, nine for and eleven against, while Everton's five have yielded seven in total.
A win would lift either side to thirteen points from seven, enough to sit fourth as the table stands now, though both would remain six adrift of Manchester City at the top. A draw keeps both on eleven points and mid-table; defeat leaves the loser on ten from seven, five points off the early pace.
Recent meetings have been one-sided
The last five encounters between the clubs have produced twelve goals, and Everton have won only one of them, a 3-0 result in March. The four before that brought three Chelsea wins, including a 6-0 margin, and a goalless draw. That lone Everton win is the solitary bright line in a sequence otherwise dominated by the visitors, though it arrived more recently than any of the defeats and by the widest margin either side managed across the five meetings.
