Can Chelsea keep their top four hopes alive?
The Toffees have enjoyed success in this fixture in recent times, only losing one of the last four on home soil against the West Londoners. What’s more, it might be a good time to be playing Sarri’s men, who were fortunate to escape with a point against Wolves in their last Premier League match. Pessimists will point to Everton’s one home win this calendar year but competitive performances against Liverpool and City indicate that they could well get something here. With the double chance at odds-against, it’s worth a small play.
Chelsea’s away goals total in the league reads like some binary (with a rogue number): 10002 in the last five games. Everton’s isn’t much better: 02100 in the same amount of home games. With that being said, under 2.5 goals looks a very safe bet.
It could well be tight at Goodison Park and a bizarre stat jumped out when researching this game. For both teams this calendar year in all competitions, every draw they have had has also been a draw at half-time. The Draw/Draw Half-Time/Full-Time is a huge 5/1 and is a good bet to end on.
