Everton are back in Premier League action against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
David Moyes’ side will be keen to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Everton welcome Chelsea to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, knowing a win would see them move closer to their European goals.
Moyes’ current deal expires next year… 🤔
Ahead of the home clash on Merseyside, Opta’s supercomputer has predicted what the outcome will be.
Supercomputer makes Chelsea favourites vs Everton
The software has actually made the visitors the favourites this weekend.
Opta has given Liam Rosenior’s side a 40.9% chance of securing the three points, with Everton 33.4% likely. A draw is 25.7% probable.
Wonder how much we’d be able to sell him for…😬
Chelsea will be without their captain Reece James, as he could be sidelined for several weeks with a hamstring injury.
Everton, meanwhile, could be boosted by the return of Jarrad Branthwaite after he missed the Arsenal clash.
James Tarkowski remains a doubt, although Moyes has kept his cards close to his chest on his condition.
“I am not sharing anything with you, you have named the changes already! We are missing two centre-halves today, but we have also got two who have done really well for us as well,” Moyes stated last week.
Everton’s recent record vs Chelsea
Everton don’t have the best record against Chelsea in recent years.
The Toffees suffered a 2-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier this season.
