Everton vs Chelsea Prediction

Everton are 18th in the English Premier League, two points behind 17th-placed Burnley, who have played one game more. Everton have struggled massively this season, and things have not improved under the management of Frank Lampard. Despite signing the likes of Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli in the winter transfer window, Everton have been one of the poorest teams in the league this season.

Relegation would be catastrophic for a historic club like Everton, and a step down the ladder would make a huge negative impact on their already precarious financial situation. The Toffees have to ensure survival.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are third in the league, and have won two of their last five league games. While Champions League football next season looks all but guaranteed, there are some issues that the club will have to address this summer.

Star centre-back Antonio Rudiger will leave the club this summer on a free transfer, with the German likely to join Real Madrid. The bigger problem might be their striker Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku has been one of the worst signings this season, and a fresh start would make sense for all parties concerned. However, Chelsea would likely suffer a huge loss if they were to sell him this summer.

Chelsea to win.
