Chelsea should win…but not till late on
In today’s Premier League match between Chelsea and Everton we really fancy the home team to land the three points that will keep their slender title hopes alive against an Everton side who may run out of steam before the end of 90 minutes. However, Everton should keep them waiting until the second 45 minutes for that all important lead.
David Moyes will be plotting to gain his first Premiership victory away to a Big Four club in 29 attempts since he took over the reigns at Goodison Park when Everton visit Stamford Bridge. Moreover, Everton face a Chelsea team unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League against non-Big Four opponents since December 2003.
Prospects of an Everton success then, look remote, particularly in the light of a tough 120 minutes at Wembley on Sunday for the Toffees. However, Everton are no pushovers these days and Chelsea are unlikely to have things all their own way, as they know only too well from their recent encounters here against the blue half of Merseyside.
Everton have been level at the break in four of their last five Premiership visits to Stamford Bridge, and came away with a point in each of their last two matches here. Moreover, the Toffees have been level at half-time in six of their nine visits to Big Four clubs in the league since 2007, eventually losing five times. We are therefore advising a bet on Draw/Chelsea in the half-time/full-time market at 67/20 with BetUK.
