Chelsea v Everton result predicted by supercomputer
Everton are heading into their final Premier League games of the season, but have little jeopardy on the line in these upcoming fixtures.
David Moyes returned to help Everton beat the drop by some distance, and the Toffees have even climbed above Manchester United and Tottenham in the table.
There are just five games remaining this season, but Everton could still finish as low as 17th or as high as 13th, with just two points separating the positions in the Premier League.
Everton will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, and the home side have a lot riding on this fixture with a top-five spot up for grabs.
Chelsea backed to beat Everton at Stamford Bridge
Everton will face a Chelsea side who have stuttered in their push for a Champions League spot, but Enzo Maresca’s team have a lot more pressure on them.
However, despite this pressure, Chelsea have been backed to comfortably beat Everton, even with Moyes’ side impressing against ‘big six’ opposition.
| Premier League table | Games Played | Won | Lost | Points |
| 13. Everton | 33 | 8 | 11 | 38 |
Opta’s supercomputer has given Chelsea a 57.9 per cent chance of victory, with the home side clear favourites in the early kick-off.
A draw has been given a 22.5 per cent probability, with an Everton win set at just 19.5 per cent.
Everton’s poor record at Chelsea set to continue?
Everton’s historical record at Stamford Bridge is poor, which is likely a key factor in why their win probability for this fixture is so low.
The Toffees have won away at Chelsea just once in the Premier League era, with a 1-0 victory in 1994 as Paul Rideout scored the only goal of the game.
Everton last beat Chelsea away in the FA Cup in 2011, as they won on penalties following a 1-1 draw. Leighton Baines equalised in the final minute of extra time after Frank Lampard gave Chelsea the lead in a memorable fourth-round clash.
The main focus for the rest of the season will be on Everton’s final matches at Goodison Park, with just two fixtures against Ipswich Town and Southampton remaining at the iconic stadium.
Nevertheless, fans will hope to make the end of this season an enjoyable one, and a first win at Chelsea in 31 years would certainly live long in the memory if Everton can pull it off.
