Chelsea vs Everton Prediction 26 April 2025
🔊 Can Chelsea make their way back into the Champions League spots by the end of the 34th round of the English Premier League? To achieve this, they need at least a win against Everton at Stamford Bridge and hope for a slip-up from Newcastle or Nottingham Forest. Everton have no significant standings objectives at the moment. However, David Moyes is laying the groundwork for next season, so his team certainly won't just be going through the motions on the field. In this scenario, we'll explore various options to make a well-founded prediction.

Head-to-head statistics Chelsea - Everton

Chelsea Team Overview
🔵 Chelsea have already dropped points twice in April. They've had a packed schedule but haven't faced any truly formidable opponents. Nevertheless, the Blues settled for a goalless draw against Brentford (0-0). They also shared the spoils with Ipswich (2-2), despite trailing by two goals at halftime.
🔗 Chelsea suffered a defeat at Stamford Bridge to Legia in the Conference League (1-2). Fortunately, they had secured a three-goal advantage in the away leg. Otherwise, the tournament's main favorites would have been knocked out in the quarterfinals. In the next round, they were fortunate with the draw and will face Djurgården.
📌 Last weekend, the Blues were close to another slip-up. They conceded to Fulham as early as the 20th minute. However, they not only equalized but also clinched a victory in stoppage time. Despite this win, they remain in sixth place in the league standings.
📣 Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca believes his team deserved the victory over Fulham: “We started well in the first 20 minutes, but unfortunately conceded, which is tough for players in a match we needed to win. It became more challenging, but we made certain tactical adjustments in the second half, which was much better.”
❌ Wesley Fofana and Marc Guehi remain sidelined for Chelsea, both being part of the squad rotation. Malo Gusto came on as a substitute after halftime in the last match but was forced off again later on, putting his participation in the upcoming fixture in doubt.

Everton Team Overview
🔵 Under David Moyes, Everton have been on an unbeaten run, but victories have been elusive. It's worth noting that nearly two months passed between their wins over Crystal Palace (2-1) and Nottingham Forest (1-0), with both triumphs coming late in the game. Against Forest, the winning goal came in stoppage time.
🔗 However, Everton failed to build on this momentum. In their last outing, they defended resolutely against Manchester City for 83 minutes. Moyes' side stepped up in the second half, but it would be a stretch to say they deserved a goal. Meanwhile, City managed to score again in stoppage time.
📣 After drawing with Liverpool and Arsenal at Goodison Park, David Moyes had higher expectations against City: “The substitutes didn't manage to change the course of the game when we needed it. So yes, it's a bit disappointing. But overall, the players were fantastic, and I can't complain. We are disappointed with the defeat to Manchester City. That says a lot.”
❌ James Tarkowski suffered an injury against City and was substituted early in the second half. The extent of his injury is unclear, putting his participation in the upcoming match in doubt. Calvert-Lewin, Mangala, and Lindstrøm remain sidelined.

Editorial Prediction
The clash between Chelsea and Everton promises to be a tactical battle between teams with contrasting styles of play. Chelsea will aim to dominate possession and create chances through positional attacks, while Everton will focus on solid defense and quick counter-attacks. Considering both teams' current form, a bet on under 2.5 goals seems to be the most reasonable prediction. This outcome has occurred in Everton's last seven consecutive matches, as well as in seven of the last nine head-to-head encounters between the two sides.
