Following a last gasp win at Fulham last time out, Chelsea will be eager to push on with their top 5 Premier League aspirations, as they host Everton at Stamford Bridge. The Toffees remain a very tough nut to crack under David Moyes and they are fighting to the end in the Premier League this season. Chelsea meanwhile have a Europa Conference League semi-final to look forward to also and they could shuffle the pack a touch ahead of this crucial encounter.

Chelsea vs Everton Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites in West London.
Chelsea
Chelsea have been inconsistent under Enzo Maresca this season, but they would see finishing inside the top 5 as a real step forwards in terms of their aspirations. They sit two games away from a European final in the Conference League, but it is in the Premier League that their focus lies currently. They are in an almighty battle to finish inside the top 5 and have some very tough games to come, making this one at home crucial and they are strong favourites with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Wesley Fofana & Marc Guiu are out injured for the blues.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Sachez, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Neto, Madueke & Jackson.
Everton
Manchester City managed to grind Everton down last weekend and pick up all three points, but David Moyes will want to see his charges bounce back in this one. They have made life tough for most sides they have come up against this season and they will relish going to Stamford Bridge and being a tough nut to crack. A top half finish remains within reach for the Toffees, who have a new ground to look forward to next season and they will want to finish this campaign as strongly as possible.
Team news: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Tarkowski, Jesper Lindstom and Orel Mangala miss out here for Everton.
Everton Predicted Lineup:
Pickford, Coleman, O’Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Garner, Gueye, Doucoure, Harrison, McNeil & Ndiaye.
Chelsea vs Everton Prediction
Stylistically, these are two very different sides but that should make for a very good game here in West London. Chelsea need the points, as they continue to battle away in the race to finish inside the top 5 and they will be the ones playing all the football here. Everton can remain patient and difficult to break down, safe in the knowledge they have match winners, should Chelsea not put them away. All of the pressure is on Chelsea to win this one, but the blues should deliver.
Prediction: Chelsea to win the match – 5/8 (-163) – Rhino Bet.
Chelsea vs Everton – The Ultimate Bet
Chelsea to win to nil – 17/10 (+170) – Fitzdares
Everton won’t be too expansive here and they will look to keep Chelsea at bay for as long as possible. Consequently, this could turn out to be a gritty and cagey win for Chelsea at home.
