Chelsea - Everton prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 13, 2025
One of the fixtures of Matchday 16 in the English Premier League will take place this Saturday at Stamford Bridge in London, where the local side Chelsea will host Everton. I suggest betting on goals in this clash, as the odds look quite promising for a successful outcome.
Match preview
The London club is going through a rough patch: they haven’t won in three consecutive matches and failed to break down Bournemouth’s defense in their last outing. Their unbeaten streak has turned into a goalless run, raising concerns not just about their form but also the team’s morale. Despite a decent league position and frequent clean sheets, their attack has clearly lost its edge.
Home fixtures give Chelsea hope: the team consistently opens the scoring and rarely loses on their turf. However, injuries and suspensions in midfield and attack could impact their effectiveness. Plus, the extra burden from European competitions might also take its toll.
The Toffees have found their rhythm — four wins in their last five games speak for themselves. In the previous round, they confidently dispatched Nottingham, marking their first emphatic win of the season. Everton have now scored in six consecutive Premier League matches, making this one of their best attacking spells in recent memory.
Despite not being prolific overall this season, Everton have played boldly on the road, never shying away from a fight. In their last six away matches, the only team to keep them from scoring was Man City, underlining their growing confidence up front. Against a vulnerable Chelsea, the Merseysiders have every chance to find the net again.
Probable lineups
- Chelsea: Sánchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella, Fernández, James, Palmer, Neto, Garnacho, Delap
- Everton: Pickford, Keane, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Alcaraz, Grealish, Ndiaye, Barry
Match facts and head-to-head
- Chelsea have opened the scoring in their last 6 home Premier League matches.
- Everton have scored in six consecutive league games.
- Chelsea have conceded in four of their last five home Premier League matches.
Prediction
Chelsea’s form raises questions, especially after the rigors of European competition and another stumble in the league. Everton are hitting their attacking peak and look motivated even away from home. Given the hosts’ defensive issues, betting on a goal from the visitors at odds of 1.65 seems a logical choice.
