Chelsea

The team appeared at the very bottom in the winter. The inability to score at least one goal and the associated series of failures, when “the Aristocrats” were beaten even by Southampton, the weakest, at that time, representative of the Premier League, prove the higher mentioned fact. Only the unwillingness to admit his mistake did not allow Boehly, the American billionaire, to fire Potter, who had replaced Tuchel only in the autumn. Still, the pressure on Graham was incredible. It became a little bit lower after the long-awaited victory, and it did not matter that it was a 1-0 success in the match against Leeds, which came down to a struggle for survival. It goes without saying that the 2-0 one in the battle with Borussia was a real success, especially since it compensated a 0-1 defeat in Dortmund and, as a result, allowed to appear in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Then, there was a confident 3-1 score in the match with Leicester. By the way, Mudryk, who came back to the starting squad, also took part in the last goal of that game as an assistant.

Everton

The club clearly intends to repeat what happened a year ago. Then, the coaching castling saved from relegation – Lampard came instead of Rafa Benitez, who had failed. Frank coped with the task, but, to tell the truth, “the Toffees” were really weak under his rule, and, perhaps, the dismissal of the English specialist had been even delayed. As a result, the new manager, Sean Daish, had to “pull” the Liverpool team out of the relegation zone. He has already achieved some interesting successes: the wins over the leader, Arsenal, and in the match against a direct rival, Leeds, as well as a 2-2 draw in the battle with Nottingham Forest. At the same time, there were enough defeats, so the situation remains hard, and the tour schedule is difficult. On the other hand, the struggle of the previous round with such a strong opponent as Brentford was won in accordance with the style of the new mentor – 1-0.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

These opponents are unexpectedly equal: seven previous head-to-head rounds resulted in 3 wins per each team. Speaking about 2022, they exchanged the 1-0 victories.

Predictions

Bookmakers are waiting for Chelsea to win. Nevertheless, it is worth remembering how boring the rivals play – thus, it is reasonable to use the option of “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.81).
