Everton vs Chelsea Match Preview
Everton just amassed one of their most important wins of the season so far, defeating Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United 3-0 at Goodison Park. With this win, The Toffees are now out of the relegation zone and are a point ahead of 18th-placed Luton Town.
Meanwhile, Chelsea had to face defeat at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford in Gameweek 15 of the Premier League. Scott McTominay’s brace handed a 2-1 win to the Red Devils with Cole Palmer’s goal proving to be nothing more than a consolation for the Blues. Mauricio Pochettino’s men sit at the 10th position in the Premier League with 19 points, five behind 9th-placed West Ham.
Sunday’s clash will see both Blue teams go head-to-head against each other with three very important points at stake. Everton would be looking to continue with the form that they are in currently while the North Londoners would be in the hunt for a win to keep their hopes of European qualification alive.
