By FootieRadar Desk · Published · 3 min read
Everton have not lost in six, but that run rests on draws. Two wins and four draws leave them on 10 points, level with Chelsea, with Everton fifth on goal difference (+3) and Chelsea sixth (+2). Kick-off is Saturday 17 October, 2:30pm Kenya time, at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool, with Paul Tierney refereeing.
Chelsea have scored 14 and conceded 11 in their last five games. Everton have scored six and conceded four. Chelsea have the sharper attack, Everton the tighter defence, and Saturday tests that gap.
Everton's draws and Chelsea's mixed run
Everton's unbeaten run is built on draws. Their two league wins came against Crystal Palace (2-0) and Ipswich (1-0), and four of their six league results have been draws, the latest a 2-2 at Hull City on 11 October. Three clean sheets this season, and one game without a goal, the 0-0 at Tottenham, show a side that rarely concedes but has not often scored.
Chelsea's record is three wins, a draw and two defeats. Their 5-1 win over Bournemouth on 10 October came after a 3-0 defeat at Brentford on 18 September. Both league defeats came away from home, at Brentford and at Arsenal.

Two absences for Chelsea, one doubt for Everton
Everton's only listed absence is V. Mykolenko, who is questionable with an injury. Thierno Barry leads their scoring with three goals, and he has scored in two of their last three league games, against Hull and Ipswich.
Chelsea have two absentees. J. Gittens is missing the fixture with an ankle injury, and E. Emegha is questionable with a muscle injury. João Pedro leads their scoring with five goals and three assists, with M. Rogers next on four goals and one assist.
Chelsea's edge in recent meetings
Chelsea have won three of the last five Premier League meetings, Everton one, and the other ended 0-0 in December 2024. Everton's win was the most recent: 3-0 at home in March 2026, and the only meeting of the five in which they scored more than once. Chelsea's biggest margin was the 6-0 in April 2024.
Five meetings is a small sample, so these results describe recent history rather than a settled pattern.
Chelsea's attack, Everton's defence
In six league games Chelsea have scored 15 and conceded 13, while Everton have scored eight and conceded five. Chelsea's attack is the more productive of the two, but the defensive gap is wider, with 13 goals conceded to Everton's five.
At the time of writing, the betting market's view, calculated from odds with the bookmaker's margin removed, has Chelsea on 44%, Everton on 30% and a draw on 26%. That is the market's view, not ours. It rates Chelsea above Everton despite Everton's tighter defensive record, which makes this a contest between Everton's defence and Chelsea's attack.
