Chelsea Preview: Frustrated Blues
Enzo Maresca has said that regardless of what happens in the final month of the campaign that it has been a positive season but that is not a sentiment shared by the vast majority of supporters as they grow increasingly frustrated with the style of football.
The Blues did earn themselves a vital victory against their west London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend in a game whereby they were 1-0 down late on until late goals scored by Tyrique George and Pedro Neto.
Everton Preview: Sticky Toffees
David Moyes’ second spell in charge of Everton has been a positive one as the Toffees move comfortably into the middle-of-the-table ahead of their long-awaited move to Bramley-Moore Docks for next season.
The Toffees do come into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss to Manchester City at Goodison Park in their most recent outing last weekend due to two late City goals. That does mean they have now managed just one victory in their last eight matches in the Premier League.

Chelsea vs Everton Prediction
As mentioned, Chelsea have been really underwhelming of late and over the last few months, moving from the fringes of a title challenge to now beginning this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting outside of the top five and the UEFA Champions League spots with growing discontent from supporters. If you are vulnerable, it would not be ideal to face this Everton side that can make things very difficult and could also do with a win themselves just to arrest a recent slide so siding with the visitors may well be a good value bet for this one at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea vs Everton Tip: Double chance – Everton to win or draw
