Everton has not been in good shape this year and their weak forward has played a major role in it. Chelsea has an aggressive forward that will get multiple chances to score goals against the Toffees.
However, we can expect Everton to get some chances as well because of Chelseaβs weak defence. We predict that Chelsea will dominate the upcoming fixture and they will score another comfortable win on Sunday.
