Everton and Chelsea meet in the Premier League with the same 10 points from 6 matches, and they sit next to each other in 5th and 6th, so this is a game where both need points to climb into the upper group of the table. Everton are still unbeaten in the league this season, drawing as many as 4 of 6 matches, and they just finished their latest game with a 2-2 draw. Chelsea, meanwhile, have the better edge in terms of goals, scoring 15 and conceding 13 from 6 matches, and they just thrashed their opponents 5-1 in their latest game, but a defense that concedes more is still something to watch. The game shape should be open and end-to-end, because Chelsea need to go forward for a result and have the more dangerous attack, while Everton themselves do not just sit back. But if Chelsea score first, the game should flow toward the away side, who will control play and look for second balls continuously. Everton will need to play more precisely if they want to get back into the game.
