CHELSEA welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge for Saturday's Premier League showdown as the hosts continue their charge for Champions League qualification.
Chelsea vs Everton preview
Chelsea host Everton in Saturday’s early kick-off at Stamford Bridge, and the pressure is all on the home side.
Enzo Maresca’s team are still chasing a top-five finish to secure Champions League football next season. Anything less, and it’s another year of Thursday night football.
So their dramatic 93rd-minute winner at Fulham last weekend couldn’t have come at a better time. Pedro Neto’s stunner gave Chelsea their first away league win of the year and kept their top-five hopes alive.
Chelsea are sixth in the table with 57 points, just two behind Newcastle in fifth with five games left to play.
And they'll like their chances on home turf. Chelsea haven’t lost to Everton at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League since 1994. That’s 29 games unbeaten – 16 wins and 13 draws.
They’re also unbeaten in their last four league games and are taking more shots at home than any other Premier League side this season, averaging 18.8 per game.
As for Everton, their job is done. Survival was confirmed last weekend, and there’s little left to play for with the club unlikely to climb any higher than 13th.
After losing just one of Moyes’ first 10 Premier League matches since his return to the club, Everton have now lost two of their last four â albeit against Manchester City and arch-rivals Liverpool.
David Moyes’ personal record in this fixture is grim. He’s managed 19 Premier League away games at Stamford Bridge and hasn’t won a single one.

Win to Nil
It's extremely difficult to look past Chelsea's exceptional home record against both Everton and their manager David Moyes.
As mentioned, Moyes hasn't won a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge in 19 attempts, while the Toffees haven't emerged victorious since 1994.
Chelsea will be motivated to clinch Champions League qualification and buoyed by their stoppage-time win over London rivals Fulham last weekend.
Furthermore, Everton have the division's fourth-lowest away goals tally over the last six games (6) and the fifth-lowest xG (6.62).

Cole goal
It's been a difficult 2025 for Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer, who's scored just two goals this calendar year – but it's not for want of trying.
The 22-year-old is still delivering good attacking numbers, and still ranks highest in the Chelsea squad (over the last six games) for touches in the opposition penalty area, attempts on goal and shots on target – averaging an effort evert 18.4 minutes.
He also has fond memories of this fixture having netted FOUR times in this exact game last campaign and could get finish the season with a flourish.
