Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Everton vs Chelsea

Everton

Everton did not have the best last season and the second part of the campaign the team struggled to maintain a residence in the elite of British football. This season, the Toffees under the leadership of Frank Lampard will definitely strive to perform many times stronger and better.

Star striker Richarlison left the team this summer and so far Everton have been unable to find a suitable replacement for the Brazilian. In the first round, Irisok's mentor will have to rely on proven performers, which means that there will be no surprises from the hosts in terms of the composition for the game.

Chelsea

Chelsea is traditionally included in the cohort of teams that are called favorites for the upcoming season in the Premier League. The Blues have done a good job in the transfer market, but before the window closes, they will certainly try to strengthen their squad with new high-value players.

In the first round, Thomas Tuchel's team will play away against Everton and such a meeting will not be an easy walk for the guests. Last season, Chelsea could not beat their opponent, so in the next game they will try not only to take the first three points, but also try to take revenge on the Irisok.
