A potentially newly climbed Chelsea junction of the Premier League campaign on the weekend when they welcome Everton in Stamford Bridge.
A feeling of dissatisfaction has prevailed over West London in the past few weeks, but the blues has contributed to releasing part of it by achieving a crucial late comeback in Fulham last weekend. Pedro Neto achieved a violent winner in added time to ensure that the Enzo Maresca team remained good in the mix to request a spot for Champions League.
In these one sixth in the table and two points of the fifth point. With the visits to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, which will soon be imminent, this is a game that Chelsea has to win.
However, Everton has proven to be stiff resistance under David Moyes. Last weekend they suffered their first defeat in Goodison Park in the Premier League, since Moyes supervised a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa on his second Toffees Manager sheet. Manchester City gathered late to win a 2-0 win against Merseyside.
The Toffees won impressively on the City Ground last time and have long been confirmed as a top outfit for 2025/26. They are currently taking 13th place in the Ligabelle.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the collision.

The young Tyrique George may have played in Chelsea’s Premier League Xi, and he could replace Noni Madueke on Saturday in Maresca’s starting line -up. Craven Cottage Match winner Pedro Neto starts on the opposite flank.
The blues are still without star defenders Wesley Fofana, while Malo Gusto suffered a thigh injury in Fulham last week in Fulham. Reece James should keep his place in the right -back.
Gabriel Slonina, Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman are also injured for the hosts.
Chelsea predicted line-up against Fulham (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, George; Jackson.
James Tarkowski suffered a thigh injury from Everton’s defeat against Manchester City last week, so Michael Keane started in right -back alongside Jarrad Branthwaite with Jake O’Brien.
Armando Broja will miss his parents ‘club and open the door for Beto to return to Moyes’ line -up.
Jesper Lindstrom and Orel Mangala will not play again this season.
Everton predicted Lineup against Chelsea (4-4-1-1): Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Garrner, Gueye, Ndiaye; Doucore; Beto.
The likely absence of Tarkowski is a big blow for the visitors who do not play as much and stand against a Chelsea team that aims to build on the dynamic that was obtained from craven cottage.
Maresca may not maximize the talents of the attack arsenal available to him, but his side is generally stable and able to tame Everton’s improved threat to Moyes. Slides could be a problem and the bridge could be nervous if the toffees dig in the heels.
In view of the difficult away campaigns that are on the horizon, we will support the blues to give themselves a chance by winning a Cagey affair on Saturday.
