EVERTON V CHELSEA AND BETTING TIPS

Everton remain one of only three sides in England Premiership to be unbeaten. Three draws though are not the start Toffees fans were after and Everton have been involved in two 0-0 draws in the last two games with not much in the creation department. Big changes on deadline day saw Maroune Fellaini take off to Man Utd with Gareth Barry, James McCarthy and Romelu Lukaku sign on for the season. Everton have the basis of a very good side but need to just sharpen up in and around the box. Darron Gibson and Antolin Alcaraz are both nearing full fitness and are pushing for squad places. New signing Lukaku is the only missing man due to Everton playing Chelsea.

Chelsea have begun life under Mourinho for the 2^nd time around and look a very strong side indeed. Mourinho has gone straight in with his English spine of Terry and Lampard and the two players have responded with solid performances. Chelsea beat Hull and Villa without over impressing, a 0-0 draw with Man Utd reminded up of how negative ‘The Special One’ can sometimes be. Chelsea raided the fire sales of Anzhi in Russia and brought in Willian and Samuel Eto’o, the Cameroon striker should go straight into the team but Willian may have to wait as his fitness is assessed. Lukaku and Moses left on loan but Chelsea have only Oscar and Hazard as doubts for the game.

EVERTON V CHELSEA: RUN OF PLAY

Three wins for Chelsea, two for Everton and 1 draw in the last six matches. Both teams to score has connected 4 of the 6 matches. Total goals in this fixture are 15 for an average of dead on 2.50 goals. At Goodison Park there has been 1 win for each sides and 1 draw. Just 5 goals in three matches in what is usually an ultra-competitive game.

EVERTON V CHELSEA PREDICTIONS AND BETTING TIPS: 1X2

A very close game this one between two sides who have been very tight in all three games so far this season. Everton lose a lot in the sale of Fellaini and his loss will be keenly felt. Lukaku will be a massive plus for The Toffees but he will not feature here. Chelsea are likely to start with Eto’o and the African hitman is deadly around the box. I take Chelsea to win the game at 2.35 with Bet365.

EVERTON V CHELSEA PREDICTIONS AND BETTING TIPS: TOTAL GOALS

Goals are likely to be at a premium here between two sides who have been excellent defensively so far this season. With just 9 goals in 6 games between them this season for an average of just 1.50 goals this should be a battle alright. Everton usually up their game against the big sides but may find scoring difficult. I take Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 with bet365 again.
