Chelsea vs Everton Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Blues are undefeated against the Toffees in their last three meetings.

Chelsea are all set to lock horns with Everton for their matchweek 16 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an intense outing between these clubs, which will take place at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have failed to perform up to the mark in their last four games. They will be at home for their next one and will be looking to make a return to winning ways. The Enzo Maresca-led Chelsea FC fell prey to Atalanta BC in their UEFA Champions League matchup. For their next game, they will be looking to come up with a better approach.

The Toffees have secured back-to-back wins in their last two English Premier League matches. They are coming in after dominating the proceedings against Nottingham Forest in their previous outing. Even though they will be away from home, Everton will be feeling confident coming into their next league game.

Players to Watch

João Pedro (Chelsea)

The 24-year-old was the sole goal scorer for Chelsea in their UCL loss against La Dea. He will now be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the final third. João Pedro has seven goal involvements in 15 Premier League appearances this season and will now be keen to deliver another top effort.

Thierno Barry (Everton)

Thierno Barry was one of the goal scorers for the Toffees in their 3-0 win against the Garibaldis in their previous fixture. He will be gearing up yet again to help his side on the attacking front. Even though it was his first goal for Everton in the Premier League this season, Barry is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
