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

The Toffees won five of their last eight home league games against the Blues.

Everton are all set to lock horns with Chelsea FC for their matchweek 31 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an interesting outing between these clubs, taking place at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Toffees are coming in after facing a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. They tried hard to hold the Gunners, but conceded two late goals to drop three points. Everton will be at home for their next outing and will be eager to use it to their advantage. With 12 wins in 30 games, they are in eighth place on the league table.

The Blues have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after their dominating loss against PSG despite being at home. They were outplayed by Newcastle United in their last Premier League outing due to their underwhelming effort. Chelsea FC will now be looking to come back to winning ways, but it is going to be a tough outing for them.
