Under-Pressure Chelsea Determined To Reclaim Winning Form Against Stubborn Everton
The Chelsea vs Everton match should be full of entertainment because the pressure is really on the Blues to get a big Premier League win because of their recent slump in form. The Blues are now winless in their last four competitive matches, and they’ve also lost two of their last three matches as the pressure mounts on Enzo Maresca.
They face off against a wily Everton side that has won four of their previous five Premier League matches, including winning their last two away matches in the league.
The Toffees have maintained a strong defensive structure for the majority of their last five games, and they hope to maintain that against a shaky Chelsea side. Chelsea hold the advantage in their recent matches against Everton, having won two of their previous three matches against the Toffees, who look to end that record with a big win over the Blues.
Can Cole Palmer Reignite His Spark Against Everton?
Cole Palmer might not have featured in Chelsea’s recent loss to Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League, but he’s fully fit and is raring for a ruthless performance in the Premier League to reinvigorate himself. The 23-year-old has only scored one goal in five Premier League matches so far in the 2025/26 season, but he has a pretty fond history of playing against Everton.
Who can forget how Palmer was able to score four goals in Chelsea’s 6-0 thrashing of Everton in the 2023/24 Premier League campaign?
Palmer will, however, tap into his clinical best to be able to torment the Toffees in the upcoming match. He will need to be smart with his link-up play and creating big chances for his side, but he’ll also look to get into the crucial positions in the final third to be able to enhance his chances of scoring a clutch goal and helping his side get back to winning ways.

Is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Going To Come Back To Haunt Chelsea?
The Chelsea vs Everton clash will also mark the first time that Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall gets to play against his former side. He joined Everton from the Blues in the 2025 summer window and has settled in really nicely in David Moyes side.
It’ll now be upon Dewsbury-Hall to prove Chelsea wrong by producing an influential performance against Chelsea to outwit them at Stamford Bridge. The 27-year-old has already scored four goals and provided two assists in 14 Premier League games this season, but he needs to bring out his very best against Chelsea.
Dewsbury-Hall has an idea about the strengths and weaknesses of many Chelsea players, which he’ll look to use to his advantage to get into the empty spaces in the final third and finish off chances efficiently.
