Everton, on the other hand,d have struggled in the final third, producing 0.23 expected goals from one tame effort. According to Opta's live win probability calculator, Chelsea have an 80.9% chance of winning from here, with a draw at 14.6% and an Everton victory at 4.5%. Maresca will be happy with what he's seen from his side, but Moyes will be the opposite. It wouldn't be a surprise to see some early Everton changes. Could we see McNeil, Alcaraz, or Chermiti shortly after the break as the Toffees chase an equaliser?
Chelsea vs Everton
13:29At halftime, Chelsea leads Everton 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, which isn’t looking good for the away team. The managers’ expressions likely reveal Maresca’s satisfaction versus the concern on Everton’s side. During one key moment, Cucurella had an excellent opportunity after Pickford misplayed a clearance right to him within scoring distance, yet missed the shot. Following this near-miss, when Pickford attempted another move by passing to Beto, the forward couldn’t control it properly, giving Chelsea possession again. Enzo then set up Jackson who maneuvered skillfully around his marker before delivering a precise long-range strike past Pickford. Despite Chelsea dominating play, their performance hasn't reached peak form just yet; nonetheless, they're ahead going into the locker rooms.

Chelsea vs Everton
12:05Everton has experienced a lengthy winless streak away from home against just Leeds United (with 36 matches spanning from 1953 to 2001) compared to their ongoing stretch without a victory at Chelsea, which currently stands at 29 fixtures (including 13 draws and 16 losses). Since David Moyes returned as manager, his team initially struggled but managed three wins out of ten Premier League games (alongside five draws); however, they’ve faltered recently, suffering two defeats in their past four outings (while winning once and drawing another match). In their most recent league encounters, Everton secured victories in merely one out of every eight contests (adding up to five draws and two additional losses), with the sole triumph occurring during injury time at Nottingham Forest. This campaign marks Everton’s highest tally of draws across all teams in the Premier League so far this year (totaling fourteen ties), matching their previous record set back in the 2012–2013 season when they drew fifteen times.
Chelsea vs Everton
12:05Chelsea have not lost in their past 29 Premier League matches played at home against Everton since suffering a 1-0 defeat back in November 1994 (with W16 D13). This makes it the team's most extended period of being undefeated at home versus one particular opponent throughout their league history. Under Enzo Maresca’s guidance, they lead all teams with the greatest number of shots taken each match when playing at home this season (averaging 18.8 attempts). Notably, this figure stands as their peak rate at Stamford Bridge for a singular term since the 2013–14 campaign where they averaged 19.6 efforts. The club has remained undefeated across their latest quartet of Premier League fixtures (including victories worth two wins and draws adding up to two ties), managing comebacks after trailing during halftime—most recently achieving such outcomes through tied encounters ending 2-2 against Ipswich followed by winning 2-1 over Fulham.
