Cole Palmer (Chelsea) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton)
Chelsea are aiming to end their four-match winless streak across all competitions, and with Everton's poor record at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have a good chance. Chelsea drew 0-0 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium last weekend, but they perform much better at home, where they have averaged 2.33 goals per game recently.
Chelsea will be without Liam Delap due to a shoulder injury, but Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana and Enzo Fernández are expected to feature despite having left the pitch early in the previous match against Atalanta. Fofana suffered an eye injury after being kicked in the face, but manager Maresca hopes he will be able to play.
Chelsea don't have many injury concerns, but this is Moses Caicedo's final game serving his suspension after receiving a direct red card in the draw against Arsenal. Without this talented defensive midfielder, Chelsea have also gone three games without a win (against Arsenal, Leeds, and Bournemouth). Experts also note Enzo Maresca's recurring pattern, as last year Chelsea also struggled with five winless games in December.
Conversely, Everton are looking to continue their run of two consecutive wins against Bournemouth (1-0) and Nottingham Forest (3-0). Everton are clearly flying high in the Premier League, having won 4 of their last 5 matches and kept clean sheets in all 4 of them. Former Chelsea player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is also shining, scoring 3 goals in Everton's last 4 matches.
However, Everton haven't beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League since 1994. And David Moyes hasn't won against Chelsea in 20 Premier League encounters (7 draws, 13 losses), so it's not difficult to predict Everton's inferiority at Stamford Bridge.
David Moyes' side may rely on their solid defense, but preventing Chelsea from scoring at Stamford Bridge is easier said than done. Everton average only 0.75 goals per game away from home. Jarrad Branthwaite, Merlin Rohl, and Seamus Coleman are all absent due to injury.
Consulting experts, everyone predicted a Chelsea win. Former manager Harry Redknapp, former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson, and even striker Chris Sutton all predicted a 2-1 scoreline, with only former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson choosing 2-0.
The clash between Chelsea and Everton will take place at 10 PM today, December 13th.
Prediction: Chelsea - Everton 1-0
