Chelsea vs Everton: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Chelsea vs Everton in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Chelsea vs Everton

• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five games. They'll be looking to bounce back from that disappointing defeat against Leeds United, and with a strong lineup featuring the likes of Reece James and Enzo Fernández, they should have the firepower to challenge Everton. However, they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal after failing to score in their last outing.

Everton, on the other hand, have been in fine fettle, winning four out of their last five matches. They'll be confident heading into this game, especially with Jack Grealish pulling the strings in midfield. But they'll need to be wary of Chelsea's attacking threat, particularly from Marc Guiu. This could be a tight affair, but Everton's recent form might just give them the edge.

Match Prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Everton

Chelsea's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five games. They've struggled to find the back of the net in their last two matches, drawing 0-0 with AFC Bournemouth and losing 1-3 to Leeds United. However, they did manage to secure back-to-back wins against Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers before that, which should give them some confidence heading into this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Leeds United (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Arsenal (H)
• Win: 2-0 vs Burnley (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)

Everton have been in excellent form, winning four out of their last five games. Their only loss came against Newcastle United, but they've bounced back well with convincing victories over Nottingham Forest and Fulham. With such strong recent results, Everton will be full of confidence and momentum going into this match against Chelsea.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Newcastle United (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Manchester United (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Fulham (H)

The head-to-head record between Chelsea and Everton has been mixed recently. Chelsea secured a 1-0 victory in their most recent encounter on 26 April 2025, but before that, the teams played out a 0-0 draw on 22 December 2024. Earlier in the season, Chelsea thrashed Everton 6-0, but Everton had previously won 2-0 and drawn 2-2 in their last two meetings before that. This suggests that while Chelsea have had the upper hand recently, Everton are capable of causing an upset.

• Predicted lineup: Sánchez (GK), Gusto (DF), Chalobah (DF), Fofana (DF), Cucurella (DF), James (MF), Fernández (MF), Neto (MF), Palmer (MF), Garnacho (MF), Guiu (AT)

Chelsea are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Robert Sánchez in goal and a back four of Cucurella, Chalobah, Gusto, and Fofana. In midfield, James and Fernández will provide the base, allowing Palmer, Neto, and Garnacho to push forward and support the lone striker, Guiu.

• Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), O'Brien (DF), Keane (DF), Tarkowski (DF), Mykolenko (DF), Garner (MF), Dewsbury-Hall (MF), Ndiaye (MF), Alcaraz (MF), Grealish (MF), Barry (AT)

Everton will likely deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jordan Pickford between the sticks and a defensive line of Keane, Tarkowski, O'Brien, and Mykolenko. The midfield will be anchored by Dewsbury-Hall and Garner, with Ndiaye, Grealish, and Alcaraz playing more advanced roles behind the lone striker, Barry.

• Guiu vs Tarkowski: Marc Guiu's movement and energy will be a real test for James Tarkowski's defensive nous.

• James vs Garner: Reece James' creativity and passing range will be crucial against James Garner's tenacity in midfield.

• Palmer (Chelsea): Cole Palmer's ability to unlock defences with his vision and passing will be key for Chelsea.

• Grealish (Everton): Jack Grealish's control and creativity in midfield will be vital for Everton's attacking play.
