ShareThe Toffess look to continue their unbeaten run with Chelsea the visitors to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.By Matt SmithThey face a Chelsea side that have struggled on the road against Everton in recent years, winning just once since 2017. Xabi Alonso’s men have been one of the most exciting teams to watch so far this season, conceding and scoring goals for fun. No side has conceded more goals than Chelsea so far this season, but only Brighton and Manchester City have scored more. Everton are at the opposite end of the spectrum, scoring few but conceding even less.Team newsDavid Moyes confirmed in his press conference that Vitalii Mykolenko has a chance of being available for this game. The left-back missed Everton’s draw against Hull City last time out, but he could be back for this one.Jarrad Branthwaite has also been dealing with a problem, but it’s unclear if he’ll be ruled out.Chelsea confirmed this week that Reece James is set for an extended period on the sidelines. The England international has undergone knee surgery and could be out for a few months.Jamie Gittens and Emmanuel Emegha remain sidelined. Everton struggling to convertEverton’s draw with Hull City was a disappointing one for Moyes, mainly due to the number of chances they failed to convert. Although Thierno Barry did find the back of the net, he could have undoubtedly scored more, and missed chances have been the tale of Everton’s season so far.In fact, only Nottingham Forest have missed more big chances in the Premier League so far this season. The Toffees have found the back of the net on just eight occasions, but there’s no doubt they could have scored more.Chelsea struggling defensivelyChelsea’s attacking prowess is no secret. Alonso is getting a real tune out of Chelsea trio Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and João Pedro, but they are being somewhat let down by their leaky defence.The London club have conceded 10.2 xG so far this season, which isn’t at the level they’d expect if they want to be pushing for the Champions League places. They were much improved last time out against Bournemouth, so Alonso will be hoping that they’ve turned a corner.João Pedro the jewel in the crownThe performances of Brazilian striker João Pedro have gone to another level this season. The help of Rogers and Palmer behind him have undoubtedly aided his performance levels, but he’s looking like more of a complete striker this campaign. Everton will have to get a hold of him if they want to pick up a result against Chelsea this weekend. Even if the former Brighton man isn’t firing, Alonso has Rogers and Palmer, who are a constant threat, sitting behind him. PredictionIt feels like a game where there’s going to be plenty of goals. We’re going for a 3-2 victory to Chelsea.(Cover image from IMAGO)You can follow every game from LaLiga with FotMob — featuring deep stats coverage, xG, physical metrics, and player ratings.
