In the last Premier League round, Everton lost 0-2 away to Arsenal, ending their two consecutive league wins; Chelsea lost 0-1 at home to Newcastle, with only one win in the last five rounds, and suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Paris in the midweek Champions League, resulting in elimination.

Second:Toffees' strong defensive capabilities could secure home victory against Blues! Everton's home performance is robust, with considerable defensive strength. Conversely, Chelsea struggles against teams with high defensive intensity. Blues' new manager Roseneil has limited tactical expertise, and Chelsea faces a double-match week.

Recent consecutive defeats have significantly impacted Chelsea's morale, creating a somewhat subdued atmosphere within the team.
