As the anticipation builds for Monday’s game between Chelsea and Everton, several key facts and figures stand out. Chelsea has gone unbeaten in their last 28 Premier League home games against Everton since a 1-0 loss in November 1994, marking their longest unbeaten home run against a top-flight team in their history. Meanwhile, Everton is seeking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since the 1978-79 season following their 2-0 win at Goodison Park in December.
In recent form, Chelsea has been scoring and conceding at least twice in each of their last seven matches in all competitions. This feat marks the first time that any top-flight side in English football history has achieved this feat in eight consecutive games. On the other hand, Everton ended a 13-game winless run in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory against Burnley in their last outing. Their last five league wins have been to nil, but they have struggled to win matches when conceding at least one goal in their last 12 games.
One player who has been instrumental in Chelsea’s recent success is Cole Palmer, who has been contributing to an outstanding form. In his last 22 Premier League games for Chelsea, he has scored 16 goals and provided nine assists. With just one more assist needed, Palmer could become the first Chelsea player to reach double digits for both goals and assists in his debut Premier League season with the club.
On the other hand, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been struggling lately after an 18-game goal drought in the Premier League. However, he has recently found form by scoring twice including the winning goals that earned Everton three points against Burnley on New Year’s Day. He last scored three consecutive league goals back August 2021.
Overall, Monday’s game promises to be an exciting matchup between two talented teams with significant streaks of form on their side.
