Predictions
Chelsea head into the weekend on the back of a rough spell — several games without a win and, arguably, without a convincing performance. Spirits need lifting and momentum needs shifting, but tomorrow’s test at Stamford Bridge is anything but straightforward. Everton arrive in strong form, well-drilled, physical, and fully prepared to make life difficult for the Blues.
Chalobah: “We have to come together”
After the midweek defeat to Atalanta in the Champions League, fan favourite Trevoh Chalobah stepped forward with a message of resilience and responsibility.
“We have another opportunity and we can’t just let it slip by. We have to come together in this difficult time and try to pull through,” he told the club’s official website, further cementing his growing leadership role in the squad.

Reflecting on what Chelsea should expect on Sunday, Chalobah added:
“We have to expect the same things we have seen in the last two Premier League games with Leeds away and Bournemouth away. The physicality will be the same and it is down to those final details.
“We know it will be a fight and in every game we have to show that fight, that intensity and go and win our duels. We will be at home and we have to use our home advantage to try to get the win.”
Home advantage could be the key
Playing at Stamford Bridge gives Chelsea both opportunity and pressure. Everton will likely sit deep, defend as a unit and wait for mistakes — exactly the kind of setup that has troubled Chelsea this season. But home support and familiarity could help tilt the game.
The biggest positive? Cole Palmer is back. His creativity, movement and ability to unlock compact defences might just provide the spark Chelsea have been missing.
A win won’t fix everything, but it would stop the slide and give this team something to build on. With confidence shaken, injuries piling up and form dipping, tomorrow’s match feels like a turning point — one way or the other.
