A big game at the top end of the Premier League table takes place on Monday night when Chelsea host Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Both teams are hoping to land Champions League action for next term, but it’s the home side who have fourth place at present after leapfrogging Everton in midweek having won at another Merseyside club, 1-0 at Liverpool - though Carlo Ancelotti’s team do still have a game in hand.

A win in this game would go a long way toward assuring themselves of that, as continuing the unbeaten run as well as stopping a rival getting three points would be a huge double bonus for Chelsea. Everton have won three in a row, though, so it’ll be far from easy for either side to emerge victorious.

Prediction
