Unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions, Everton continue their steady start to the campaign with the visit of an entertaining Chelsea to the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Premier League.

David Moyes’ side didn’t have the best summer transfer window and it has left them with a small squad, but the Toffees are continuing to be competitive with two wins and four draws in their six league games thus far.

Up against this season’s surprise package Hull City last week, Everton went behind before going ahead in the second half, only to be pegged back by the Tigers once again in a 2-2 draw at the MKM Stadium.

Jordan Henderson and Joao Pedro both scored braces as Chelsea hammered a still winless but previously very competitive Bournemouth side 5-1 at Stamford Bridge last week.

That was a much-needed and emphatic victory for the Blues after Xabi Alonso’s side had underwhelmed following a bright start with defensive chaos undermining their stellar play going forward.

Everton vs. Chelsea prediction

We think another draw involving Everton may well beckon here.

They may not be the most energetic of teams to exploit Chelsea’s defensive weaknesses but, from set-pieces and occasionally in transition, they should still get at the porous back line of the visitors.

Chelsea showed a bit more control and maturity last week but still conceded a goal that threatened a Bournemouth comeback early on in the second half and they will once again be expected to be entertainers on Merseyside.

Score Prediction: Everton 2-2 Chelsea (+1200 at bet365)

Everton vs. Chelsea best bets

We’ve picked four betting angles for Everton vs. Chelsea.

Across all competitions, Chelsea’s eight matches have consisted of 39 goals with only two teams having scored more than them in the league and no side having conceded more.

Everton themselves have not been as reactive as previous Moyes-coached sides with both teams scoring in three of five games in the league since defeating Crystal Palace on the opening day.

Back in improved form this season, England international Cole Palmer got himself another assist last week but, like the others in their front three of Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, he will be keen to get on the scoresheet, too.

By hook or by crook, Thierno Barry having a shot on target in each game is a good bet given Everton’s reliance on their only recognised first-team striker, and there should be chances given how open Chelsea have been defensively this season.

Combative in the middle of the park, Harrison Armstrong will be tasked with disrupting the likes of Palmer, Rogers and Joao Pedro, and so backing the hosts’ academy graduate to commit a couple of fouls to break up the play seems a decent shout.

Here is our favorite SGP for Everton vs. Chelsea:
