Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea are back in the conversation for Europe. Sitting sixth with 57 points from 33 games, they’re just two points behind Newcastle and a win here would pile the pressure on the teams above them. Chelsea have been a force at Stamford Bridge this season, with 9 wins from 16 home games and just two losses. Offensively, they’ve been sharp — scoring in 94% of home matches and averaging almost 2 goals per game in London.Defensively, the Blues are solid too, having conceded only 40 goals all season — only three teams have done better. They’ve also managed 8 clean sheets in the campaign, including one in a dominant 6-0 win over Everton at home in the reverse fixture.

Expected Chelsea XI:

Sanchez – James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella – Enzo, Caicedo – Sancho, Palmer, Neto – Jackson

Everton have done the hard work already — with 38 points on the board, they’re well clear of the relegation zone. While their season won’t end in silverware or Europe, David Moyes has stabilized the club after a rocky start.The Toffees have lost just twice in their last six, and even earned points against Arsenal and Nottingham. But away from home, it’s been a grind — only 4 wins in 16 matches, and just 12 goals scored.Their defensive record, however, is respectable. They’ve conceded just 40 goals — tied with Chelsea — and have kept 10 clean sheets this campaign. Still, against a motivated Chelsea side, holding firm might be too tall an order.

Expected Everton XI:

Pickford – Patterson, O’Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko – Garner, Gueye – Harrison, Doucoure, Ndiaye – Beto

在恩佐·马雷斯卡的带领下，切尔西重返欧洲赛场。33场比赛积57分排名第六，他们只落后纽卡斯尔两分，如果在这里取胜，将会给他们前面的球队增加压力。切尔西本赛季在斯坦福桥表现出色，在16场主场比赛中取得9胜，仅输了2场。在进攻端，他们的表现非常犀利——94%的主场比赛都能进球，在伦敦的比赛中，他们场均进球接近2个。防守方面，蓝军也很稳固，整个赛季只丢了40个球——只有三支球队做得更好。他们在本赛季也有8次零封对手，其中包括主场6-0大胜埃弗顿的比赛。

预计切尔西11强：

桑切斯-詹姆斯，查洛巴，科尔威尔，库库雷拉-恩佐，凯塞多-桑乔，帕尔默，内托-杰克逊

埃弗顿已经付出了艰苦的努力——他们已经积了38分，完全脱离了降级区。虽然他们的赛季不会在奖杯或欧洲结束，大卫莫耶斯已经稳定了俱乐部在动荡的开局。太妃糖在过去的六场比赛中只输了两场，甚至在对阵阿森纳和诺丁汉的比赛中也获得了积分。但在客场，这是一场苦战——16场比赛只赢了4场，进了12个球。然而，他们的防守记录是值得尊敬的。他们只丢了40个球，和切尔西持平，并且本赛季保持了10次零封对手。尽管如此，面对斗志昂扬的切尔西，保持坚定可能是一项艰巨的任务。

预计埃弗顿11人：

皮克福德-帕特森，奥布莱恩，布兰斯韦特，米科连科-加纳，盖耶-哈里森，杜库尔，恩迪亚耶-贝托
