As the Premier League season progresses, Chelsea and Everton prepare to face off in their next match at Stamford Bridge. Ahead of Monday’s game, there are several key facts and figures worth noting.
Firstly, Chelsea has an impressive record of being unbeaten in their last 28 Premier League home games against Everton. This streak dates back to a 1-0 loss in November 1994, making it their longest unbeaten home run against a side in their top-flight history.
On the other hand, Everton is determined to complete their first league double over Chelsea since the 1978-79 season after their recent 2-0 win at Goodison Park in December. Chelsea has been involved in high-scoring matches recently, with both teams scoring at least twice in each of their last seven matches in all competitions. This is a record in English football history, as no top-flight side has achieved this in eight consecutive games before.
Everton broke a 13-game winless run in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory against Burnley in their last match. Their last five league wins have been clean sheets, but they have struggled to win when conceding at least once in their last 12 games.
Meanwhile, Cole Palmer has been instrumental for Chelsea this season, being involved in 25 goals in his last 22 Premier League games with 16 goals and nine assists. He is on the verge of becoming the first Chelsea player to reach double figures for both goals and assists in his first Premier League season with the club.
Lastly, Dominic Calvert-Lewin put an end to an 18-game goal drought by scoring twice for Everton against Burnley last week. These goals were crucial for Everton as they earned three points from the game.
Overall, both teams will be looking forward to what promises to be an exciting match between two of the biggest clubs in England’s top flight league.
