In a weekend match on Sat Aug 6th, in week 1, Everton will host Chelsea in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Everton has not played yet this season, while 6th placed Chelsea is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Liverpool. Neither Chelsea nor Liverpool could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 7 and 22 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Chelsea should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Everton won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Romelu Lukaku has been the most effective weapon for Chelsea lately. The attacker has netted three goals in his last five matches. Dele Alli has been the most effective weapon for Everton lately. The English midfielder has netted 2 goals in his last five matches.
