Everton are looking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since the 1978-79 campaign, when the Blues finished bottom of the top-flight with just five wins from 42 games.
Everton are looking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since the 1978-79 campaign, when the Blues finished bottom of the top-flight with just five wins from 42 games.
Chelsea have won 10 of their last 14 PL matches played on Mondays, and are
unbeaten in their four such matches this season (3 wins + 1 draw)
Chelsea’s Édouard Mendy has kept six clean sheets in his first 10 home Premier League starts, the most by a goalkeeper in their first 10 home starts since Alisson kept seven for Liverpool at Anfield in 2018. The only Chelsea goalkeeper with more Premier League clean sheets in their first 10 starts at Stamford Bridge is Petr Cech (8).
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel could become the first manager in Premier League history to see his side keep a clean sheet in each of his first five home games in charge in the competition. Meanwhile, the Blues are looking to keep five consecutive home league clean sheets for the first time since January 2015.

Everton have scored 53 own goals in the Premier League, seven more than any other side in the competition’s history. Oops.
Andreas Christensen made more ball recoveries (7) than any other player on the pitch in the first half against Everton.
Looking better every week under Thomas Tuchel.
100% - Only James Milner in 2016-17 (7/7) has scored more goals in a single Premier League season with all of them coming from the penalty spot than Jorginho this term (6/6). Specialists.
Games lost: 0
Goals conceded at home: 0
Thomas Tuchel is still unbeaten as Chelsea manager and does not look like losing any time soon.

Thomas Tuchel’s unbeaten start to life at Chelsea continues.
Thomas Tuchel becomes the first manager in Premier League history to keep clean sheets in his first five home games!
They shall not pass
7 - Since Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge of Chelsea (27th Jan 2021), no goalkeeper playing for a top five European league side has kept more clean sheets in all competitions than Edouard Mendy (7). Reliable.

100% take-ons completed
53 touches
5 touches in opp. box (most)
5 duels won
2 shots
2 aerial duels won

Two first half goals is enough for all three points for the Hammers.
