Premier League leaders Chelsea 1/3 to win against struggling Everton tonight

Competition: Premier League
Market: Chelsea to win against Everton
Odds: 1/3 @ 888 Sport

Chelsea host Everton tonight, with the Londoners looking to potentially extend their lead at the summit if second-placed Manchester City drop points in their respective trip to Stoke City. Jose Mourinho’s men have overcome a mini-slump of form that saw them drop points too frequently away from home to Sunderland, Newcastle, Southampton and Tottenham, and are now looking to get back to winning ways at Stamford Bridge.

Everton have been a difficult opposition for Chelsea in the past, and played their part in an enthralling nine-goal thriller at Goodison Park earlier in the campaign – ultimately losing 6-3 – but their record against top-half sides this season is poor. Manager Roberto Martinez just hasn’t been able to get the best from his crop of players, and November’s home win over West Ham is the only victory against a top-10 side this season.

As a result, 888 Sport are giving odds of 1/3 for Chelsea to pick up all three points against their Merseyside opponents at Stamford Bridge. Everton have only won once in eight games too, so it would be a big ask to get a result on the road to top of the table.
