“Long may that continue. Especially in these final stages of the season, we’re going to go to some tough places – that character and bond we’ve got has to be there."@BenG0dfrey. 💙
Chelsea currently standing 4th in the league table has 47 points from 27 matches, while Everton standing 5th in the league table has 46 points from 26 matches. If they lose, Chelsea will be evicted by their opponent.
At the first meeting in the Premier League this season, in week 12, Chelsea lost by Everton with a 0-1 score-line. Everton's only goal was scored by Gylfi Sigurdsson from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute.
This time, with Tuchel, Chelsea is certainly aiming for better results.
