Everton vs Chelsea Premier League Tips, Predictions & Odds

March 21, 2026 at 7:00 am GMT+0

With the season entering its final stretch and only eight fixtures remaining, Everton begin the round sitting in the Premier League’s top eight — a position that should be enough to secure European football next term. 

However, last weekend’s 2-0 defeat away to leaders Arsenal trimmed their advantage in that spot to a single point.

They’ll be keen to steady the ship against another high-calibre opponent, though results against the league’s stronger sides at their new ground have been underwhelming. 

The Toffees are still searching for a first home league win against any team starting this round inside the top ten.

Chelsea arrive at what could be an opportune moment for Everton. The visitors are reeling from a heavy 3-0 home defeat to PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday, a result that confirmed an 8-2 aggregate exit. That loss means they’ve managed just one win in 90 minutes across their last seven competitive matches, with their last three all ending in defeat.

Form like that has seen them slip to just outside the top five, and the pressure is beginning to build on manager Liam Rosenior. 

Defensive issues remain a major concern too, with Chelsea now eight Premier League games without a clean sheet.

Let’s take a look at the best football betting tips for Saturday night’s Premier League fixture on Merseyside.

Everton vs Chelsea Tips

Here are our top three betting tips and the best free bets ahead of the game on Saturday evening.

Tip 1: Everton to win

Chelsea look on the verge of another meltdown.

After losses in big games to Arsenal, Newcastle and PSG across three competitions over the last few weeks, question marks are hanging over the head of Liam Rosenior already.

The young English manager talks a good game, but is already to see the Chelsea faithful turning against him.

A loss on Merseyside would see them on the back foot for a return to next season’s Champions League, and with defensive issues and injuries galore we expect Everton to enjoy lots of success after a week’s rest.

Tip 2: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to score anytime

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall left Chelsea in the summer and has fast become one of Everton’s best players.

With Jack Grealish out injured for the rest of the season, the job of providing some creative industry has fallen on KDH and he’s revelling in the chance.

He has scored or assisted in Everton’s last three victories and will have a point to prove against the Blues on Saturday night inside the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Tip 3: Everton 1+ Goals in Each Half; Everton 3+ Corners in Each Half and Chelsea 1+ Cards in Each Half

It would be a stretch to call Everton prolific in front of goal, but Chelsea’s defensive hang ups mean that a goal in each half is more than achievable for the Toffees.

We all know about Chelsea’s disciplinary issues this campaign, so that leg of this Bet Builder speaks for itself — so we might just be waiting on a slew of Everton corners.

It’s a long shot at 50/1 but if Chelsea take their meltdown to Merseyside then it could well roll in.
