Chelsea test comes at wrong time for Everton

Everton are in the midst of a miserable run and their struggles are likely to continue at Chelsea on Thursday.

After a run of just one point from seven games it looked as if the Goodison club might be turning the corner when they beat Arsenal 2-1 earlier this month. However, they were brought back down to earth with a 3-1 loss at Crystal Palace and now face a Chelsea side who should be in buoyant mood after a last-gasp winner against Leeds last time out.

Injuries mourning for Everton

Rafael Benitez, facing a former club, is without key striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, defender Yerry Mina and the suspended Lucas Digne for the trip to Stamford Bridge and a few more names have been added to the injury list in the last few days. Richarlison looks set to miss out with a calf injury, Andros Townsend has a foot injury and Seamus Coleman is another conern, leaving Everton stretched for this clash in London.

In contrast, Chelsea have a few players hoping for recalls with former Everton striker Romelu Lukaku and Andreas Christensen pushing for recalls. N’Golo Kante is also closing in on a comeback but if he is deemed fit enough to feature on Thursday he is likely to be named among the substitutes.

Chelsea have had a bit of a blip lately but their form at Stamford Bridge has remained solid. Only Manchester City have denied them any points at home and they have three wins and two draws in five Premier League games since that defeat.

Everton’s away form has been poor for some time now and they have just one point to show from their last six league trips, with the Merseysiders winless in seven overall on their travels. Three of their five defeats have been by more than one goal so a Chelsea win with a -1 handicap stands out as our main bet.

对埃弗顿来说，切尔西的考验来得不是时候

埃弗顿目前的表现很糟糕，他们很可能在周四对阵切尔西的比赛中继续挣扎。

在7场比赛仅得1分的情况下，古迪逊俱乐部本月早些时候以2-1击败阿森纳，看起来可能会迎来转机。然而，他们在3-1负于水晶宫的比赛中回到了现实，现在面对的是切尔西，他们应该在上一场对阵利兹联的比赛中最后时刻的胜利后心情愉快。

受伤人员为埃弗顿哀悼

拉法贝尼特斯面对的是一家前俱乐部，他的主力前锋卡尔弗特-卢因，后卫米娜和被禁赛的卢卡斯迪格尼将缺席斯坦福桥的比赛，而在过去几天里，又有一些球员的伤病名单被添加进来。理查森可能会因为小腿受伤而缺席比赛，安德洛斯·汤森脚伤，谢默斯·科尔曼是另一个问题，这将使埃弗顿在这场伦敦的比赛中处于紧张状态。

相比之下，切尔西有一些球员希望被召回，前埃弗顿前锋罗梅卢·卢卡库和安德烈亚斯·克里斯滕森都希望被召回。恩戈洛-坎特也即将复出，但如果他被认为足够健康，可以参加周四的比赛，他很可能会被列入替补名单。

切尔西最近有点小波折，但他们在斯坦福桥的状态依然稳固。只有曼城在主场拒绝了他们任何一分，而在那场失利后，他们在五场英超比赛中三胜两平。

埃弗顿的客场状态已经很差了一段时间，他们在过去的六次联赛中只拿到一分，而默西塞德队在他们的七次联赛中都没有赢过。在他们的五场失利中，有三场是多进一球，所以如果切尔西以-1的比分获胜，我们的主要赌注就会出现。
