Chelsea won five of their final seven away games in the league last season, and four of those wins were by two or more goals.
Raheem Sterling will play in a central role for the visitors and he was on target during pre-season.
Everton have lost Richarlison, who finished last season as their top scorer.
Tough opener for Everton,Everton entertain Chelsea in the late Premier League kick off on Saturday as Frank Lampard comes up against his former club.Lampard guided Everton to a 1-0 win over Chelsea at this venue in May last season as they battled against the drop. The Merseyside outfit will be hoping for a better campaign this time around, but they have been handed an incredibly tricky start against a new-look Chelsea outfit.Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly have both made the move to Stamford Bridge and are expected to make their official debuts. Everton have brought in James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil from Burnley, but begin life without last season’s top scorer Richarlison after his switch to Tottenham.

Chelsea looking for opening day hat-trick

Chelsea made a strong start last season with 13 points from the first 15 available as they kicked off the campaign with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace. They also won their opener the previous year, seeing off Brighton 3-1 on the road.

Thomas Tuchel’s men have had a mixed pre-season, but I’m expecting them to come out all guns blazing at Goodison but at 8/13 a straightforward away win doesn’t offer a great deal of value.

Instead, it could be worth being bold and backing the visitors with a -1 handicap. Everton did finish last season fairly strongly at home, winning four of their final six games at Goodison, but they were fighting for survival at that point.

Chelsea were strong on their travels at the end of the previous campaign as they won five of their final seven away games in the league, and four of those wins were by two or more goals.

Sterling can hit the ground running

上赛季，切尔西在最后7场客场比赛中赢得了5场胜利，其中4场胜利是在2球或2球以上的情况下取得的。
斯特林将在客队中扮演核心角色，他在季前赛中就达到了目标。
埃弗顿失去了理查德森，上赛季他是埃弗顿的最佳射手。
埃弗顿的首场比赛是艰难的，埃弗顿在周六的英超比赛中招待了切尔西，兰帕德将对阵他的老东家。上赛季5月，在兰帕德的带领下，埃弗顿1-0战胜了切尔西。这支默西塞德郡的球队希望这次能有一个更好的表现，但他们面对的是一个难以置信的棘手的开局，面对的是一个全新的切尔西球队。斯特林和库利巴利都已转会斯坦福桥，并有望正式亮相。埃弗顿从伯恩利引进了詹姆斯·塔可夫斯基和德怀特·麦克尼尔，但在上赛季的头号射手理查德森转会到热刺后，埃弗顿就失去了他。

切尔西期待在开幕日上演帽子戏法

切尔西上赛季开局很好，在3-0战胜水晶宫的比赛中拿到了15分中的13分。他们也赢得了他们的首场比赛，在客场3-1击败布莱顿。

托马斯-图赫尔的球队在季前赛中表现得好坏参半，但我希望他们能在古迪逊面前使出浑身解数，但在8/13的情况下，一场直接的客场胜利并不能带来多大的价值。

相反，以-1的不利条件支持客队是值得的。上赛季埃弗顿确实在主场取得了不错的成绩，在古迪逊球场的最后6场比赛中赢了4场，但那时他们正在为生存而战。

切尔西在上个赛季的客场比赛中表现强劲，他们在联赛最后7场客场比赛中赢了5场，其中4场是在2球或2球以上的情况下获胜。

斯特林可以马上开始工作

图赫尔希望让斯特林成为切尔西的核心球员
