Ahead of the 16th game of the Premier League season, the Blues are fifth with 25 points, eight points behind leaders Arsenal and one point off fourth place. Only three points separate the Blues and Newcastle United in 12th place, while Everton are seventh with 24 points.

Head-to-head

Chelsea are unbeaten in our past 30 Premier League home games against Everton (17 wins, 13 draws). It is our longest run without defeat against an opponent at Stamford Bridge in our top-flight history. Our previous record was 27, set against Tottenham Hotspur between 1990 and 2018.

The Toffees' run of 30 games without a win is their longest away at another club in the Premier League. Only against Leeds United (36 between 1953 and 2001) have they had a longer away run without a win in their top-flight history.

Everton have failed to score in 27 Premier League matches versus Chelsea, including the last three. They have more scoreless games only against Manchester United and Liverpool, with 28 each.

The last occasion Everton came away from the Bridge with a league win was in November 1994, when Glenn Hoddle was our manager. Paul Rideout scored the only goal for the Toffees, who were in the bottom three at the time.

Chelsea have scored 303 goals against the Merseyside club in all competitions, 21 more than we have managed against any other side (Tottenham are second, 282).

Chelsea stats

This is a game between the club with the youngest average starting XI in the Premier League so far this season (Chelsea - 24 years, 186 days) and the one with the oldest (Everton - 28 years, 126 days).

Chelsea have lost two of our last 17 Premier League home games (11 wins, four draws). The Blues’ next home league win (if it comes in the next three games) will be our 12th of 2025. We last beat that figure in a calendar year in 2017 (16).

However, we currently have the 14th best home record in the Premier League this season, with 11 points from seven games.

Chelsea have yet to win a Premier League game this season kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday. We drew at Bournemouth last week and lost at home to both Brighton & Hove Albion and Sunderland.

The Blues have not won in three Premier League matches (two draws, one loss), following five wins and one defeat in the six previous games. Our only longer winless streak under Enzo Maresca was a five-game run last December and January.

Only Arsenal (nine) and Crystal Palace (12) have conceded fewer Premier League goals than the Blues (15).

We have not lost any of our last eight home Premier League games having played away in Europe in midweek (six wins, two draws), since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in April 2023.

Last weekend, Bournemouth ended our run of scoring at least one goal in each of our previous 20 games across all competitions.

Only Arsenal’s David Raya (eight) has kept more Premier League clean sheets this term than Robert Sanchez (seven).

We have had 14 players sent off against Everton, more than against any other club in our history. Diego Costa was the most recent, in 2016, while the last Toffee to see red in this fixture was David Unsworth in 2002.
