6th August 2022 – 18:30, Goodison Park, Liverpool
Everton and Chelsea will close Saturday’s action in the Premier League first round. The home side searches for a safe mid-table finish at the end of the campaign, while the visitors want to enter the title race this time.
Everton Preview & Team News
Everton managed to keep its head above the water last time, but another tough season awaits the hosts. They cannot count on Richarlison anymore, who joined Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window. The Toffees raised their form during the pre-season, beating Blackpool and Dynamo Kyiv in the two most recent matches. In the new season, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is expected to show that he is a real leader. It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Everton manager Frank Lampard to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Yerry Mina (Hamstring Injury) will not play.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea has the ambition to enter the title race, despite not being among the biggest favorites according to the Premier League 2022/23 outright predictions. The Blues have been very active in the transfer window, securing some excellent additions to their squad. Raheem Sterling joined from Manchester City, while Kalidou Koulibaly strengthened the defensive block. Chelsea continued a spending spree with Marc Cucurella’s signing, making the Spanish international the most expensive left-back. Now, it is on Thomas Tuchel to incorporate the new players into his system, and a trip to Liverpool is a good test at the start of the season.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Chelsea is a firm favorite in this match, and they have more squad depth to return home with all three points. Although the Blues lost four times in a row at Goodison Park, we believe they will win and open the new campaign successfully.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head-to-head clashes in Liverpool haven’t been very efficient, and we believe this one should follow the same pattern. Therefore, the crowd shouldn’t see more than two goals in total.
