The Blues are on the right track to overtake Liverpool in top position in the standings.

ATS and Prop Picks for Everton vs. Chelsea

Bet on Blues to Cover Spread (-139)

Chelsea’s 5-1 thrashing of Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday extended their winning streak in all competitions to eight matches, a run that has seen them plunder 26 goals.

Enzo Maresca has an embarrassment of riches to choose from in the attacking department, with the likes of Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, Jadon Sancho, Pedro Neto and more.

Per Everton vs Chelsea stats, the Toffees have scored just 14 times in the league, leaving only Southampton below them in that department, but nine of those have come at Goodison Park including four in the thrashing of Wolves in their last home outing.

Chelsea is by far the better side at the moment and should be able to win this game with ease. If you’re looking for solid value in your Premier League soccer pick, you should back Chelsea to cover the spread.

Bet This Pick: Chelsea -1 (-139)

Player Prop Bet: Cole Palmer to Score (+130)

Chelsea’s standout player has undoubtedly been England international Palmer, who has 11 top-flight goals this season.

The 22-year-old, who wasn’t named in the UEFA Conference League squad for the League Phase, has netted four times in his last four appearances and he will be relishing the chance to go up against the Toffees.

If you’re looking for a great soccer player prop pick, back Cole Palmer to score at least one time against Everton.

Bet This Pick: Cole Palmer to Score (+130)
