Chelsea vs Everton head to head

The last occasion Everton came away from the Bridge with a league win was in November 1994, when Glenn Hoddle was in charge, on the day the new North Stand (now Matthew Harding Stand) was opened for the first time. Paul Rideout notched the only goal for the Toffees who were in the bottom three at the time.Everton are seeking a first league double against Chelsea since 1978/79 when Gordon Lee was in charge. The last ex-Chelsea manager to achieve a top-flight double against the Blues was Dave Sexton in 1974/75 with QPR.Chelsea have scored 290 goals against the Toffees in all competitions, 24 more than against any other side.

The Blues have kept a clean sheet in six of our past nine Premier League meetings with Everton, losing each of the three games when we conceded.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side won the reverse fixture at Goodison Park in December by the only goal scored after 21 minutes by Gylfi Sigurdsson.
