Premier League Odds: Chelsea Seeks to Extend Lead against Everton

Stamford Bridge is the venue for today's Premier League meeting between home team Chelsea and Everton (19:45 UK time).

Chelsea Looking to Extend Lead

Currently leading the table only 7 points away from Manchester City with 56 points, Chelsea will look to cement its lead with three more points today. The Blues managed to beat Aston Villa 1-2 away from home in Saturday, while Manchester City went on another 1-1 draw after their similar score with Chelsea a fortnight ago.

Fans will be especially excited to welcome Cesc Fabregas who's expected to begin in today's starting line-up, something that will help the absence of the banned Diego Costa. In goalscorer bets, look for Eden Hazard who scored against Villa in Saturday's win, and Oscar who has 6 league goals this season and has proven to be very fruitful in Chelsea's offensives.

Everton to Defy History?

Everton is currently ranked 12th in the table, having experienced quite the momentum loss through mid-December to mid-January with a sequence of losses and draws. Everton's only league win was an away victory over Crystal Palace almost two weeks ago.

November 1994 was the last time when Everton emerged victorious on the grass of Stamford Bridge, but they'll look to continue from where Bradford City left off and shock the Blues at their home and defy history as well. One player whose performance will be really interesting for Everton is Romelu Lukaku, the young Belgian striker who left Chelsea for Everton last summer. Lukaku has been doing well in his new home, scoring 7 league goals in total.
