1. Home dominance in recent clashes
Last season’s Premier League meetings were both won by the home side. Everton secured a 2-0 win at Goodison Park in December 2023, with goals from Abdoulaye Doucouré and Lewis Dobbin. Chelsea responded with a dominant 6-0 victory at Stamford Bridge in April 2024, including four goals from Cole Palmer.
2. Chelsea’s struggles at Goodison Park

3. Everton’s unbeaten home streak
Everton are unbeaten in five consecutive Premier League home games (W2-D3) under Sean Dyche, equaling their longest streak during his tenure. Their last longer unbeaten run at Goodison was an 11-game stretch from December 2019 to July 2020, under Duncan Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti.
