Champions To Get The Job Done

Everton have enjoyed a fine start to the season having gone unbeaten in all competitions so far. What might have gone somewhat under the radar is that this success has been built on defensive resilience have only conceded twice in six outings.

That all their games have produced under 2.5 goals informs our bet for their next challenge, at the champions. We’re backing Chelsea to win and under 2.5 goals in the match at a best price of 11/4 with Ladbrokes.

This encounter comes at a bad time for the Toffees hot on the heels of a European excursion to Croatia, and that just three days after a tiring evening at the Etihad.

Rooney played 90 minutes in both and it’s a huge ask to expect him to put in another goalscoring shift.

Antonio Conte’s boys rediscovered their mojo at Wembley last weekend and we should expect another professional performance here without any real thrills.
