Everton vs Chelsea (2-0)

Everton’s dismay continuing last weekend as their defensive frailties were all over again the highlight of the occasion.

They visited the urban center, and despite going 2-0 up within the half, they utterly fell apart within the closing stages of the sport yielding three goals in twenty minutes to lose at St James’ Park.

The stark distinction to their strong show against Merseyside rivals Liverpool the week before however, the Toffees’ fans have hardly been strangers to defensive collapses underneath Marco timberland.

Their assaultive play is usually pleasing; however, results at Everton merely haven’t been up to straightforward. They need won just four of their last seventeen Premier League matches and notice themselves in a common eleventh place within the table.

They’re currently seven points adrift of seventh place Wolves. Therefore it’s trying more and more unlikely that they’ll shoulder their manner into continental action next season.

Chelsea isn’t having the most straightforward time either. Maurizio Sarri looked the significant deal once he arrived within the Premier League this summer, however, six months on he typically cuts a sad and annoyed figure on the sideline.

The Blues may solely manage a final gasp equalizer reception to Wolves last weekend, and despite doing well within the Europa League, they need individually won 3 of their last seven league matches.
