Chelsea need to win against Everton tonight to keep their hopes of European qualification through Premier League finish alive.
Only days after the drama of what felt like a hugely important win for Mauricio Pochettino over Manchester United, the Blues imploded at Sheffield United and left with only a draw.
It sums up the inconsistent nature of Pochettino’s first campaign in charge and can perhaps be blamed on the youth in his squad.
Still, at some point, they will need to prove they can string results and performances together. Patience is a virtue but it only lasts so long.
Fail to beat an Everton side on a dreadful run of form – albeit perhaps one galvanised by their latest points deduction – at home and yet more questions will be asked.
Chelsea vs Everton is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time later today on Monday, April 15, 2024.
Stamford Bridge in London will host.

It’s difficult to predict Chelsea right now but they will surely have too much firepower for this Everton team.
