Totals - under 3.5 goals
After conducting my research and studying the Everton v Chelsea stats and trends available at Flashscore, I open with a bet on under 3.5 goals.
Visit the bet365 app, tap Football, Premier League, Everton v Chelsea, and then the totals. You can then select the odds attached to under 3.5 goals to add to your bet slip. You can add this one to your accumulators.
When taking this approach, you need Saturday evening's fixture to produce fewer than four goals from both teams combined. A 1-0 home win pays the same as a 3-0 victory for the visitors.
The final score and goal scorers aren't important; all you care about is the totals. A bet on under 3.5 goals landed in each of the previous three games involving these teams.
Digging deeper, under 3.5 goals was settled as a winning bet in eight of ten, a run stretching back to March 2021. Everton have won three and lost three of their last six under David Moyes.
The Toffees have played twice this month, with both games ending 2-0. Everton have played a dozen games in all competitions this year. Under 3.5 goals paid out ten times.
Tip: Under 3.5 goals @ 2/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Saturday evening's match must end with fewer than four goals scored.
Match winner - Chelsea
I'm taking you into the match-winner market for my second pick, advising a play on Chelsea to score another away win.
Victory would hand the Blues three vital points, improving their chances of ending in the top four and securing Champions League football. Our pick has already won at Selhurst Park, Molineux, and Villa Park in the league so far this year.
Despite pushing for a spot in the top four, Chelsea's recent form shows they've won only two of six games, drawn a couple, and lost the others.
That's a tad concerning, but Everton's stats aren't much better. The hosts have won three and lost three, suffering defeat in three of their last five. Chelsea also beat Everton by two goals in London late in 2025.
Followers of the form will be delighted to learn that Chelsea haven't lost to Everton since December 2023, a run of four games. In that time, we see an aggregate score of Chelsea 9-0 Everton.
That's just too strong to ignore. More than two years without a win or even a goal against Chelsea make the home team easy to oppose. Back the away win.
Tip: Chelsea win @ 1/1 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Chelsea beat Everton, you beat the bookies.
Anytime scorer - Palmer
The final Everton v Chelsea bet I wanted to flag up comes with the highest odds of the three. I'm taking a chance on Chelsea forward Cole Palmer scoring.
It doesn't matter if Chelsea thrash Everton, followers enjoy a high-scoring draw, or the locals capture an upset win. As long as Palmer finds the net at Hill Dickinson Stadium, you'll boost your balance.
Returning to the head-to-head, we see Palmer was on the scoresheet when Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. The Englishman broke the deadlock on 21 minutes, before Gusto made it two before the interval.
You may also remember that Palmer made headlines when scoring four goals past Everton two years ago. He managed four in little over an hour.
As well as boasting impressive stats against Everton, Palmer has been scoring for Chelsea in the Premier League and the Champions League. He's notched ten goals to date, with six coming away from Stamford Bridge.
He is an impressive and ambitious young player who has already proven he can bag important goals for his side. Back him to net again.
Tip: Palmer to score @ 13/8 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Cole Palmer scores at Everton, your bet wins.
