We simulated Chelsea vs Everton to get a Premier League score prediction

Chelsea have the chance to make it four wins on the bounce on Saturday when they face Everton in the Premier League.

After winning just once in all competitions between January 1 and March 4, Chelsea have finally hit a good run of form, winning their last three games in all competitions as they look to push for towards the European places in the Premier League. Goals from Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic secured a 3-1 win over Leicester City in their last outing, with the win leaving Graham Potter's side in 10th.

Everton have looked a better side since the arrival of Sean Dyche, with the Toffees currently just outside the relegation zone having won three of their last seven. The two sides have already met once this season, with Jorginho scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win.

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions

We predict that the Blues could line up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Kepa; Fofana, Koulibaly, Badiashile; James, Fernandez, Kovacic, Chilwell; Mudryk, Havertz, Felix.

We predict that the Toffees could set up in a 4-5-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey; Iwobi, Doucoure, Gueye, Onana, McNeil; Gray.

The first half was extremely even at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea finding it hard to break down the compact Everton defence whilst the visitors looked dangerous on the break. As the game went on, the Blues started to look more dangerous in attack, and they grabbed a deserved lead after 67 minutes when Kai Havertz finished off a rapid counterattack.

An Everton corner was headed clear by Kalidou Koulibaly, and Enzo Fernandez beat Alex Iwobi to the loose ball to start a Chelsea attack. The Argentine found Joao Felix on the right, and the forward's cross into the box was prodded into the corner by Havertz to make it 1-0.

Now behind, Everton started to push forward more as they looked to find an equaliser. This played into Chelsea's hands, and they doubled their lead in the 89th minute to wrap up the three points.

As Everton lost the ball high up the pitch, Ben Chilwell led an attack down the left. The fullback ran the length of the pitch before cutting into the box and finding Fernandez, and the Argentine powered home from close range to confirm the victory for Potter's side.

FIFA 23 predicts that Chelsea's winning streak could continue this weekend, with the Blues beating Everton 2-0 in the simulation.
