Why you should back Chelsea

The Blues (13-8-6, 47 points) have been nearly impossible to score on under Tuchel, and it faces an Everton squad that has not outshot an opponent in its past 15 matches. Chelsea has allowed two goals under Tuchel with an approach focused on strong defense and timely attacks. The Blues hold the ball more than 61 percent of the time and complete nearly 86 percent of their passes.

The defensive approach doesn't mean Chelsea has trouble scoring. Six players have at least four goals, with Tammy Abraham (six), Mason Mount (five) and Timo Werner (five) making the most of their chances. Mount and Werner also create opportunities, combining for eight assists. Jorginho and N'Golo Kante proved to be a dangerous midfield duo against Liverpool, harassing defensively and making the key passes.
