The Toffees finished 16th last season in the race for the Champions League places. Everton will be looking to improve on their 2021-22 campaign next season after they finished 16th in the Premier League table, four points above the relegation zone, as they face the prospect of dropping to second place. Series of English football. The Toffees remain one of six English clubs never to be relegated from the Premier League, but last term they were tipped as possible European challengers and the real positive is that they managed to finish above the bottom three alongside Frank Lampard. Helping to ensure survival after being appointed in January.
The 2021-22 campaign ended with a 5-1 defeat at Arsenal, but Lampard was able to guide the club to safety, finishing with a record 11 wins, six draws and 21 defeats from 38 games to boast a record 39 points. Everton have only managed to sign three players in the current market, bringing in James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeill from Burnley.
Lampard will be desperate to get one over on his former club this weekend and a good result against the Blues will see them take on games against Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Leeds United before the end of the month. Meanwhile, Chelsea managed to finish third in the Premier League last season despite off-field issues with their ownership, so they will be playing in the Champions League again this term.
The Blues have boosted their squad with four players this summer, including Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina, but are still short of a centre-forward after Romelu Lukaku returned on loan to Inter Milan. Meanwhile, two key defenders in the shape of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen left on free transfers this summer and head coach Thomas Tuchel was not happy with the club's pre-season.
The London giants will enter this match on the back of a 3-1 win over Udinese last Friday, but they lost to Charlotte FC and Arsenal during their pre-season tour of the United States and were beaten 4-0 by the Gunners. This drew a lot of criticism from Tuchel. Chelsea welcome Tottenham in their second game of the season next weekend, so the pressure is on the team to start the campaign with a positive result, but it remains to be seen whether the capital team are fully prepared for a return to competitive action. .
