Such strong showings against teams ranked significantly higher assures Everton a wealth of confidence as they head into their first match against Brighton. With so little to differentiate either side, the team’s penchant for rising to the occasion could be key in snatching an important home victory.

Anticipation from fans is through the roof to see if they’ll live up to the exceptional expectations set before them.
Chelsea’s Struggles Despite Strong Performance
Unlike Everton and Bournemouth though, the alarm bells have been ringing for some time regarding Chelsea’s recent form. Last weekend, the team played well against Crystal Palace, dominating possession with 72 percent and completing the most passes among all Premier League teams. However, they weren’t able to turn this dominance into shots on target, settling with an expected goals total of 1.7.
A theme of clinical finishing has been a sore spot for Chelsea all season. Players like Declan Rice have showcased their ability to step into advanced positions and create goal-scoring opportunities under manager Mikel Arteta. By contrast, Chelsea’s awful form in the final third has become a source of annoyance for onlookers, fans and pundits, just the same.
Since Graham Potter’s appointment, West Ham’s performance has come under extraordinary criticism. In fact, they now find themselves last in the league in a few key metrics like expected goals and open play chances created. To that end, Chelsea seems to be really searching out solutions for their scoring woes. The announced schedule will be key to their hopes this year.
