Everton vs Chelsea

The Blues need to find that bit of extra quality in the final third but it’s obviously difficult with no recognisable focal point to their attack. Dele Alli should really do better after a strong run from Nathan Patterson sees the defender drive into the box, where he tees up the former England international. We’ve just had a policeman on the pitch during play. The lack of an attacking option in this match was hugely evident as they played out what was something of a toothless 108 minutes (thanks to long stoppages) at Goodison Park. Everton taste defeat in their opening game of the 2022/23 season. Like when these sides last met here on May 1, a single goal divides them but whereas Richarlison, who has now departed Everton for Tottenham Hotspur, was a crucial match-winner back then, this time Jorginho’s penalty was the difference. I wouldn't mind but he’s hardly gone beyond a jog all evening. Amadou Onana was all smiles in and around half time as he posed for pictures with supporters ahead of what was his imminent announcement as a new Blues star. A brilliant start to the second-half from the Blues Mykolenko is booked after a pulling back Loftus-Cheek. A free kick from just outside the box for the Londoners. Free kick to Chelsea. Everton claimed for a handball against Broja but the ref says it was a shove in the back from Tarkowski. Ten minutes for Lampard's men to find a way back into the game and snatch a point, at least.

Jorginho’s penalty was enough for Chelsea to see off Everton who were solid if unspectacular. 90+9 mins: Conor Gallagher makes his full Chelsea debut as he replaces Jorginho with two minutes to play. His past is not his greatest concern in a week when Everton have stumbled into the season defined by costly injuries. For Todd Boehly, the co-owner who has doubled up as his own director of football and whose summer transfer deliberations have encompassed everyone from Cristiano Ronaldo to Carney Chukwuemeka, victory was secured by two throwbacks to past regimes.

The first Saturday of the new season will conclude at Goodison Park this evening as Frank Lampard's Everton host Chelsea.The Toffees endured a torri.

Tuchel, without thinking his team played very well, three points was the main objective today.” Sometimes you need that little bit of a focal point. He will be out for a while, Mina is an ankle injury and could be out for a while. Early on in the season you want your performances to be up there – that was the case today. On the coming campaign: “I was excited going into the game. “If the ref gives it, it’s never going to be turned around but if he doesn’t give it, does it get overturned? We played at Everton and we've struggled over recent years to get points here. “We have things to improve but this isn't a. Yerry has an ankle injury we don’t know too much about. Ben got his injury, we think it’s a small fracture of the fibula. The mistake was getting pulled slightly out of position as a team.” Everton 0 Chelsea 1 REACTION

Chelsea face Everton at Goodison Park in their first Premier League game of the season, a ground where the Blues have struggled in recent years.

FIFA 22 predicts that after a strong first-half showing from Everton, Chelsea could find themselves on top in the second half and earn a narrow victory. After the goal, Everton seemingly lost hope and momentum, with Chelsea now in full control. Chelsea only had one shot in the first half compared to Everton's four, with the Blues struggling at Goodison Park once again. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. A well-worked move saw Dele Alli break into the box before laying it off to Doucoure on the edge of the box. But, after a summer transfer window that's seen the likes of Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly sign, Thomas Tuchel's side should be optimistic.

Can the Toffees get a new campaign off to a positive start after a difficult summer?

Until the new signings get bedded in and the Blues can get some consistency in performances they might need that extra push to keep collecting points and ensure we don’t get into another relegation battle. The Toffees will need to channel the same intensity and team spirit they did so well last season to ensure Premier League survival, with the players feeding off the fans’ energy. “As always, the last week before the season is always where you feel a new focus, new excitement, new level of focus in training. That will be a mixture of work [on the training pitch] and the players we can hopefully strengthen the squad with. This is very important to not lose focus and take the first week step by step. After that we needed to digest but last week is good, we feel ready for tomorrow. We took the possibility to prepare the whole week for Saturday, nothing else. There is still plenty of time for incoming and outgoing transfer activity, but in the meantime the new season gets underway today with high-spending Chelsea coming to visit. Indeed, if the Blues are a midtable side when the World Cup break comes around in mid-November, many of us will be thanking our lucky stars and considering the job half-completed. Chelsea had third place pretty much secured at this point and were playing out the season, but the Toffees still had everything to battle for. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the subsequent sanctions against then owner Roman Abramovich put the very future of the club at stake. Maybe it was also necessary to lose that game like we lost it against Arsenal, against a big rival in the league who is trying to take our place.

Everything you need to know as Chelsea face Frank Lampard in their season opener at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have hardly had the best preparations either but you can usually rely on their defence and Everton should not pose too many problems without a striker. Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly should make their debuts but although Marc Cucurella was signed in time to be registered in Chelsea’s squad, the left back is unlikely to feature. Everton have been rocked by the news that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will miss around “six weeks” due to a knee injury suffered in training.

However, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin out for six weeks, the Merseyside outfit will be desperate to bring in a striker in the remainder of the window. Everton take on Chelsea today in the opening weekend of the Premier League season and both sides will be looking to kickstart their campaign with a win.

Everton are hoping for a more comfortable campaign this time around after their relegation battle throughout the 2021-22 season.

Chelsea this afternoon begin what they will hope is a far more productive Premier League campaign away at Everton.

Marc Cucurella could make his debut for the club in some capacity at least, though is almost certain to start on the bench. Heading into a new era, it’s difficult to judge where Tuchel’s team are. Where to watch Everton vs Chelsea

Everton host Chelsea to begin this new season and looking to get off to a positive start to this campaign.

WAGNH: Well, that’s a bit tough to tell with this being the first “real” game of the season, but preseason has seen largely the same ideas, and along with it, the same problems as last season. We have great expectations of Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella while Kalidou Koulibaly has been a target for the better part of half a decade. While this Chelsea side is a bit different than last year - with changes made across the squad and regarding ownership - the expectations are still likely as high as ever. How is Thomas Tuchel looking to adjust this side that struggled at points down the stretch of last season even with a third-place Premier League finish? Chelsea FC may have had ownership changes, but their team will present the same challenges as ever before to Frank Lampard and company; getting off to a good start will be that much more important for this team after the relegation battle of 2021-22. With that said, what have the feelings been around west London, this team, and the supporters regarding preseason struggles, player departures, and arrivals as well as new owner Todd Boehly?

I just think our delay in getting our players in will be too much at this point. Much as I'd like to have seen Fulham win I think by the end of the season we might be glad of any points Fulham drop. Greys free kick was excellent but rather the exception than the rule for 21/22. Loved his reaction too, when DCL buried the header. Please please please have the Live Forum ready to roll!!! I'd like to see McNeil starting and feel that we have a plethora of defensive midfielders, it's the creative variety we lack and that means that the forwards struggle for possession and service. He was a very good prospect once and finally, after all these years, seems to be injury free (hope that's not tempting fate). Maybe my heart rules my head here, but I feel he deserves a chance to show if he can be part of the solution. Jeff #12 we could already have had a striker for far less than the money, £40m potentially, we're allegedly paying for Onana who most of us never heard of. If we get Coady, I would sell him and Holgate if anyone came in for them. And it's only day one. Comments are the responsibility of the poster.

The last time these two sides met, of course, was just a few months ago in this same fixture when Everton beat Chelsea at Goodison Park for the fourth season in succession.

Frank Lampard has picked his first starting lineup of the season and he's gone with an interesting selection of players there.

26’ - McNeil loses the ball in his own third to Sterling and gives away a corner. 43’ - Chelsea have the ball in the net and it’s offside! The rebound comes a long way out where Gray drops his shoulder and turns his man, Gordon is in acres of space with nothing but the goal in front of him, and Gray can’t get his pass to him... James overhits this one and it goes out the other side finally. Jorginho up to take it, Mina is getting in his face, and is now booked as we have a melee in the box. 52’ - Penalty Chelsea! Chilwell turns Doucoure and is into the box, Doucoure pulls him back and the Chelsea player goes down very easily. Cleared partly, James shot from outside the box blocked for a corner from the right now. 51’ - Everton counter down the left, McNeil gets into space and tries to find Doucs in the area, corner. Ball into the box, Iwobi’s shot blocked, goalmouth melee, Doucs shot blocked, it falls to Holgate, charged down and then eventually Mendy collects. Cucurella cross met by Sterling in the box and the fullback slides over to block, the ball fizzes past Pickford’s right foot as he is wrong-footed. 81’ - Mykos is booked for bringing Havertz down on the run. 90+11’ - Freekick to the Blues, Cucurella booked on but for timewasting.

Chelsea kick off their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with a tough trip to Goodison Park to take on Everton this evening. Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Dwight McNeil makes his competitive bow for Everton and he supports Demarai Gray in attack for the hosts. Raheem Sterling makes his debut for Chelsea following his move from Manchester City this summer. Edouard Mendy starts between the sticks while Reece James lines-up on the right flank for the Londoners. Ben Chilwell gets the nod on the opposite flank so Marc Cucurella has to settle for a place on the bench having only completed his move to Chelsea on Friday.

At their worst in the period after that, Chelsea all too often looked one-paced, much as they did for large parts of the first-half on Merseyside. Jorginho won the match right at the end of first half stoppage time after Ben Chilwell was adjudged to have been fouled in the box by Abdoulaye Doucoure. Jorginho proved the match winner as Chelsea opened with a win under in the new Boehly-Clearlake era but it was the new signings that really shone away at Everton.

Christian Pulisic – Replaced Mount in the second half. Somehow denied again by a flying Mykolenko block which kept Everton in the game. Cramped up in the second half and needed to come off. Thiago Silva – Ideal position to stop Gray’s through-ball for Gordon. Could not quite believe Mendy opted to stay close to his goal when Everton played a long ball forward. “Dave” looked comfortable with Silva next to him, a soothing sight given they lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen in the summer. Cesar Azpilicueta – A new contract and still in the starting line-up, for now. Unable to pull the trigger when seemingly the shot was there to take. Vitalii Mykolenko – Found Gordon with a good cross but the forward headed wide. Everton said he was taken to hospital after suffering a lower leg injury. Suffered cramp in the second half after a busy afternoon, forcing him off. Yerry Mina – Tried to put off Jorginho before the penalty and booked for his efforts. Fumbled a Kante effort but saved by the offside flag when Sterling tapped in.

The stretcher was quickly called by Everton’s physios with Godfrey receiving oxygen on the pitch, such was his distress. The central defender was in agony on the pitch and immediately told referee Craig Pawson that he would need to come off. The England international was attempting to challenge Kai Havertz in the penalty area.
