The Blues have finished 16 league matches with three or more goals including two in their last five.

Both teams in matches involving Chelsea have scored in 16 Premier League matches from 33 including two in their last five outings. For Everton, both teams have scored in 16 league matches from 32 including three in their last five. This will be the 188th meeting between the two sides with Chelsea picking up 74 wins, 56 draws and 57 defeats against Everton in all competitions. With five matches to go, their only objective is to secure Champions League football at the very least.

We've taken a look at the latest set of images from Everton training as the club completed a session at Goodison Park on Friday.

But the latest images from Goodison show that he seemed to take full part in the session with his teammates. You'll have had to be tuned in to the club's Instagram account on Saturday afternoon to see this one. That's indicative of the positive attitude that Lampard is keen to instil over the course of this week. The aspect that really stands out in the latest set of training images is how together the squad seem. But, on the flip side, there's also the right sense of commitment from these pictures too. A match against Frank Lampard's former club is first on the agenda, and picking up three points is seemingly becoming more important as the hours go by.

It's a quick return to the north-west this weekend as the Blues head to Goodison Park for a meeting with familiar faces and here we preview our penultimate ...

Richarlison has had the most shots on target (16) and most shots off target (18) in the Premier League this season. It was in this corresponding fixture for Everton in December 2020, against Frank Lampard’s Chelsea. Our two defeats came at West Ham and Man City. Marcos Alonso has completed the most interceptions in the Premier League for the Blues in 2021/22 (40). Chelsea have the highest win rate in games played on the first day of a month in Premier League history, winning 30 of our 50 such games (60 per cent). We have won all four of our matches in the competition that have kicked off on 1 May. Chelsea have the second-best away record in the Premier League this season (behind Man City) with 37 points (11 wins) from 17 games.

At the heart of the defence is Tiago Silva. The 37 year old is a marvel: moving to the most physical and intense league in world football at an advanced age with this level of success shows what an intelligent player he is. Against Manchester United, he deployed Mason Mount behind a front two of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner. In attacking situations there’s a lot of fluidity in Chelsea’s movements, so Mount would appear on the right and the two forwards swapped positions frequently in order to confuse the defence. The attacker has scored ten league goals and registers an SCA90 (Shot-Creating Actions per 90 minutes) of 4.00. He is a creative force from open play and dead-ball situations and his mobility and tireless work make him a constant danger. Last summer, a final piece in the form of elite striker Romelu Lukaku was added, with a serious challenge for the Premier League title expected, but this dissipated after a strong opening to the campaign saw the team top the table after 14 matches. One by one - with the exception of the cut-adrift Watford and Norwich City - the Blues have seen their relegation rivals turn their form around: first Brentford, then Leeds United and finally Burnley. The former are now safe on 40 points, the latter two still enmeshed in the battle, but Frank Lampard’s Blues need to find some consistency in the six games that remain for them if they are to survive. The end of the season is approaching with alarming rapidity and come Sunday, Everton will be left with just three weeks to try to secure their status as a Premier League club; an astonishing thing to absorb for Blues fans unfamiliar with similarly bleak situations in the 1990s.

Chelsea: Mateo Kovacic inches closer to fitness but this match will come too soon for him, offering a chance for Ruben Loftus-Cheek to continue in the starting lineup. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has returned to training and will be available for selection along with Yerry Mina but the list of who is out gets longer and longer. Chelsea have only won two of their last five matches and are running out of motivation for things to play for in the Premier League as a FA Cup final date looms versus Liverpool on May 14th.

Lampard’s Everton are at a ‘critical’ juncture as they face his former club, Chelsea, on Sunday with six games left in which to protect a proud record of being in the top flight since 1954. ‘We need to keep that spirit because spirit in football is a huge thing. Lampard, 43, says he’s been through enough to cope with the pressure.

I told the players how lucky we are - but they also have to understand that they have a responsibility to every Evertonian to make sure we stay in this league.” A couple are a bit older, which is different but great in the same sense - and those things are important.” “The harder bit is when you are not actually playing games and you have a long week, because you think about the job all the time. I've got four kids, and a couple of them are pretty young, and they make you smile all the time. Whenever I speak to him, whether it’s ‘what do you think about taking the Everton job, Harry? What do you think about the Chelsea job? It’s not like he tells me to do this or that - it’s not that kind of advice.

A look back at Everton's most memorable recent triumphs over Chelsea at Goodison Park as the Blues seek what could be their most-important victory over the ...

Goodison Park loves a trier and perhaps Denis Stracqualursi wasn’t the only person inside the ground to shed a tear when the Everton cult hero finally scored what proved to be his solitary goal in a Premier League game. The hosts’ nerves jangled just three minutes later when Mateo Kovacic pulled a goal back with a long range effort but the points were secured six minutes from the end as Calvert-Lewin proved sharpest in the box during a goalmouth scramble to fire the ball through Kepa Arrizabalaga’s legs after the world’s most-expensive goalkeeper had given up possession with a poor clearance. This was the infamous day that future Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti was sacked by Chelsea before he’d even left Goodison Park – just a year after delivering a Premier League and FA Cup double in his first season outside of Italian football – but for the Blues the game is more memorable for Jermaine Beckford’s recreation of another AC Milan legend’s famous solo goal when George Weah famously ran almost the entire length of the pitch from his own area to score against Verona in 1996. Everton actually enjoy a winning record at home to Chelsea in the Premier League – just – having triumphed in 11 of their meetings with 10 wins for the visitors and eight draws. In the same competition, Arsenal have triumphed 12 times at Goodison with nine Everton wins and nine draws while their north London rivals Tottenham have secured 10 victories to Everton’s five with 15 draws. Everton really need a win against Chelsea at Goodison Park on Sunday to boost their hopes of Premier League survival but there is encouragement for the hosts as they prepare for this crucial battle.

Everton take on Chelsea at Goodison Park this Sunday, in a match that holds huge consequences at both ends of the Premier League table.

May 1st May 1st May 1st Both sides possess very little margin for error, setting the scene nicely for a lively battle on Merseyside with plenty at stake.

He said: "The players that sometimes we need, or who are training well, and who we hear are training well, come in and train with us. Club bosses are keen to improve the connection between the academy and first team with the hope of providing a pathway for more players to make the step up. Lampard highlighted the club’s current plight as a reason for not being able to give current U23s players experience on the pitch.

Everton supporters are set to create a huge atmosphere at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon as Chelsea make the visit to Merseyside.

The atmosphere was stunning and an electric Goodison pushed their side to an amazing and hard-fought 3-1 victory on that afternoon. Goodison has been an angry ground for the home side at points this season, now it's time to make it an absolutely unbearable cacophony of noise for the travelling side. Those who are revelling in the doom-and-gloom of a great club finding themselves in peril at the bottom end of the table. Blues are making a concerted effort to encourage everyone to get around the ground as early as they possibly can this weekend. The Blues have relied on their home form throughout the majority of the term so far, and there's been little evidence to suggest that might change any time soon. But a bit of rain isn't about to dampen the atmosphere Everton fans are desperate to create this weekend.

"It seems to me he knows how to take it and it's good to have players in your squad that feel it like that. Ironically, on that occasion they beat Chelsea at home - and kicked off the bad run of form for the visitors which led to Lampard being sacked by the London club. "I thought we did that pretty well at Liverpool, other than the last bit, the last shot. Yes, that little bit of end product but that's absolutely normal, that will come naturally with the development and the way he works." His feeling for the club: to bring that across at such a young age is something pretty special. I've been in it many times as a player and now as a coach, and the only way I know is to work your way out of it and work hard." "It's great to see, I wish them very well in their careers and I've got absolute confidence they'll do great because of the way they are. "He's becoming more of a man, more of a leader with every game, with every day. "It means you understand their quality and how they play because I've worked with most of the players at close hand and seen the things they can do. "Great attitudes, both of them in their own ways, and I'm very pleased for them because I know how they are as lads. Of course, for Lampard the game holds extra significance, given all he achieved as a player for Chelsea and his season-and-a-half in charge. "We have to have real strong belief," he says.

The Toffees are in deep trouble with six games of the season remaining and slid into the bottom three with a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool last weekend.

Both teams come into the contest at Goodison Park having not picked up three points in their last game.

"Everton were much improved against Liverpool last weekend, and did really well for the first 60 minutes or so. A draw won't be good enough for them, but they'll have to take what they can get. Therefore, a win is important for the west Londoners to solidify third place at this late stage and football.london rounds up how the pundits have seen this one going on Sunday afternoon. They played well against Liverpool, and they'll need to get a result this weekend. Frank Lampard's side, who put up a valiant fight in their 2-0 loss last time out in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool last weekend, wiill be desperate to get one over his beloved club for personal reasons. On the contrary, Chelsea are feeling a lot easier about themselves despite dropping two points in wasteful fashion midweek against Ralf Rangnick's stuttering Man United side.

Fireworks were set off outside the Hilton hotel in Liverpool where the Chelsea squad have been staying ahead of their Premier League match with Everton.

Everton need results and they need to find them fast after relegation rivals Burnley recorded their third win on the spin on Saturday. Everton were beaten 2-0 in the Merseyside derby last Sunday at Anfield, but home form is going to be key if they are to fight their way out of being relegated for the first time in the history of the club. Fireworks were set off outside the Hilton hotel in the early hours of the morning in Liverpool where Chelsea were believed to be staying ahead of the vital clash with Everton in the Premier League at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.

19 mins: Azpilicueta and Richarlison compete for a loose ball which leaves the Chelsea man rolling around in pain, but no foul is given. A big shout from the fans behind the goal but the referee is unmoved. Mina hits the deck far too softly under pressure from Azpilicueta, with the ball gone too. Chelsea have the control, but haven’t done a lot with it. There isn’t much between the teams. 25 mins: A whopping 76 per cent of possession has gone for the away side, which is a pretty good summary of the opening 25 minutes.

Farhad Moshiri is to blame for most of the mess at Everton, but the players must be responsible for being in the relegation battle, says Jamie Carragher.

In his column for The Telegraph Carragher said: “The conservative estimate is that Moshiri has invested £500 million on the squad and assortment of managers. The players’ form has not been good enough, clearly, but better groups of players than this one in the history of football have had a major dip in form due to the environment they were operating in. But as the man in charge of the decisions, or in charge of those who make the decisions, all rounds eventually lead to Moshiri.

Farhad Moshiri hasn't been seen much at Goodison Park this season as Everton fans unite to fight relegation.

The process is vital to ensure all components of Everton fully support the manager. He could have expected a fair amount of the protest to be directed at him and he faced the music if only for a brief spell. “We have to get behind the manager and give him that Goodison feeling, and I think success will come with that. Everyone connected with the club is making a concerted effort to make these final three home matches of the season the best they can possibly be. His "good times" comment is still ringing in the ears of many as incredibly off-brand for a club of this stature. Despite Evertonians not seeing him for a while, his motivations remain the same. Instead of directly addressing the fans or using the club's own channels to do so, he would often go through a friend at a certain radio station to get his message across. What must be said is that it's tough to know what effect the pandemic might have had on this point. He missed the ire that came from the supporters in the match before against Liverpool too, which saw strong words directed at other prominent members of the board who had taken to their seats. But this is a time when supporters are calling for unity, togetherness. There's little doubt that the majority shareholder has been rather conspicuous by his absence in what has been a hugely disappointing season for his side. But, when the day came, it was revealed that he wasn't in attendance.

Minute-by-minute report: Can Frank Lampard boost Everton's survival hopes with victory over his former club? Join John Brewin to find out.

We’ve had a while to get used to the idea, yet it’s still hard to believe that Everton might be relegated. If Everton do drop into the Championship it will be the most shocking relegation in English football since Spurs in 1976-77. There’s an atmosphere of bristling defiance at Goodison Park, and you’d expect a ferocious start from the home side. “Hello from Pittsburgh!” writes Eric Peterson. “I’m a former sports radio announcer, so I’m a fan of not just the games but its many elite announcers. They can’t think like that today, even though Chelsea is literally the third toughest fixture they could face. For people of my age it’s not unusual to see Leeds, Newcastle or even Chelsea and Manchester City playing in the second tier. A week ago they went to Liverpool knowing that, all things being equal, they would lose. Most of us instinctively felt they belonged to a small group of clubs who were if not too good to go down then certainly too big to go down. Quality $hithousery from the Toffees’ fans.” Chelsea are unhappy because Havertz was fouled by Delph on the edge of the area just before that, but the referee Kevin Friend didn’t give the free-kik. 4 min Actually, Gordon and Gray are switching wings all the time. 8 min Mount whips a long-range shot just over the bar.

His shot grazes the top of the net as it goes out for a goal-kick. He told the club's channels: "It is amazing, it is incredible support.

Thomas Tuchel has made one change from the side that drew at Manchester United on Thursday.

The referee is Kevin Friend. That is in midfield where Ruben Loftus-Cheek replaces N’Golo Kante who is not involved today having suffered an injury in the last match. Thomas Tuchel has made one change from the side that drew at Manchester United on Thursday.
