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.

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.

The 2022-23 English Premier League season is officially underway as Chelsea will be taking on Everton to kick off the new campaign for both sides.

Chelsea is also without the services of defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen who left on free transfers, but they brought in center back Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli to help fill the void on the backline. Even with the Roman Abramovich saga and sanctions being placed on them, they still managed to hang on for a third-place finish in EPL play and made a nice run to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. They also made it to the the EFL Cup and FA Cup finals last season, though they lost to Liverpool in a penalty shootout in both competitions. Everton is coming off an abysmal season that saw them narrowly escape relegation, finishing 16th but just four points out of the relegation zone. Chelsea will be one of the exceptions. The match gets started at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 6 as Toffees coach Frank Lampard will welcome his former club to Goodison Park.

While Frank Lampard's side have invested in James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil from Burnley, with wing-back Ruben Vinagre also arriving after a spell with ...

Liverpool to keeping Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel in check at Goodison. 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.

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea head to Goodison Park to face Frank Lampard's Everton on Saturday as they look to improve on a disappointing campaign last season.

Summer signings Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly will look to start, while Carney Chukwuemeka may feature off the bench. Amazon's 20 live Premier League games will return in the 2022/23 season. BT Sport hold the rights to 52 live Premier League games. They also own rights to the Carabao Cup and several international matches. Former Burnley duo James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil should make their competitive debuts, while Ruben Vinagre will also hope to feature. Coverage will begin at 5pm.

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. Note: the following content is not moderated or vetted by the site owners at the time of submission. 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.

Saturday has kicked off with a bang as Fulham showed that an away trip to a newly promoted side is no easy task even for a team like Liverpool. An early goal ...

Thomas Tuchel has a lot to work out with his team while Everton can take a lot of positives from the match. It was an unfortunate first half for Everton who performed to the best of their abilities but still went into the break behind. Amadou Onana was in the crowd watching as he'll be in the Everton midfield sooner than later after they agreed to a deal with Lille but for Chelsea, even with Armando Broja on the pitch they were missing a proper nine. Gray put an excellent cross into the box for Gordon but Koulibaly steps up to clear the chance. Patterson played Dele Alli into space and he didn't know what he wanted to do with the ball. He was bright along with Kalidou Koulibaly in making their debuts Saturday but most of the team didn't shine along with them. Thomas Tuchel has a lot to work out with his team while Everton can take a lot of positives from the match. Everton were hit with another injury blow only 18 minutes into the match as Ben Godfrey left the match on a stretcher after a lengthy delay. Ben Chilwell drew a penalty before the half as Doucouré put both hands on his shirt while he was going down in the box. Nunez came to the rescue with nine minutes remaining as he teed up Mo Salah to level and keep up his incredible opening day record of scoring in all six fixtures with Liverpool. Ultimately, it was a point gained by Klopp's men as Fulham outfought them on many occasions while Marco Silva's Cottagers will be heartened by their spirited showing. A clumsy penalty conceded by Abdoulaye Doucouré was the difference in the match as Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 on opening day. Mitrovic was losing the ball but a penalty was awarded and confirmed after a VAR review.

Live coverage of Chelsea's trip to face Everton at Goodison Park, with Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling set for their Blues debuts.

Ben Godfrey puts in a firm tackle on Kai Havertz and the Everton star comes out hurt from it. Tuchel will be sure to demand more in the break. Think we've got a medical emergency in the Chelsea away section. There is still much work for Thomas Tuchel and his players to do in the week ahead with Tottenham to come at Stamford Bridge next Sunday. Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to overcome the Blues' awful record at Goodison Park in recent years. Richarlison was the difference between the sides on that occasion but has since left for Tottenham, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin out of the clash due to injury.

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.

Referee Kevin Friend added an additional eight minutes on to the first half following the incident. The fan received medical attention from officials in attendance and was later confirmed to be in a stable condition.
