CCTV5 Live Broadcast of Chelsea vs Everton: Caicedo Suspended, Blues Face Tough Challenge at Home Against Toffees

At 11 PM Beijing time on December 13, the 16th round of the Premier League will see a blue derby with Chelsea playing Everton at home, broadcast live on CCTV5.

Chelsea vs Everton, here are the highlights of the match:

First:Team SituationsAfter 15 rounds in the Premier League, Chelsea has 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, earning 25 points and sitting fifth, while Everton has 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses with 24 points, ranked seventh, just one point apart. In the last round, Chelsea drew 0-0 away against Bournemouth, marking three league matches without a win. Midweek, they lost 1-2 away to Atalanta in the Champions League, showing poor form. Everton, on the other hand, won 3-0 at home against Nottingham Forest and have 4 wins in their last 5 matches, demonstrating impressive form.

Second:Caicedo Suspended, Blues Struggle Against Toffees at HomeCaicedo remains suspended due to a red card, which will significantly weaken Chelsea's attacking and defensive capabilities. Chelsea’s recent form has been poor; even at home against Everton, the Blues will find it difficult to overcome the Toffees. Additionally, Chelsea lacks a striker (Draper is injured again), limiting their ability to break through defenses. The Blues also struggle against physically strong teams. If Everton opts to play on the counterattack away from home, considering both teams' current form, Everton is favored to avoid defeat in this match.

In their last six encounters, Chelsea leads with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.

Injury and Suspension Updates: Chelsea hasCaicedo, Essugo, Draper, Corver, and Ravia; Everton hasGueye, Branthwaite, Roll, and Coleman.
