Paul Merson projects the outcome of this weekend's match between Everton and Chelsea.

Ahead of Everton’s match against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, Paul Merson has offered a strong prediction.

The analyst acknowledged, in an interview with sportskeeda, that he believes Sean Dyche’s team will win at Goodison Park “comfortably.”

In the last 12 games in all competitions, Everton has won eight of them, demonstrating a significant improvement in form in recent months.

Their home record hadn’t been as successful, though, and their victory over Bournemouth was their first in the Premier League since they had triumphed over the same team on the last day of May.

Despite their poor performance, the Toffees defeated Newcastle United 3-0 on Merseyside Friday night. Beto, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Dwight McNeil all scored goals to lift the team out of the relegation zone and give them great optimism going into this weekend’s match.

Paul Merson, who had predicted a 3-1 result, believes Everton will win three straight games.

He predicted that Everton would defeat Chelsea this time around despite the fact that they are a far superior team away from home.

“Mauricio Pochettino’s team is lacking something, but I’m not sure what it is.” They performed admirably against Man City, but Newcastle completely outclassed them, especially in the second half.
