Chris Sutton thinks Chelsea will make it four wins in a row when they face Everton tomorrow.
The Blues have won their last three matches across all competitions, two in the Premier League and one in the Champions League.
Next, Graham Potter’s side host Everton on Saturday evening in the final game before the international break.
It’s an opportunity for Chelsea to pick up another three points as they look to climb the league table.
BBC pundit Sutton doesn’t think Chelsea will have any issues dealing with tomorrow’s opponents, predicting a 2-0 home win.
“Chelsea seem to be finding a bit of form, at last. Wouldn’t it be something if they won the Champions League under Graham Potter, after such a difficult start for him at Stamford Bridge?” Sutton wrote for BBC Sport.
“First things first, though, they should take three points on Saturday.
“Everton are another team who are decent at home but dreadful away. They have a really tough run-in, by the way, so their form on the road will have to improve at some point if they are going to stay out of the bottom three.
“Sutton’s prediction: 2-0.”
Chelsea faced Everton on the opening day of the league season back in August and secured a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park.
The recent run of form should mean there’s a lot of belief going into this weekend. Let’s not forget this is an Everton side fighting hard in the thick of a relegation battle, though.
Potter will give his team news later today ahead of Saturday’s match.
We are waiting for an update on Raheem Sterling, who Gareth Southgate has not picked in his England squad during this international break due to injury.
