Everton vs Chelsea: Why Blues’ tricky trio can land this tempting 12/1 bet-builder at Goodison Park

Everton have made a strong start to life at home this season, but they face a major test when Chelsea visit Merseyside in the Premier League this weekend.

Xabi Alonso's side have scored 15 goals in their opening six Premier League matches, while their games against top-flight opposition this season have averaged 5.29 goals. With both teams capable of finding the net, Saturday's clash could provide plenty of entertainment for the neutral.

Chelsea's attacking threat has largely come from Joao Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer, who have combined for 11 of the Blues' 15 league goals, which makes a bet builder involving all three a very appealing option in the early kick-off.

Back Chelsea's tricky trio to deliver against Everton

The Blues head into the game in a confident mood after putting five past AFC Bournemouth in a 5-1 victory last weekend. They also scored six in their EFL Cup win over Leeds, underlining the vast attacking potential of Alonso's side.

Alonso's side have made a habit of starting quickly, scoring within the opening seven minutes in five of their first six Premier League matches this season. However, their attacking approach has also left them vulnerable at the other end, with Chelsea conceding in every league game so far.

That could suit Everton, who have taken seven points from their three home matches this season. David Moyes' side were held to a 2-2 draw by Hull City last weekend but have shown enough going forward to suggest they can trouble Chelsea's defence.

The key, though, could be the visitors' attacking trio. Pedro has scored five goals in five league appearances, while Rogers has contributed four goals and an assist in six matches. Palmer, meanwhile, has two goals and three assists to his name.

Together, they have accounted for 11 of Chelsea's 15 Premier League goals and seven of their 13 assists. Their influence is very clear, and there is further encouragement in the fact that the proposed bet builder has landed in three of the five matches in which all three have started together.

With the Blues' matches producing plenty of goals and their attacking output heavily concentrated in this trio, backing Pedro to score, Palmer to assist and Rogers to score or assist could offer an attractive route into Saturday's contest.

Everton vs Chelsea best bet

Joao Pedro to score, Cole Palmer to assist and Morgan Rogers to score or assist – 12/1 (13.00) with bet365, or 10/1 (11.00) with William Hill

Pedro's five goals in five matches make him a strong candidate to find the net, while Palmer has already registered three assists this season. Rogers has also contributed five direct goal involvements, giving this combination plenty of attacking potential at a generous price, and it can win even if the game ends 2-0.
