Paul Merson explains why Everton will suffer defeat against Chelsea

Paul Merson has predicted that Everton will suffer a defeat when they face off against Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Toffees are currently on a good run of form and after defeating Swansea 3-1 on Monday, they have now gone six games unbeaten.

The club has shown tremendous improvement since Sam Allardyce became manager and have now moved up to ninth place on the standings.

Allardyce is however likely to receive a big test against the reigning Champions who have been in decent form and who occupy third position on the League standings.

Merson now believes that Chelsea will comfortably win the game by saying, “Everton have improved a lot, but they are due a slip up having put so much into recent matches. This is the sort of game that Chelsea will step up for.”

Everton will be the underdogs going into the game and have lost their past four games in all competitions against Chelsea.
