Chelsea leads the game with one goal, and half time now. Happy with some improvements happened to them during the first half. They looked sloppy, but slowly improved. They also built some good counter attack against everton. I also give applause to the Jackson as he looks useful today.
However, very disappointed with how Palmer is again non existent in this game. I hope Maresca subs him off. he gives no contribution to the club.

The second half started about 15 minutes and result is still 1 - 0 for Chelsea. They are trying to create pressure for scoring a second goal but so far none of their attempts succeed. Everton players are playing and showing that they are not ready for a big defeat today. Chelsea must avoid playing too aggressively attacking because it can open their midfield and defensive areas for Everton players doing dangerous counter attacks.

Chelsea must win and not be able to draw. Already won for a while, then Chelsea must maintain that victory. Of course it is in order to achieve their target with the remaining match.
Even better if Chelsea are able to double the score because it also has an impact on the productivity of goals if it must be determined through many goals and conceded them to be able to occupy a safe position in the class of Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea must win this match and they are fully aware that if they have a draw, their chance to finish this season in top five will be smaller. In a competition for top five with many clubs, in the ending phase with only last five remaining matches, any point lost can be very harmful. Chelsea are leading Everton but with only one goal difference and they know that it is not a safe difference and it does not guarantee a win for them.

Chelsea are trying to score a second goal to nail this match as a win for them but Everton are trying hard to avoid it. If Chelsea players have a sort of lack of concentration at some moments, they might be punished by Everton players.
