Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have picked out Everton’s clash with Chelsea as one of the most ‘intriguing’ fixtures of the weekend.
The Toffees kick off their 2022/2023 Premier League campaign on Saturday evening when they host Thomas Tuchel’s Blues. Under new owner Todd Boehly, the London club have spent over £150million on the likes of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella but a poor pre-season has dampened the mood considerably at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel’s side last came to Goodison Park just over three months ago, but an inspired performance from Jordan Pickford and a Richarlison strike gave Everton a crucial 1-0 win to kickstart their survival push - their fourth home win over Chelsea in a row. It all makes for an exciting contest at the Grand Old Lady, and Sky Sports pair Carragher and Neville have backed an ‘intriguing’ affair.
