Joao Pedro’s Record vs Everton is a Real Surprise Ahead of Chelsea’s Trip to Merseyside

According to a report by Football London on Tuesday October 13, 2026, Chelsea forward Joao Pedro has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most dangerous attackers, but his surprising record against Everton presents an intriguing challenge ahead of Saturday’s encounter at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Brazilian scored twice against Bournemouth in Chelsea’s recent victory, taking his Premier League tally to five goals this season. Only Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has scored more goals so far.

Despite Haaland leading the scoring charts, Pedro has statistically been rated among the division’s best performers. The Chelsea forward has also registered three more assists than the Norwegian, who has yet to provide one.

However, Everton could prove a difficult opponent for Pedro, considering his disappointing scoring record against the Merseyside club throughout his professional career. The Brazilian has struggled to make his mark in these meetings.

The 24-year-old has faced Everton seven times but has never managed to score against them. Nevertheless, he has recorded three victories, two defeats and two draws in those encounters.

Pedro’s only recorded attacking contribution against Everton has been one assist, making his upcoming appearance an opportunity to finally break his scoring drought against the Toffees and improve his personal record.

Last season, Chelsea defeated Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, although the return fixture ended in a convincing 3-0 victory for the Merseyside outfit, highlighting the challenge awaiting the Blues.

Chelsea will hope their attacking options can make the difference this weekend, even if Pedro struggles to overcome his unusual record against Everton. Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers offer additional attacking threats.

Rogers has impressed with his dribbling, ball retention and ability to test goalkeepers from different positions. The England international can evade challenges and carry possession into dangerous areas, making him another threat.

Chelsea supporters may approach the trip with renewed confidence, although defensive concerns remain. The Blues looked considerably stronger against Bournemouth following Moises Caicedo’s return to the starting lineup, offering encouragement ahead of Saturday’s difficult Merseyside assignment.
