Everton vs Chelsea

FAPL, 10 February 2010, Goodison Park, 2000 KO

Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea travel to Merseyside for a bout with Everton.

Having beaten Arsenal 2-0 in their last match, Chelsea head to Goodison Park to face David Moyes' in-form Everton in a tasty-looking top half encounter. The Blues are in delicious form, and their victory over Arsene Wenger's side has seen them open up a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

However, Chelsea have not recorded a Premier League victory over Everton since April 2008 when Michael Essien's fine strike settled a tight encounter as Chelsea sought to chase down Manchester United. Three successive draws in the league have followed, including a 3-3 stalemate earlier in the season at Stamford Bridge.

However, with the return to form of Didier Drogba, coupled with Everton's loss in the Merseyside derby, will see the Toffees second-favourites in this encounter - but can Chelsea get the job done?

We were crap against them last season so hopfully can get 3 points this time round

Dont think gana be easy though..Everton of late seem to be a bit of a boogey team!

Hopfully though a win and volia.

[James 5,138]

Going to be a really hard game, Everton have picked up form lately.

Predicition: 2-1 Chels win.

[Blueboy 14]

Let's hope that they have not the same amount of luck they had last time at the bridge , was one of the most frustrating draws i've ever watched tbh.

[Blueboy 14]

Worth mentioning, Fellaini got subbed in the merseyderby because he was injured! That would help us a lot, at that point they lost control of the midfield...

[Wilson 358]

We should win 3-0. Everton are without Pienaar though haha

[Rambo 1,729]

Let's hope we can brush them off in this one. Gave us quite a match at the bridge. I'm going with a 2-0 win to Chels, first scorer Anelka.

Drogba --> 3 Goals in 2 Games since coming back

Lampard is in sizzling form as well

Petr Cech was outstanding in the game against Arsenal

John Terry, is completely focused on Chelsea

Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Everton

Very tricky game. Obvoisuly it would be nice to win 4 or 5 nil but i think this is a time for going in getting the 3 points and going. If you want to be champions these games are the ones you look back on at the end of the season, this could be the Blackburn away of this season. I would take a scrappy 1-0 all day long here.

[diskoviolente 425]

This one will be tougher than against Arsenal i reckon.

But on the other hand, yesterday was just a brilliant and on-time boost of confidence.

With Drogba chasing down poor Merseysiders i think we can get the job done. Tight 2:1

[Ray. 217]

I will be going to this game, I just hope that the predicted snow doesn't happen or doesn't settle. As for the result, hopefully we can improve on the draw that we got at home in December last year. I'd like to think we can achieve 2 or 3-0.

[zolayes 14,489]

suddenly most are optimistic ,,I think this could be a tough game ,,,will settle for any win ...a villa win would be a great bonus as well

[ChelseaChick 430]

This is going to be a really tough game, everton have been pretty good in there last few games. Im going for a 1-0 win to Chelsea!

[CFC58 22]

Petr Cech to keep another clean sheet!

Pienar suspended for this game no? thats a bonus for us.

[Wilson 358]

Yeah Pienaar should be suspended. I'm still sticking with 3-0, Drogba, Anelka and Lampard .

[Laylabelle 9,292]

We need to start winning away our record is appaling!! One win since Arsenal in November and espically seeing our run of away games is pretty shit..time to get that form back

[Rubber bullets 1,183]
