Closed Everton v Chelsea

[Sheva. 5,373]

No Moses? Why?

He won't be going to the AFCON yet.

When is he leaving? i thought i read Nigeria wanted players to report to training camp by today.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

yep. Unstoppable shots and the Drogba celebration ripping up the Goodison pitch. epic moment

God that game and the Wigan one was mental!!!

Tough tough game..expect a draw...hopfully not a loss!Win be bloody unexpected!

Not for Moses and Mikel yet though.

The Chelsea pair have been granted permission to stay in London until after the New Year...

Benitez wants to keep them till after we play the 1st leg LC tie against Swansea. The AFCON only starts on 19th January after all.

FUCK YES!

[Jase 43,479]

FUCK YES!

My concern about that is the Stoke away game. Need all the physical players that we have but it looks like we might miss both of them!

I really am not looking forward to that game, if West ham can bully us, imagine Stoke lmao.

Hopefully we have JT back and we will need Luiz in midfield for that.

Fellaini still banned for them?

Yes

Neville kept Bald quiet on the three occasions they've faced each other (it defies all logic I know) so I wouldn't be too worried about him against Hazard.

Bale might be quicker but hazard is far more skillful and tricky.

[bushman 2,043]

Hazard might be more skillful but can not score one goal if his life depends on it.

Here's a few more stats to throw in:

1. Chelsea have only failed to scored twice in their last 14 Premier League away matches - 0-0 draws against QPR & Arsenal(last season).

2. Chelsea have only kept 5 clean sheets in their last 21 Premier League away matches and 3 of those have come in 9 league away games this season.

3. Everton have not failed to scored in their last 13 Premier League home matches. Last time they didn't score at Goodison in the league was against Arsenal in March as they lost 1-0 then.

4. Everton have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League home matches and it came in the 1-0 win over Manchester United this season.

Fellaini missing is huge for us. Hopefully we should be able to capatalize.

[Ollie 4,400]

We can win this but it will be very tricky. Fellaini missing obviously gives us a better chance although i would settle for a draw if offered right now. Winning this would be huge.

.

what's even more annoying is we had a wrongly disallowed goal in that game!

[HRiver 1,512]

This is probably my favourite Chelsea game

Im worried about the defence, unless Rafa selects Bertrand all off our backline would have played at Carrow Road.
