Chelsea 1-1 Everton

[MikeCFC 45]

This is a game we could of done without,especially with our Champions League 1st leg game on Tuesday.

Carlo will definetley have to reshuffle his pack as Torres is cup-tied and some players key for Tuesday night shouldn't be risked tomorrow.

Everton have nothing to lose but are gagging for a Europa League place next season.They will be up for this game.

I predict a very scrappy game and a late Chelsea goal.Extra time may be required.

1-0 Chelsea.

The changes Carlo will make will be:

Drogba 4 Torres

Kalou 4 Anelka

Mikel 4 Essien

Pfft, you told me Torres would score on Monday

I was anticipating he would be wearing his shooting boots as opposed to the slippers he used.

[HRiver 1,512]

I agree on resting Lampard, his legs should be more fresh for the CL clash. If we rest him tomorrow, then against Copenhagen he'll be at his best.

[NattyBlue 44]

It will be a full strength team of underperformers....

Josh will be on the bench and come on with 15 minutes to go.

We all know that's how it's going to go, can't rest JT and Ash! madness

[chrismada9 1,948]

He'll prob get stick if we win 3-0, 'oh look they do better without him' crap they sprouj

That's the Daily Mail for you... so anti-Chelsea! Thay'll write anything down just so they can have a dig at us!

[Krypt 241]

At Least Saha inst playing he always seems to score against us.

[True_Blue 469]

2-0 for the Mighty Blues

[chrismada9 1,948]

At Least Saha inst playing he always seems to score against us.

With United and Everton he has scored 11 goals against us!

we MUST get a win to restart our season ...then a win on Tuesday ...then perhaps .......

Expecting a win here. Everton are in poor shape and Drogba will (hopefully) be trying to impress.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

According to the BBC, David Luiz is also ineligible, make of it what you will

[LDN Blue 7,903]

No Luiz or Torres, but 4-4-2. Bold.

Cech

Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole

Mikel

Ramires - Essien - Lampard

Kalou - Drogba

Anyone agree?

[B.Jen <3 23]

its sad el niño cant play..but on the bright side...he will be fresh for leageu games!..

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I was anticipating he would be wearing his shooting boots as opposed to the slippers he used.

Ah, the classic William Gallas problem

[Cosmin 2,484]

No Luiz tomorrow

That's too bad. I was really hoping we'll see him again. For me it's a new motivation to watch Chelsea, knowing that Luiz is on the pitch. I think this guy is amazing, he's everywhere!

(However, it's sad that Luiz completed more passes than Frank Lampard in the last game. Frankie is really poor lately.)

Anyway, I hope we win tomorrow! I want Ramires and Drog to score!

I understand Torres played with pool, why is Luiz ineligible?

I understand Torres played with pool, why is Luiz ineligible?

New signings David Luiz and Fernando Torres are both ineligible, Luiz because he was not registered prior to the first meeting on January 29, and Torres for the same reason but also because he appeared for Liverpool in round three.
