Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll.

[April1970]

I think it will be a 1-0 win with a late goal and at least one red card for them.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

My guess would be that we see some referee payback with either a red or a penno against Chelsea. But of course that too could go either way after our complaints.
If we can come out strong and get a goal in the first 15 then they can be beaten. Too many 'ifs' in that thought though.

Likely for Lampards....

Pickford
Coleman - Mina - Godfrey - Mykolenko
Doucoure - Allan
Iwobi
Gordon - Richarlison - Grey
I hate to see Richy not out wide but Dobbin is not a CF type and Rondon is just mega-gash. Pity Simms is on loan really.

Chelsea are a very skilful team. Much more so than us.
What we have got is a crowd that will be right up for this if the players give us the slightest chance that they are not only up for it - but that everyone will be 100% focused and no stupid indivdual errors. I don't wat to see us try to kick them off the park. Hard as nails but fairness. We need balls of steel and massive hearts. We need to compete for every ball, concentrate every second of the game. Do not switch off. Give them nothing to shout about and break their spirit. It's in our own hands. Do not blow this opportunity. Everton can win this game.

Very pleased to see them go full strength this evening. Weirdly confident we’ll win on Sunday, though I’m not sure if it’s just blind optimism because we need to win.

Yeah said in other thread, a Chelsea win with a few niggling injuries will help us

Could do with a dodgy lasagne at their hotel…

Fight and win

Ain't beating Chelsea if they play anything like this on Sunday (of course Man. United doing their usual statues routine in central areas).

Even if they change their team have likes of Pulisic and Ziyech to come in fresh so one of those v Coleman isn't going to be a great watch.

Hope I'm wrong but Sunday is a point at best game and praying Burnley won't have won the day before.

 

[RomanReigns]

Man Utd at home with 4 attempts at goal v Chelsea so far and 33% possession

Should we be worried for Sunday?

not for me, i said it last week if Chelsea won at Man Utd people would panic saying they will beat us because of it, and if they lost at man utd people would say we will get battered again because of that - i feel we have a decent chance Sunday - that may change not long into the game

Looks like Kante went off injured so probably out for Sunday.

They really should've won. Different feel to Sunday's game so see how they start it.
