Match Thread Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Sat Dec 13th. 3pm

[Davideeyore]

We won on penalties in cup in 2011.

2011. And as Bournemouth, we've only ever played them 22 times.

We drew, won on pens. and it was the cup not the league.

Winning it Saturday anyway

Our record at Old Trafford was abysmal as well…

"WAS"

Great post

Our record against all major sides, particularly away is terrible.

They tend to be quite good.

Chelsea v Everton 1970 Charity Shield. I was there. First time I saw Ev in the flesh. We won 2-1 with a clinical performance.

So was I, on a working holiday from Oz.
Do you remember Ball getting angry with a teamate - Kendall, I think. Not as violent as Gana and Keane, but I'd never seen us fighting before and hadn't again
until the other week.

Logic and the law of averages suggests that you should get at least a point and probably turn us over on Saturday, however I have a (probably irrational) feeling that we’ll turn in a decent performance and win. I’m usually a glass half empty when it comes to CFC match expectation so this is very strange, as you’re currently the better team. I’ve put a score on Everton to win (you’ve been backed in to 4-1 already) to ameliorate against disappointment, in case I’m (probably) wrong.

I don't remember that! The game was at Stamford Bridge not Wembley.

I agree, but Palace have gone to all these clubs and won. We were unlucky not to beat Arsenal in 9/10 season. I'd be happy with draw at Chelsea, getting draw against top sides is a good result.

Key conundrum for this game is do you bring in Gana back for one game before he goes the AFCON.

There's an argument to leave Charly, KDH and Jimmy there and have him on the bench.

They're gonna have to play there anyway and performed well as a 3 against forest so just leave em to it.

Yes, I know. It was at Stamford Bridge.
I didn't say it was at Wembley.

All depends if anyone has knocks, otherwise I’d play the best team and that definitely means Gana ahead of Alcaraz. Luckily for us Caicedo is missing and that will help.

I didn't say you did!

Don’t change a winning lineup

Ah the emotional hedge.

Nailed on draw now mate, you’ll be unhappy AND down money

Well I might stick a score on the draw too. That might be getting a bit silly though.
