Match Thread Chelsea vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[JLW]

If rumours of Doucoure being out for the season are true we can kiss goodbye to 4th / FA Cup imo

Even if he's out just for this one will mean potentially needing to risk playing Allan again with Gylfi & Gomes which doesnt inspire confidence.

Hope Davies is back.

???? where is this talk??

???? where is this talk??

Bit of talk on social media that he's broken a bone in his foot so likely out for the majority if not remainder of the season.

No one reputable has picked up on it but there is often no smoke without fire when it comes to injury rumours and Everton!

 

[Blue Sky]

Is this our longest without win fixture ? Nov 1994 , I thought it might have been away to Arsenal but we last won there in 1996 .

 

[Carloblues]

Massive ask this one,.playing well Chelsea

Would snap your hand off for a point now but think these will beat us a couple to nill.

 

[Martin Alvito]

anyone said must win yet?

Probably not, as it isn't.

You could make a case for must-get-at-least-a-point, but that doesn't really roll off the tongue.

 

[UptheTofees]

They haven't lost under Tuchel

Time to change that

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Gonna have to turn up and attack if we’re to get anything out of this one
They’re too good to skate by on our recent performances

‘Tis the season of breaking records.

 

[CarlitoBrigante]

Another 1-0 win.

Think they were on a 17 match unbeaten run when they came to Goodison in December.

Our away form is very good as is our record this season against the top 7, W5 D3 L2

11-2 Everton win at the bookies and everyone tipping Chelsea. I think we'll come away with a draw at least. We need James and Davies back ideally though

Absolutely not. We'll do the exact opposite. Stay compact and hit them on the break or set piece

True that, they dropped massively after we beat them didn't they.

Playing a lot better under tuchel though, they can actually defend now which they couldn't with Frank

Absolutely, no reason to change the way we approach these away games. We have a set up and system that works. If we only come away with a point then that’s okay main thing is just trying not to lose if we can’t beat them.

Not playing better as such. Just differently. They were free scoring under Frank last time they came to us and the games were very open. Tuchel much more defensive. In theory it should be a bit easier to shut them out but much harder to pick up all 3 points.

Would take a draw which I think we're very capable of. Especially if we score first

5-2-1-2 for this game.
