Everton v Chelsea. 30th August at 17.30.

[DonOne]

gaz baz will bully as per last year, utilizing his heavy frame to hurt the chelsea midfielders. and sylvain will be ready to dunch those who slip through gaz's evil net. har har bring it on oscar, you'll not be bothering with motd tomorrow; stick with celeb bb

Any believe Costa will start? He had a problem with his hammy this week, no way they'll risk it.

If Costa has a hamstring problem it would be foolish of Chelsea to start him. Atletico gambled on Costa and his hamstring injury late last season and they ended up losing him for the Chl final and that probably cost them the trophy. Chelsea will have to start a 45 year Drogba against us.

I have adjusted (at the bookies) my 'Chelsea win' forecast to Everton win 2-1. I have heard Costa has a hamstring injury...has anyone else mentioned this?

What an awesome preview...thank you to the OP

Were you originally betting us to lose?

This is my first ever Everton game I'm going to... Any tips on what to do or not to do?

Good question. In NZ, there is a free weekly 'pick the results' gig whereupon you can win, with no money down, if you get ALL results EXACTLY right.
So, I did initially pick Chelsea...that has now changed.
Did I bet against Everton?....No, because I would NEVER lay any money down against my team

Possibly one of the most surreal BBC previews I've ever read.

Apart from the Dickie Atenborough tribute the line that says we have looked suspect on crosses into the box is bang on.

.....then we go and let Duffy go for £1.5m. Hmmmmmm

Does anyone know how Rom's toe is? I've been worrying about it all week. Had some explaining to do to the Mrs after talking in my sleep on Thursday!
