Match Thread Everton v Chelsea - team prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[allen]

Another game being broadcast in the U.K., there are 2 other games at 2 that day so probably. As well as the following week, that'll be 6(?) on the spin.

B.T. then or Prime. But it has been a while since we had a string of 3pm Saturday kick off's and that has a negative effect on performance.

We’re not on UK TV this weekend, as @Goat says.

We’re playing Sunday because we played last night.

Tough turnaround. Think we’ll look very tired since we can’t rotate much at all.

Side note, but I thought we absolutely dominated Newcastle, fitness wise.

It’s no coincidence all of our goals came at the end, the Trippier bonanza was partly down to our harrying of a knackered fullback.

Hopefully we’ve still got enough in the tank for Sunday.

It has been a long time since we have had a recognised starting 11 but the Manager looks to getting close.

8-1 to Everton. Mykolenko with all 8

 

[GoldenToffee]

Chelsea is a team with no heart, but plenty of individually very talented players that can turn it on or off at any moment.

If we play like we did in most of our home games we'll win.

There's enough recovery time between the games. Garner will come back in, Coleman will probably be fine to start and DCL will play.

2-1 to us, and we don't enter the bottom three again this season.

 

[Runub]

After last nights win we need to be careful not to get carried away.

Walk in the park this. 4-0

 

[maccavennie]

If someone had offered me 4 points from Newcastle and Chelsea I'd have snapped their hand off. A point would be decent, a win would be amazing.

Quick turnaround and it'll need the fans right behind them to help get them over the line I reckon

Difficult to get up for another big game so quickly but the game is certainly winnable. Hopefully we have the option to make a couple of changes if Onana and James Garner are back. Or at least options off the bench because we will need legs in the second half of this game.

Even another point would make it another very good week and keep the momentum going. We will create chances against their defence, the question as always will be can we take them. Even last night we were very clinical in the last 20 minutes but should have easily already had a couple of goals by that point.

Newcastle are only getting used to the extra travel and matches with being in Europe. They have an extremely tough run up to Christmas with europe next week and then an away cup tie the midweek after that. It's not that they can't put out a very strong team, it's their lack of rotation options due to injury that is costing them. Trippier's mistake just look like a player who was running out of energy, but it was our pressing that caused those mistakes. And our good play that punished those mistakes.

We also have an extremely tough run of games coming up and will need all the squad. Getting back Seamus, Onana, Garner, will be very important because we will need all of them, especially with a few players 1 yellow from a suspension. We played Thursday, now Sunday, then Saturday, then Tuesday, then Saturday, then Tuesday (Boxing Day), then Saturday, then Thursday (FA Cup). Then (hopefully) the following Tuesday if we can beat Fulham.

That's fairly brutal to be honest, and the week off for the winter break in Jan will be much needed.

We can absolutely roll Chelsea. Newcastle have way more fight and we outfought them without any trouble.

 

[Marius57]

wasn’t optimistic about getting anything from Newcastle or Chelsea and thought we would be relying on a result vs Burnley.

So 3 points ahead of expected. Get anything from Chelsea and we are flying.

 

[lieneverton]

Going to be some effort to win this after last night, but confidence shouldn't be in short supply.

With more rest I'd fancy us to win given Chelsea have been so dodgy this season. That said, a bit like us in some games, their performances have been a lot better than their results.

Would be happy with a draw all things considered, but think we might get done a bit due to lack of options to rotate.

 

[flibbyflob]

Hopefully make a quick start and get right into them from the off. They look a very average side considering the money spent and don't look a team where as we do.

Win and give us breathing space please blues.

 

[Davideeyore]

Should be another 3 points. Let's not get too c0cky or carried away.

Yeah. In to these blues
