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

[maccavennie]

If the fans can get right behind the lads from the off, really make an uncomfortable atmosphere for Chelsea whilst helping the players to run off any fatigue from Thursday night, I feel we will get a positive result

A boost to have a fully fit Garner available again and possibly even Onana. Two pair of fresh legs, much needed since we only played on Thursday night.

Gana has come in and done really well, but bring him on second half here, unless of course Onana isn't ready in which case continue with Gana and hope he's not too leggy.

It's a big choice between a bouyed Beto or a frustrated DCL and I wouldn't argue whichever way he goes on that one - although DCL works better with his all-round play for me. He just needs a goal.

The way Coleman was jumping around the pitch at full time suggests he'll be ok to start so again more fresher legs with him only playing an hour.

The rest of the team picks itself.

If Chelsea come to try to win the game we should be well up to hitting them on the break. Just don`t want to concede the first goal like we did against United (can`t believe they beat us 3-0 and lost today at home 3-0).

At least a draw would be good, so Burnley won't be able to go above us next week.

 

[Bigduke1234]

All season we’ve had no real options, is this the first week where Dyche actually has decisions to make?

 

[formerly manx toffee]

It’s got the feeling of a big game this. Feels like we would be putting a marker down if we were to win regardless of the 10 points.

 

[Sharpattack]

I’m not going to hazard a guess at the result, never mind the score. I’ve been wrong about every match this season. If I’d been right we’d be bottom with 2 points, and that’s before we got docked 10 points. Real Mystic Meg.

 

[Eggs]

…..they can play through teams with quality, Sterling is a real handful but sometimes they struggle. This might be more about which Chelsea team turn up.

 

[Victus]

Can see this being a very scrappy game of tired legs, Just hope the win has given us that extra energy.

 

[Walham Green Blue]

I’m pretty convinced you’ll beat us comfortably, although I wouldn’t be massively surprised if we turned you over either. I’d take a draw now but I suspect our lot will not be up for it, so 2-0/3-1 to you. Bah humbug….
