Everton have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 5 games. Only their 4-0 surrender at OT blotting the copy book.

Given 39 year old Ashley Young is their right back we really need a big performance from Sancho/Neto, whoever ends up on our left side.

Final point for the night, another reason I think Gusto starts at LB is to deal with Dwight McNeil cutting in. Maresca used this same tactic vs Liverpool and Salah.

Neto for 60 mins then madeuke for 30 mins should have Ashley Young creaking.

We have possibly the youngest squad in the Premier League whereas Evertons is amongst the oldest so i expect this ( hopefully ) to be happening all over the park.

Marescas teams are much better at seeing off medium quality opposition than previous managers, i think we can win this maybe by a margin, 3-1 to the Chels!

I want us to win this but I also need spurs to lose to Liverpool.  We can't be top by Christmas because the media will kill us with the stat of teams top by Christmas winning the league even though Liverpool would have played a game less.

 

The honest truth is we aren't even guaranteed top 4 so I dont get this title talk 

It's a great pity Crystal Tips got himself red carded for this one - I'm sure we'll miss him today.

Hope we nick it and the Spuds have a good one.

Match Day!

Come on Chelsea!!

Ellen White with a great prediction for that 4th place. I'd spy on her while placing the lottery tickets just to know what numbers I should avoid.

West Ham 4th is a wild prediction. 

Come on Up the Chels!

Time to Top the League!!

Now we just wait for an @axman2526 reverse jinx

Massive banana skin on his one hopefully we turn up and perform. 
 

COME ON YOU BLUES. 

Time for the Boys in Blue to give me the best Birthday present possible for my 70th today.  3 points and Top of the League,  even briefly will do it 👍

Happy birthday @WeatherMan! 

Happy Birthday!

Our form at Everton has been abysmal in recent years. 

 

We are conceding many goals today with that back line.

we will need to score at least 4 or 5 to win this today. I don’t trust that defence even if it had a brick wall in front of it.

Back 3?

Everton are rubbish going forward ONLY Southampton have scored less PL goals

Surely Disasi right back and Gusto left back

Disasi starting for a team that’s in a ‘title race’ is worrying BUT in Enzo we trust.

This Gusto comes in to support Caicedo

I thought Colwill at LB died with Poch?! Saying that I'm not sure what would be worse, Colwill at LB or Disasi at RB
