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!

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.

Enzo came in the meeting room and said "I need all you tall fellers to be on defence"

On the ground, very questionable. In the air, quite capable

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

Not like a dyche team is going to play on the floor is it?

They could still be correct.. 

That's turning out to be a pretty shocking set of predictions across the board LOL.

We are conceding many goals today with that back line.

Probably the best XI he can select given the current injuries and Cucurella suspension.

I'm going with 5-1 Chelsea 🙂

This Gusto comes in to support Caicedo

Why not just play Veiga at LB, and Gusto at RB. You never know what you are getting with Disasi

Hopefully the version that has contributed to the team conceding just one goal in the 3 PL games he has appeared in !

Plus he can always get on the end of one of Enzo's corners again 🙂 

Dwight McNeal out is a huge boost. Everton’s main creative threat.

Now we just wait for an @axman2526 reverse jinx

It's Goodison Park and look at our backline....

This one will be an ugly, not enjoyable game.

Happy birthday @WeatherMan

Toughest game of the stretch. Easily a draw or a loss today. Hopefully we have some magic today up front.

So the posted line up has Gusto inverting from RB, meaning Tosin is the middle of our back 3?

McNeil being out means it might be true. Had McNeil played I am sure Gusto would have been LB, and he still might.

Shows Maresca thinks Veiga is nowhere near ready when, after Marc, he has selected Gusto, James and now Colwill out of position  ahead of him, even against a physical team like Everton.

Everton and 'creative threat' aren't two things I'd expect to see in the same sentence tbh

Gusto at LB

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.

Looks like the Job falls to Jadon Sancho.

Forgot Everton had Doucoure, he tends to be a player that gives us issues.

We also need to keep an eye on Ndiaye, watched several of his Sheff United Games. He is a tidy finisher and pretty quick. Cannot let him have space.

Has someone dropped the bomb ? 😂

That's what I am expecting. Disasi being withdraw vs Shamrock was a good indicator of this back 4.

Happy birthday pal.  Hopefully we make it a nice comfortable afternoon and cruise to victory too.

Disasi worries me

Come on Chelsea

Disasi worries me 

He’ll score today 

Gusto lining up at LB on my stream !

You know exactly how they’ll play - low block and look to counter.
