Chelsea usher in this weekend's league fixtures in the blue half of Merseyside, and here club historian Rick Glanvill and club statistician Paul Dutton look ahead to the lunchtime meeting at Goodison...

Chelsea’s visit to Everton in March produced a disappointing 0-2 defeat after a bright start. But as Wednesday against Aston Villa demonstrated, there is greater energy, urgency, and pace about Frank Lampard’s side, who are even more dangerous playing away from the comforts of home.

Although the Blues are yet to leave an opposition ground with a clean sheet in the league, we have bagged all three points in almost three-quarters of matches on the road, and 19 of our 30-goal tally has come outside of the Bridge.

We have also bagged the opening goal in 80 per cent of top-flight matches. In contrast, no side has conceded the lead to their opponents more than the Toffees, who have done so in five of their seven outings at Goodison Park, and 13 times overall.

Okay, Lets go there... see my signature below for link to stream the match

Sure win 4 chelsea
2-0 no doubt

Lets go there boys !

Chelsea better win this and get back in form.

New coach, New winning ginger!
Everton got this!

Blues got it

Normal 2-4 match... Cmon chelsea

1-3

i play chelsea straight win

Everton will likely win by 1-0.

Meanwhile, the only point of attention to day is when the Champions of England face the Greatest of England later today.

It’s going to be a serious game for lampard especially in selection.


For betstakers avoid this game by fire by force

Chelsea main focus is at the champions league they need to qualify from that group coupled with the fact everton sacking their manager so expect a new atmosphere at everton.

Kindly use Ajax game yesterday as a case study

I don talk my own

It's going to be a turf match

Everton Vs Chelsea ......double chance 12 or over 2.5

Chelsea must win

I've noticed that it's only EPL or Champions League games thread that make it to fp. How about La Liga or Serie A?

Been long I fronted as a Chelsea fan on Nairaland.

Sweetheart, hate us as you like, you will never finish above us in the league.

We're Chelsea, and hate makes us thrive.

A narrow win for the home team

Another banger

but all the hate chelsea has suffered in its entire existence hasn’t made it thrive as much as other apparent greater clubs (even in the same country).

Sorry!

seriously this forum isn't growing. For years EPL has graced the FP and mostly few top four teams back then excluding Liverpool and City matches but added recently but Nairaland and her mobs have refused to go beyond that to add La liga, Serie A and even Bundes liga etc. it's not much but we don't really like growing things in this part of the world ...

lampards team selection will determine his.

Wow! That's amazing to know.

If you're oblivious as to why we like our blood to run Blue, which obviously you are, it's because we might not have the heritage of Liverpool or United but we're modern in the football aspect, we get things done on the pitch.

Again, we've thrived more than you can see.

The Roman Empire is about the best any English team have ever enjoyed since the start of this millennia.

5 Epl titles.
1 UCL title , mind you, it's the first and only in the Great City of London.
2 UEL titles.
5 FA Cup wins,
3 League Cup wins.

No be mouth, we've thrived, stop hating on us.

What prophet, voodoo priest or Shaman told you that^^^ Just know he's a scam.

I am not a Chelsea fan but look, if Everton should as much as win this encounter by as much as half-nil, then know that it is as result of match-fixing.

The mere fact that Everton have sacked Marco Silva, won't change a damned thing.

Take it or leave it. CHELSEA is the most successful club in england in the past decade.

I honestly don't wanna sound misquoted yes we recognise the progress you've made as a club but show some respect to your elders they laid the foundation you're trying to attain... chicken shit no too reason I'm just bored on this weekend cause My Gunners are GONE.

DownChelsea:
A narrow win for the home team

Man City vs Man U? Of course, Manchester is Blue. But it's going to be more than a narrow win imo, no matter the kind of bus parked.
