so then .. will Chelsea be hit worse by the african cup of nations .. or will they rise to the challenge and fend off Everton in the first leg??

in my opinion Chelsea will be too strong for Everton and will pass through this test without too many problems.

Chelsea 2-1 Everton

Chelsea havn't exactly been top-notch recently. I reckon Everton can do them over the two legs and have a feeling it'll be a Everton v Spurs final. Would be something new

i think even with recent form and injuries Chelsea will scrape a win in the first leg .. and ... a decent win in the second

If we get beat then I'll pick the score floody has predicted.

come on Everton .... prove you can compete with the big boys ..

It's us thats been hit.... Little pienaar is not playing.

Oh well I suppose I can't complain now.

Everton just need a 1-0 home win in second leg

With no yak or yobo.

so then 2-1 to Chelsea after a second half injury time own goal by Everton handed Chelsea the advantage heading into goodison park

I'd fancy Everton to snatch a win on the return leg.

I've also a feeling we'll go out to Spurs this time and it'll be an underdog final.

i just watched the beginning of this match because i dozed off after few mins [3 am] lol
i knew right-phillips scored a nice banana-kick goal and it looked like hitting the post and got in
and j.cole's driblling a ball by himself into the penalty box but didn't make it and got a free kick instead ~ ~ [i need to check eurosports now ~ lol]

..shut it ....

Poor defending on that second goal.

Surely Arsenal boys are the under dogs?

I don't think they are considered underdogs due to their Finals appearance last year.
