Everton v Chelsea - 30th December

Everton had a very lucky 2-1 win away at West Ham in their last game thanks to the referee.
Fellaini should be back in the starting line following his 3 match ban for attacking Stoke's Shawcross.

Chelsea won their last game 1-0 away at Norwich thanks to another goal from the excellent Juan Mata
The Stamford Bridge side have been greatly improved since Benitez took over and he is now in line to take the job full time.

Any comments or predictions?

Poor old Rafael Benitez will probably be booed on Sunday by both sets of fans but he is the kind of manager who can take it on both chins.

Line ups

Everton:
Howard, Jagielka, Baines, Heitinga, Distin, Naismith, Pienaar, Hitzlsperger, Osman, Jelavic, Anichebe.

This one's underway....should be a thriller.

2-2 final for me

Everton score in the 2nd minute....Pienaar with a fine strike.

Everton lead 1-0 after 1 minute....what a start!

almost two nil after Baines hits the post....Chelsea are in trouble if they don't up their game soon

HT

Everton 1-1 Chelsea

The Toffees got off to a great start going in front after just 1 minute
when Pienaar fired them in but Chelsea improved as the half went on and Lampard leveled with a header just before the break.

FT

Everton 1-2 Chelsea
1-0 Pienaar 2'
1-1 Lampard 42'
1-2 Lampard 72’

Any comments on todays result?

Are Chelsea still in the title race?

Has Frank Lampard shown again that Chelsea would be mad to get rid him next summer?
