COME ON CHELSEA

There is previous FA Cup history between these two teams who will battle for a place in the 5th Round draw at Goodison Park on Saturday. Resurging Chelsea, Cup Holders and Double Winners, are beginning to find the form that saw a spectacular start to the season and Everton are simply very very difficult to beat at home.

No-one can forget the FA Cup Final in 2009.

Hot favourites, Chelsea were a goal down in fourteen seconds Saha, taking the record from Di Matteo for scoring the quickest FA Cup Final goal, before Chelsea battled back to win 2-1 and who can forget Malouda's thirty-yarder that clearly crossed the line, but was missed by the slow, fat assistant referee?

The two teams have already met this season in the League at The Bridge where Beckford plundered a late equaliser and obviously lessons were not learned as Everton DID exactly the same thing in the 3-3 draw at The Bridge last season.

Regardless of the fact that Everton took four points from Chelsea last season, Chelsea still won the title, then went on to lift the FA Cup for the 2nd successive season becoming Double Winners and therefore joining a small but very elite list and will go down in footballing history.

Chelsea's last visit to Goodison Park was February 2010 with Everton winning 2-1.

Prior to that defeat, Everton last beat Chelsea in November 2000 in the Premiership, so if you are looking for omens for a Chelsea win or draw, they are looking good.

Since that defeat in 2000 Chelsea have won six and drawn four (in all domestic competitions).

Ancelotti hinted that Super Frank will return.

He said, "Maybe Frank Lampard comes back and I have to decide if he will start from the beginning or during the game."

Everton's Jagielka is expected to return from a groin injury and 'Dangermouse' Tim Cahill is still away on Asia Cup duty with Australia.

Victor Anichebe could be unavailable with a groin strain.

The game is LIVE on ESPN, coverage beginning at 12.30pm (UK time) on Saturday 29th January.

I thought we were rubbish today despite the result

Everybody except Ramires and Cech was way below par

I always look forward to the second half in games because i know we don't play at all in the first half

Anelka whats happened to him he is far too slow with the ball and slows the game down

Drogba touch poor,Essien too slow in possession,Bosingwa not premiership material for me

We need to start quicker in the games coming up and don't rely on Kalou to get us out of jail all the time.
