ive got a £500 accumulator resting on Chelsea to win this game, so Everton winning is obviously the priority but that money would go some way to help me feel better haha

 

think the lads will show up for this and could get a decent win, im going for 2-1 with bily and seamus to net the winners

BIG-MATCH FACTS

The tie in context

• This is one of five all-Premier League fourth round clashes, which mean at best only half of the 20 top division clubs will qualify for the last 16.

 

Head-to-head

• This is the 161st competitive meeting of these clubs, and Everton are looking to register their 50th victory.

• The Toffees are unbeaten in three Premier League clashes with Chelsea (W1, D2), and took a share of the spoils from last month's visit to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea 1-1 Everton (Prem Lge, 4 Dec)

• Chelsea have not beaten the Goodison Park club, since their meeting at Wembley two years ago.

 

FA Cup records and best performances

• This is a repeat of the 2009 FA Cup final, which Chelsea won 2-1.

• This is the ninth time these clubs have been drawn to meet each other. Chelsea lead by six wins to two.

• The Merseyside club last prevailed against Chelsea in the fifth round in February 1956.

To do that he would have to play Arteta Wide and slot Rodwell in the middle alongsideb felli.

 

That just might be the plan Mike, or will Davey play Bily wide and have Arteta in a more advanced position, which is the easier option i suppose.
