Chelsea went from big favourites to win the league this season to a mere spectator of the Liverpool/Manchester United battle. The decision of letting Scolari go could've been precipitated and the signing of Guus Hiddink came too late. However Chelsea is now the only team with chances to clich the three major trophies this season: Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. But at the same time they have good chances to finish completely empty handed.

Tonight's match can be called a rehearsal for the FA Cup final and I'm sure Everton want to take this rehearsal quite seriously. It's the Toffees great opportunity to pass Aston Villa and take the 5th place on the table; not that they will have time to put up a fight for Arsenal's spot in the Champions League.

Everton have not won at Stamford Bridge in the last 13 Premier League matches and Chelsea have not lost to Everton in 21 matches in all competitions. Could that change tonight?

GOBSMACK PREDICTION: Chelsea come out with a narrow win tonight, 2-1
