David Moyes reveal hints at one scenario only ahead of Chelsea vs Everton
Everton have a serious task at hand if they are to secure victory away to Chelsea.
Everton are unbeaten in their previous three away encounters in the Premier League, heading into Saturday’s clash with Chelsea, having won two of them.
The Toffees look set to be boosted by the returns of Tim Iroegbunam and Idrissa Gueye, both of whom have served their one and three-match bans, respectively.
However, David Moyes will need more than that if he is to put an end to his dismal record against the Blues.
Moyes chasing career-first vs Chelsea
Everton will go two points above Chelsea if they can seal all three points on Saturday, but to do so, Moyes will have to do something that he has never managed before – beat Chelsea away from home.
The Scotsman has failed to win any of his 20 meetings with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, only facing Liverpool more times away from home without being able to record a win.
With that said, Everton’s sudden rise in form will give Moyes hope that his side can end that record, having won both of their last two away games 1-0.
Everton haven’t won three away games in a row without conceding since 2008, when a 1-0 win away to Middlesbrough saw them achieve that feat.
However, Chelsea have a handful of injury concerns for the weekend that could play into the Toffees’ favour.
Liam Delap one of several Chelsea players to miss Everton clash
Liam Delap was linked with a move to Everton in the summer, before the Englishman went on to agree terms with Chelsea and complete his move to Stamford Bridge.
However, his season with the Blues has been marred by injuries, and he will miss Saturday’s clash with the Toffees as a result.
His injury sustained against Bournemouth will keep him out until the new year, with Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill among those also ruled out.
Wesley Fofana could return for Chelsea, despite being withdrawn in their previous encounter with a head injury.
