Everton Preview: A Dire Month and A Dire Week

Chelsea have not had a good November. One win in five, three defeats, top spot lost in the League and at the end of a week where the country ground to a halt, FIFA scandalous World Cup decision, there was in part, some good news when the Boss announced that Legend, Captain Inspirational and our Leader John Terry returns to the side against Everton this afternoon at Stamford Bridge. 

Also returning after a three match ban is Michael Essien, but there is still no sign of Super Frank who is still struggling with injury, although the Boss said Super Frank could return against Tottenham next week.

'Anco' said, "Maybe it could be the last week to see him out, I hope next week, and it will be important for him to be involved in the game against Tottenham."

With Alex out for six weeks and JT regaining his fitness, 'Anco' hinted that Chelsea may get the wallet out when the transfer window opens in January.

He said, "We have to look just for the injuries. We have long injuries, Alex, Terry, and we can decide to do something in January but this month it is important to know the position of JT and Alex, and maybe in January we can move.

"I think this team has the same aim of the last season and has the same capacity and ability to reach the same objectives. I think we can win the League and be competitive in the Champions League at the same time. I am sure that we can come back to play and win the games as we did last season."

Everton are definitely without Arteta who is serving a three match suspension.
