Everton could make a big statement at Stamford Bridge on Saturday where they could leapfrog Chelsea with all three points.
David Moyes will be taking his side to another Premier League ground which has proven a real struggle for the Blues over the last three decades.
Just a few weeks ago, Moyes broke his Old Trafford curse, with what was a hearty performance from Everton against Manchester United.
Despite Chelsea’s poor form of late, it is going to be a big test for the Toffees in what will be Iliman Ndiaye’s final game before departing for AFCON.
Not many pundits are giving the Blues much hope, with Paul Merson predicting Chelsea to beat Everton at the Bridge.
It has not been a happy hunting ground for Everton over the years, but they have already shown numerous times this season that records are there to be broken.

“Everton can bother Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and I see them taking a point away after two wins on the bounce,” said the former Liverpool defender as he predicted a 1-1 draw for Super6.
Enzo Maresca is wary of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s recent form as he looks to inflict some pain on the club which sold him over the summer.
Although Chelsea’s form leaves a lot to be desired recently, Everton are going to need everyone on the top of their game to end their 31-year drought in west London.

However, Moyes is well aware of the threat which Maresca’s side are going to offer on Saturday.
“Their attacking players. They have four wingers and you never know which ones are going to play,” said Moyes.
“They also have one of England’s top players in Cole Palmer. They have a really big attack available to them, so that will be the biggest thing for us to deal with.”
Three points would be a massive statement for Everton, but a draw would certainly not be a disappointing result.
