Everton face a trip to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 42 and win only 14 of the 80 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premier League match.
