History of the Chelsea v Everton fixture

Chelsea prepare to entertain Everton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 42 and lost only 14 of the 79 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stamford Bridge was just last season, in January 2008, the Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Cup match.
