Everton have not won a single league game at Stamford Bridge since 1994

PRT: Stamford Bridge hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the Toffees, with their last league win coming in 1994. Under Ancelotti, Everton are an astute force capable of achieving feats that were previously unattainable in the wildest of dreams. Do you think Everton can end the 27 year long wait on Monday?

"Gabe: Do I think the Toffees can? Yes. This Everton side is more than capable of playing Chelsea off the pitch in current form under Ancelotti. Do I think they will? Not likely. As mentioned previously, Stamford Bridge has been a nightmare ground for Premier League clubs to visit this season. Everton’s history and injury list does it no favors right now. Not to mention this is the worst time to play the Blues."

PRT: Coming to Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel has surely rejuvenated the side and continues to weld the team to extract the best out of the plethora of talent in the ranks. How efficiently can he devise a plan to get the better of Ancelotti’s Everton?

"Gabe: As odd as it sounds, I don’t think his gameplan will be impacted by Ancelotti at all. We saw an example of his tactical stubbornness against Manchester United. Tuchel has yet to dip into his bag of tactical tricks at Chelsea, instead electing to simplify the style of play and solidify the defence. That being said, he is incredibly familiar with Ancelotti’s tactics, having gone head-to-head with the Italian on numerous occasions. Long story short, Tuchel is going to play his brand of football and dare Ancelotti to devise a plan to stop his side."
