Ahead of the Premier League meeting between Chelsea and Everton this weekend, we caught up with a couple of fans for their take on the match...

Chelsea fan - Harry Edwards

For the first time all season, Chelsea are unbeaten in six games and things are beginning to look better. The draw against West Brom could be taken with a pinch of salt given our recent negative results against them, but some problems still do exist.

We started the game well, but the players seemed to lose the extra step as it went on - possibly the Christmas period finally catching up. On Saturday we face a good Everton side, who will no doubt punish our faults with Romelu Lukaku firing on all cylinders.

We need to be on our game if we wish to get anything and the team needs to give 100 per cent for the full game, not just half. As has been the case for most of the season, anything is possible at Stamford Bridge, so I'm going for a close affair and a 2-1 win for Chelsea.

Everton fan - Gary Stevens

Watching Everton is truly never for the faint of heart, and this season's been no different - if anything, possibly worse for those of a nervous disposition than ever, with the 3-3 draw against Bournemouth proving that even a 95th minute goal isn't late enough to start celebrating.

Fortunately, Chelsea have been equally unpredictable this season, so it's not like Roberto Martinez and co. will be facing some kind of unstoppable juggernaut on Saturday afternoon. They've drawn three of their last five games as they squeeze back towards form, but they're definitely still giving up chances.

Lukaku, Deulofeu and Barkley should absolutely lap those chances up. With Tim Howard even managing to look like something more than a League One standard keeper in the 0-0 draw against City on Wednesday - a clean sheet! A miracle! - there are real reasons for cautious optimism at the moment. Just about.

Prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Everton
