... a well-deserved point at Stamford Bridge and a very promising performance!

- that's just 1 defeat in 7 for us now in all competitions - W4 D2 L1
- and the 0-0 scoreline ended our 6 game run without a clean sheet

- it was our 50th League draw with Chelsea, home and away

- and it kept up our recent run of not beating them!

- we now have a W0 D2 L4 record in our last 5 encounters with them home and away in all competitions
- and we’ve only scored once in those 6 games and conceded 12 times!

- in the Premier League alone we also haven’t beaten them now in 6 meetings - W0 D3 L3
- that's since our 3-1 home victory in September 2015 courtesy of Steven Naismith’s hat-trick

- at least the draw ended our run of 3 defeats in succession at Stamford Bridge, though!

- but we haven’t actually won at Chelsea since November 1994 - W0 D12 L17 in all competitions
- that was when Paul Rideout scored our winner in a 1-0 Premier League victory

- just in the League our record at Stamford Bridge is W0 D11 L13 since that Rideout goal

- both are our worst current runs at any opposition ground!

- at Arsenal our overall away record is W0 D4 L21 since we last won away in 1996
- at Liverpool it is W0 D10 L10 since Kevin Campbell’s Anfield winner in 1999

- our full Premier League record at Chelsea is a pitiful W1 D11 L15 - F21 A50!

- but we’ve still never lost an away game played on November 11th - W3 D5 L0 in all competitions!

- the attendance at Chelsea was 40,345
- that's the lowest attendance for a Chelsea v Everton League game at Stamford Bridge since May 2001
- that came in 2-1 defeat for us, watched by 35,196 fans

- the match was on a Sunday
- we'd lost all of our previous 3 away Sunday games in succession
- and our record now in our last 13 away games played on a Sunday (all in the Prem) is W0 D3 L11
- in the last 18 in the Prem it is W1 D4 L14, with the 1 win coming at QPR in March 2015!

- and the match was also a 2.15pm kick-off
- it was just the 5th time we’ve had a Sunday game starting at that time!
- the first one was our first ever Sunday match
- a 0-0 draw at Goodison against West Brom in the FA Cup 4th Round in January 1974

- the others were at Newcastle in the Premier League in December 2002 (we lost 2-1)
- a 1-0 home defeat by Burnley in the Prem in October 2017
- and a 1-1 draw at Liverpool in the Prem in December 2017

- Jordan Pickford made his 50th Premier League appearance for the club at Chelsea
- all of them starts, and all of them in succession!

- he’s the 91st Everton player to make 50 Prem appearances
- and the 13th Everton player (and 5th goalkeeper) to have played 50 or more consecutive Prem games

- Tim Howard leads that chart with 210 successive Premier League appearances for us
- they were made between September 2007 and February 2013

- it was also Jordan's 15th clean sheet for us in all competitions
- he's now level with Bobby Mimms in joint 24th position on our Most Clean Sheets chart

- for Seamus Coleman it was his 226th Prem appearance for the club
- he's now level with Tim Cahill in equal 10th place on our Prem chart

- whilst Dominic Calvert-Lewin made his 33rd sub appearance for us at Chelsea
- he’s joined Peter Beagrie, Arouna Koné, Wayne Rooney and Yakubu in 20th place on our all-time subs chart

- and it was nice to see the return of Phil Jagielka!

- he was 36 years and 86 days old on the day of the Chelsea match
- that makes him the 24th oldest player in our history, the 22nd in the League

- Phil's Everton career now stretches to 11 years and 89 days
- that's the 23rd longest in our history

- Jags has overtaken an esteemed group of players on that list:
- Gordon West, Roger Kenyon, Leighton Baines, Brian Harris, Mick Lyons and TE Jones

- he's the 29th Everton player to have an 11 year or more playing career for us

- and so on to Cardiff at home on November 24th!

- we’ve never played Cardiff before in a 24th November game

- and we drew on our last outing on that date – 1-1 with Norwich at Goodison in 2012
- Sebastien Bassong netted a 90th minute equaliser for the visitors

- we’ve only ever lost once at home in the past in a November 24th game – W6 D4 L1, all in the League
- the one defeat came back in 1934 when Man City triumphed 2-1 at Goodison

- we beat Cardiff the last time we met – 2-1 at Goodison in March 2014
- Seamus Coleman was the hero, scoring our 93rd minute winner!

- we’ve won all of our last 4 home games against the Bluebirds, 3 in the League and 1 in the League Cup
- and we’ve lost 0 of the last 11 at Goodison – W8 D3 L0

- their last Goodison win was a 1-0 victory in December 1926

- 1 goal this time around would be our 50th against Cardiff, home and away, in all competitions

- it would also mean we have scored in 11 consecutive home games in all comps
- the last time we managed that was between October 2015 and February 2016

- if Seamus Coleman plays it will be his 227th League appearance for us
- that’s 1 more than Tim Cahill and Adrian Heath managed

- on our all-time Prem appearances chart Seamus would be in 10th position alone, 1 ahead of Timmy

- if Seamus starts the game it will be his 207th Premier League start for us
- that's the same number that Neville Southall reached!
- they’ll be joint 11th on that particular club chart

- oh, and if Michael Keane plays it will be his 50th appearance for us in all competitions!

- a win against Cardiff would move our current home League record to W5 D1 L1
- that would be our best 7-game home start to a League season in terms of points since 2002/03
- we were W5 D2 L0 then under David Moyes's management

- Neil Warnock is, of course, the manager of Cardiff City
- this will be the 6th different club he’s managed against Everton in all competitions, at all venues
- the others were Notts County, Sheffield Utd, QPR, Leeds and Crystal Palace
- Ron Atkinson leads that chart having managed 7 clubs against us in all comps

- there have been 5 penalties in all of our previous meetings with Cardiff – 3 to us and 2 to them
- we scored all of ours and saved both of theirs!
- the last one for us, converted by Roy Vernon, came in our remarkable 8-3 home League win in April 1962!

- oh, and there has never been a sending-off in any of our encounters with the Bluebells!

- the match is a Saturday game, of course

- we’ve won all of our last 3 matches home and away on that day of the week
- and we’ve lost 0 of the last 11 – W5 D6 L0

- at home we’ve lost just 1 of our last 13 Saturday matches – W7 D5 L1

- as for Saturday games with a 3.00pm kick-off, we’ve lost just 1 of the last 16, home and away – W10 D5 L1
- and we are unbeaten in the last 12 – W8 D4 L0

- we’ve also won the last 3

- at home, in Saturday 3.00pm matches, our current ongoing record in all comps is W7 D2 L0 in the last 9
- and W13 D2 L1 in the last 16

- in the League at home, we’ve lost just 1 of the last 21 – W15 D5 L1!
