Everton look value to get a draw at Stamford Bridge!

Everton visit Chelsea tonight for the Carling Cup semi-final first leg and they have a great chance of getting a result. Chelsea’s squad is severely depleted with the likes of Terry, Lampard, Cech, Essien and Drogba, amongst others, all missing. Everton’s 1-0 F.A. Cup defeat to League 1 Oldham has put extra pressure on them to come through this encounter and the Toffeemen secured two 1-1 draws in two visits to Stamford Bridge in 2007. They are best priced @ 5/2 with Ladbrokes to get a draw tonight and I think that’s the best value bet.

BET OF THE WEEK: Five of the last six Carling Cup semi-final first legs have produced two goals or fewer and I expect that trend to continue tonight. Eight of the last 11 meetings between the sides has also featured two goals or less. Under 2.5 goals are available at most bookmakers @ 8/11 and that looks a cracking bet, get on it!
