Carlo Ancelotti expects a tough clash at Everton Football Club on Wednesday.

The Italian coach takes Chelsea to Merseyside to battle the Toffees who, despite losing at Liverpool at the weekend, have been in decent form of late.

David Moyes’ men even claimed a 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, and Ancelotti knows his side need to take more than a point this time around.

“We need to win,” said the boss of the London outfit. "We need to win because we need to stay top of the table. It won't be easy because against Everton now it's very difficult.

“They were playing well in their previous matches. We have to pay attention. A lot of attention. It could be very important moment in the Premier League. It could be an important date."
