Everton hero Stuart convinced Chelsea there for taking

Former Everton striker Graham Stuart is convinced his old club can beat Chelsea in their FA Cup tie.

Carlo Ancelotti's Premier League champions and FA Cup holders haven't scored in either of their last two games and only survived back-to-back defeats thanks to a stoppage time penalty save by Petr Cech from Clint Dempsey.

"Chelsea are hugely inconsistent, they didn't impress me one little bit at Goodison Park and really Everton should have put the tie to bed," Stuart told evertonfc.com.

"You just hope that doesn't come back to haunt us, but Chelsea have too many players that are underperforming and it represents a really good chance for Everton to progress.

"We all know they will have to be at 100 per cent to achieve that result because even a Chelsea that isn't playing well will still fashion chances."
