MATCH PREVIEW

If a week is a long time in politics, then an hour on football's transfer deadline day can be an eternity.

At 10pm on 2 September, things didn't look too good for Everton. Marouane Fellaini had delivered his transfer request in person in order to force a move to Manchester United and rumours of replacements were still no more tangible than the shadows of the reporters lurking at the gates of their Finch Farm training ground.

By 11pm, Everton were the window's big winners. Yes, Fellaini had gone, but even that move smacked of success.

Manchester United sheepishly declared the fee to be undisclosed but just moments later Everton triumphantly disclosed it - revealing that they had squeezed £4m more than expected out of a desperate United.

Tony Barrett of The Times memorably captured the mood when he tweeted that Everton had "effectively run United CEO Ed Woodward's undies up the flagpole to celebrate their victory".

Not only that, but Leighton Baines had proved every bit as loyal as Evertonians had hoped; James McCarthy, Gareth Barry and, most spectacularly of all Romelu Lukaku, had agreed to join (though he cannot play this weekend) and West Brom had parted with almost £6m for perma-sub Victor Anichebe.

In short, manager Roberto Martinez and chairman Bill Kenwright had played a blinder.

The mood at Goodison should be buoyant, then, when the Z-Cars theme blares out and Everton emerge to take on Chelsea.

If Everton grasp that mood and play the kind of high tempo, in-your-face football that has served them so well in the past, then the excitement will only escalate, much to Chelsea's discomfort.

If, instead, Everton play the kind of measured, slow-paced, possession-is-all game that turned 64% of the ball into 50% of the goals in their first three games, then there may be a feeling that an opportunity is being missed.

Everton are certainly learning to keep the ball; Chelsea will hope that they have not yet mastered quite what to do with it.
