Carlo Ancelotti has spoken ahead of what he calls the biggest game of the season tomorrow against Everton. He said:
"This moment is not easy, it is not finished and we have to come back to win, we have to come back to play good football and it is very important tomorrow to win, we want to look forward and it will be a very important period in the season and we need to change. Tomorrow will maybe be the most important game of the season.
Everton is always a difficult team, they have good organisation, good players, We had a lot of problems last season, lost away, drew at home. They're not in a good moment, so it could be a tough game tomorrow.
Everything was wrong, We lost top of the table, didn't score a lot of goals but now the most important thing is that we want to close this period. We have to close this period with a victory. It is not so important to stay top now, it is important at the end of the season, and we must focus on this game.
I put pressure on my players for this game. I want to see everything we can do, character, personality, good play, because I think it is one of the most important games for us in the season.
It was so cold, but we didn't have a problem. We were able to train outside Wednesday and today, yesterday we went in the dome and everything was okay. No problem.
John Terry is able to play, he trained well all this week, completely, and didn't have a problem. He was in good condition and tomorrow will start.
Essien comes back from suspension, Zhirkov is unable to play tomorrow because he is not fit and Lampard - maybe it could be the last week to see him out. I hope next week, and it will be important for him to be involved in the game against Tottenham.
Alex had surgery this week, he cleaned his knee and needs six to eight weeks to recover. The other players are fit.
John Terry is without pain, without tablets, without injections. He is doing an individual training but [feels] no pain. It is very important because Terry is our captain and a player with strong personality, Above all at this moment it is very important to show personality, to show character. John Terry can support the other players to show these skills"
