PHIL NEVILLE has delivered a rallying call to his Everton team-mates ahead of tomorrow night's clash with Chelsea at Goodison Park. The Blues returned to training at Finch Farm yesterday with the skipper admitting Saturday's 1-0 derby defeat at Anfield still hurts. It ended their nine-match unbeaten league run stretching back to November, but Neville believes David Moyes' side are ready to take out their frustration on the Premier League leaders. Carlo Ancelotti's side will arrive on a high following their 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday, but Neville insists the Blues have nothing to fear after the thrilling 3-3 draw when the clubs last met at Stamford Bridge in December. 'We need to lick our wounds, get back to the training ground and look forward to Wednesday night,' Neville said. 'Games are coming thick and fast at the moment and we can't be feeling sorry for ourselves. 'You've got to pick yourself up and get on with it. We've got to raise ourselves for another massive game at Goodison. 'We've been showing an outstanding level of performance in the Premier League and we can take a lot of positives from the run that we've been on. 'I don't think we should be frightened of anyone at the moment.
