The last time Chelsea were stopped from scoring in the Premier League was back in August on the opening day, in a 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
Based on recent history, Everton could be seen as the favourites heading into the fixture, having won 7 of the last 10 meetings at Goodison Park.
However, with Chelsea firmly in the title race heading into the Christmas period, a 0-0 draw certainly leaves Sean Dyche as the happier of both managers on the day.
Here are 4 things we learnt from Everton 0-0 Chelsea:
-
Everton need full-back reinforcements in January
Despite a resilient defensive display from the Blues, it was still their lack of quality at full-back that stood out.
Ashley Young had another good game and was, again, a standout for his side.
However, he did receive his 5th yellow card of the season and is set to miss the Toffees' trip to Manchester City on Boxing Day.
With Young turning 40 years of age next year, Everton's reliance on the defender has to start to decrease soon, and the January Transfer Window is the perfect place to start.
Seamus Coleman came on as a second-half substitute and showed that he still has a lot of quality.
However, he too is reaching the twilight of his career and cannot be relied on in the long-term.
Vitalii Mykolenko made his 100th Premier League appearance for the blues against Chelsea, and put in a slightly improved performance.
Although, he was given a whole host of problems whilst defending Pedro Neto and often relied on Illiman Ndiaye to bail him out at times.
The left-back position should be the first that The Friedkin Group should look at improving, with Mykolenko being the only natural left-back in the squad.

The Blues rely heavily on McNeil's set-pieces
Everton's biggest win of the season came in their 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 weeks ago, with all 4 goals coming from set-pieces.
During the game, Dwight McNeil was Everton's biggest threat from dead balls and was essential to the 3 points.
The 25-year-old went off with a knee injury during the match, and his side has certainly felt the effects of his absence.
Despite getting a hard-fought point against Arsenal last week, it felt like Sean Dyche's side would not score even if the game lasted a month.
Conversely, the blues did have opportunities to score against Chelsea, with Illiman Ndiaye and Jack Harrison both having great chances to take all 3 points in the second half.
However, they did not manage to put away any of their opportunities, whilst their set-pieces really struggled in McNeil's absence.
Jesper Lindstorm was put on corners as a result of the winger's injury, but he failed to beat the first man despite Everton's areal prowess.
With more fixtures coming up which will likely require the toffees' to rely on set pieces, the return of Dwight McNeil is essential.

Armando Broja could be essential for EFC
Armando Broja returned from injury in recent weeks, making his debut in an impressive cameo in his sides 4-0 win over Wolves.
He was given 25 minutes during his side's trip to the Emirates stadium, which was a struggle due to the home side's dominance.
However, the Albanian International could not feature against Chelsea due to them being his parent club, which he is on loan from.
As a result, Dominic Calvert-Lewin started up front for EFC, but he struggled to make much of an impact in blistery conditions.
He did cause Chelsea's defence some problems but was a passenger for most of the afternoon.
Beto was brought on midway through the second half, but similarly failed to impact the game bar a hand full of decent opportunities.
Broja offers a more indirect approach to build up play, which is another option for Sean Dyche's side moving forward.
Beto and Calvert-Lewin have both also been linked to moves away from the club in recent weeks, which could hand the Albanian more chances in the side.
Everton's new owners will potentially be looking to bring in attacking reinforcements in January, which could also benefit Broja.

Jordan Pickford is one of the beat goalkeepers in the League
Despite the blues currently sitting 16th in the Premier League, their defensive record is one of the best in the division.
After today, Jordan Pickford has 7 clean sheets in 16 games this season, despite playing one less game than most teams.
Everton are currently joint first for clean sheets amongst Premier League, alongside Merseyside rivals' Liverpool. This is mostly down to Pickford's heroics.
England's number 1 pulled off an outstanding save in the first half to deny Nicolas Jackson from point blank range to keep it at 0-0.
Pickford missed out on the golden glove award last season to Arsenal's David Raya by just 3, finishing with a very respectable 13.
He is on track to eclipse that total this season, however, and the Englishman would be good value for it, too.
In recent seasons, Pickford has almost single-handedly kept Everton in the top flight, and does not receive the respect he deserves for it.
Overall, Everton can be considered good value for their point against Chelsea.
The visitors had much more of the play but on the balance of chances Everton may have just edged the contest.
