Aiden McGeady claims Everton can rekindle their fading Champions League hopes if they beat leaders Chelsea on Saturday.

The Toffees have slipped off the pace in the race for a top four finish in recent weeks , but January signing McGeady says three points at Stamford Bridge will catapult them back into the mix.

"I think if we win, then we will be taken seriously," said the Republic of Ireland winger. "We've already beaten Chelsea at home this season, [and beaten] Man United away and played well against the big teams.

"In the last few weeks we have tailed off a bit, but it would be nice to beat Chelsea home and away.

"They have a team with world-class players, but our team is under-rated. There is every chance we could do something there."
