LAST WORD ON SPORTS
Absences
Key players like Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling are missing from this match. The English duo leave the team with fewer rotational options in the attacking end of the field. On a better note, N’Golo Kante returns to the squad after some time out with an injury.
After a run in the starting eleven as a centre back, Marc Cucurella finds himself on the bench. Mykhailo Mudryk also finds himself on the bench after starting in the win over Leicester.
Chelsea Confirmed Lineup
- Kepa Arrizabalaga
- Wesley Fofana
- Benoit Badiashile
- Kalidou Koulibaly
- Reece James
- Ben Chilwell
- Enzo Fernandez
- Mateo Kovacic
- Joao Felix
- Christian Pulisic
- Kai Havertz
Possible Formation
Graham Potter is likely opting to continue using the 3-4-3 with this setup. Felix will continue to occupy his spot as a roaming offensive player making use of any space created by Havertz leading the line.
James is occupying the right wing-back spot that usually brings out the best in him and makes the team a better-attacking outfit. Chilwell will occupy a similar role on the left wing, which he has done quite well since returning from injury. Kovacic and Fernandez continue to form a strong midfield partnership.
Everton Confirmed Lineup
- Jordan Pickford
- Seamus Coleman
- James Tarkowski
- Michael Keane
- Ben Godfrey
- Abdoulaye Doucoure
- Idrissa Gueye
- Amadou Onana
- Alex Iwobi
- Demarai Gray
- Dwight McNeil
