Having emerged from a tough spell, Everton aim for a third consecutive Premier League win as they prepare to host Chelsea at Goodison Park in an enticing Sunday clash.
Sean Dyche’s team comfortably defeated Newcastle United 3-0 on Thursday, contrasting Chelsea’s continued inconsistency highlighted by a 2-1 loss to Manchester United the day before.
4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted XI Vs Everton
Defence
Robert Sanchez will function in between the sticks for the Blues after conceding two goals in his last league outing. Axel Disasi will operate alongside Thiago Silva at the centre of Chelsea’s backline as they focus on keeping things tidy at the back throughout the game.
Reece James will return as the right-back while Levi Colwill hopes to put in another productive display on the other side as the left-back. Both of them need to be at the top of their game if they want to restrict the opposition from creating chances from the wide areas.
Midfield
Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo will play as the holding midfielders as they look to make life tough for the home team at the centre of the park. The gifted trio of Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer will operate just ahead of them as part of Pochettino’s attack.
All three of them have to find a way to create enough chances in the final third if the West London club are to emerge victorious in this away contest .
Mykhailo Mudryk and Ian Maatsen will have to settle for a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Nicolas Jackson will spearhead Chelsea’s attack on the offensive end of the field. He has to find a way to cause a few problems for the Everton defenders this weekend.
Armando Broja will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if required.
