Chelsea vs Everton: Talking Tactics
Mauricio Pochettino to name a 4-2-3-1 formation and ask his men to press high on the pitch. They will try to retain the possession and then create threats. However, their offensive line needs to do better.
Sean Dyche should opt for the usual 4-4-1-1 formation to maintain shape while defending. They might set up a low block and depend upon counter-attacks to find the openings.
