Chelsea make the travels to Merseyside this Sunday to face off against relegation candidates Everton in a must-win game for Thomas Tuchel’s men to keep their top four hopes alive.
The Blues drew 1-1 away at Manchester United earlier in the week and would be eyeing a swift return to winning ways to assure themselves of Champions League football next season.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Everton –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will start between the goalposts for the visitors to Goodison Park with the boss Thomas Tuchel not expected to shuffle around with his options at the back.
Antonio Rudiger is set to be joined by the much-experienced likes of Thiago Silva and the skipper Cesar Azpilicueta with Andreas Christensen working his way to full fitness from stomach cramps.
In the heart of the midfield for Chelsea, Mateo Kovacic’s injury-enforced absence means Jorghinho is the likely option to partner N’Golo Kante with Reece James and Marcos Alonso in the wing-back slots.
The attacking lineup should have Kai Havertz leading the line with the German forward joined by Timo Werner and Mason Mount.
