The last of five Gameweek 31 fixtures takes place on Merseyside this afternoon.

Chelsea are the visitors to Goodison Park, where Everton have only won one of their last eight league fixtures.

Gonzalo Higuain is fit to lead the line for Chelsea, having missed the win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday due to illness.

Higuain lines up in a front three alongside Pedro and Eden Hazard, who is the third-most-popular Gameweek 31 captaincy choice among “active” Fantasy assets.

Marcos Alonso returns at left-back at the expense of Emerson Palmieri, while Ross Barkley starts in place of Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

Seamus Coleman returns to the Everton side as Jonjoe Kenny drops out of the match-day squad.

Yerry Mina makes his first Premier League start of 2019 in place of the ineligible Kurt Zouma, while Jordan Pickford keeps his place between the sticks.

The Toffees are otherwise unchanged, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line ahead of an attacking midfield three of Richarlison, Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gueye, Gomes, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Alonso, Kanté, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard.

    So I’ve had Valery a good few weeks now and he’s been the king of bench points recently.

    He’s not 100% nailed I’d caution but has two great things about him

    - attacking returns
    - he gets subbed early a lot so could get a 65min CS and then subbed off

      Thought of him for FH32. But then I would have to triple up on one of Manu/Che/City offensively. Not sure I want more than two from each team

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Any idea why he keeps playing when he has been so bad for such a long time?

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Had a good game in Europa after being dropped for last two league games, reckon he's gone again after this.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A goal at least today.. when I need it most.
