Werner back on Chelsea’s left as Pulisic misses out on trip to Everton

Timo Werner (£9.5m) is back on the left-hand side of Chelsea’s attack for a Gameweek 12 trip to Everton.

That’s because Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) misses out on the fixture entirely, absent from the matchday squad – although Frank Lampard did not mention there was anything wrong with the player in his pre-match press conference.

After scoring in the 3-1 win over Leeds, Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) gets a second consecutive Premier League start, keeping Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) on the bench.

Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) dropping out of the side means Kai Havertz (£8.3m) returns to the front-three, stationed on the right-hand side.

Mason Mount (£6.8m) joins Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) and N’Golo Kanté (£4.9m) in midfield while Chelsea’s defence, which has contributed eight goals and four assists this season, remains unchanged.

Carlo Ancelotti has named a somewhat patched-up side in light of recent injuries.

Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) takes up James Rodríguez‘s (£5.4m) spot in the front-three alongside Richarlison (£7.8m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) while Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) are named as the left and right wing-backs respectively.

Everton XI (3-4-3): Pickford; Keane, Mina, Holgate; Sigurdsson, Allan, Doucouré, Godfrey; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell, Zouma, T Silva, R James; Mount, Kanté, Kovacic; Werner, Giroud, Havertz.

      Reasonable to give you a captain option especially if you don't own KDB. I like Robbo but not convinced he provides value for money.

              long term its bad, I said to people previously that Foden and Jota are the same thing, rotation risks. But frankly I get bored of being sensible, I need a punt
              I wont cap him ofc, and I have KWP on the bench to cover no shows.
              I'll see how he does I guess and cross my fingers, the dream would be Foden starts, KDB benched and Foden hauls.
