Everton v Chelsea team news: Chilwell starts, Cucurella a sub

684 Comments

Everton v Chelsea rounds off a busy day of Premier League football.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 17:30 BST.

Chelsea’s line-up is identical to the one that took on Udinese last Friday, with one exception: the Barcelona-bound Marcos Alonso is replaced by Ben Chilwell at left wing-back.

New signing Marc Cucurella is among the substitutes, while Raheem Sterling makes his competitive Blues bow in a front three with Mason Mount and Kai Havertz.

Everton are also parading two summer recruits in the shape of James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil, who make Frank Lampard’s starting XI.

Dele Alli doesn’t get the nod up top despite Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Salomon Rondon missing out through injury and suspension, with Anthony Gordon initially starting as the nominal spearhead.

GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Mina, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Mykoleko, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gordon, McNeil, Gray.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz, Sterling.

        Iwobi has trophies and more international caps/goals.

          I think you get 1 bps for every unsuccessful cross (someone correct me if that’s wrong), otherwise wingers and fullbacks would be penalised for attacking.

    Kulu is an interesting pick. If the wingback situation is a mess, than he'd be a top 3 choice, obviously with Kane+ Son. But if Doherty and Perisic emerge, then it's a different story

    You have other 8.0 midfielders that are arguably the most important players in their side (Mount, Saka, Maddison), and then high-risk, high-reward players in Foden + Mahrez.

    The Richarlison signing was just strange. I'm surprised he wanted to stay in England and be a back-up at that. It's definitely put me off
