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

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.

    Has Chelsea had a shot on target from one of these 150 corners?

    1. Khark
      • 8 Years

      They can't even beat first man, embarrassing

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years

        A performance like that deserves 2 bonus points

      It's a bad watch. Disjointed.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

    5. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I should have trusted my gut and gone with Van Persie.

    6. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Should have picked Senderos

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    James chance crested.

  9. jacob1989
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    That should be a red card for Holgate. Denied goalscoring opportunity

    Pickford’s decision making us atrocious. Why make him captain? 🙂

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I know right, why is Iwobi not (c)?

      1. ZimZalabim

    2. jacob1989
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

    3. Fantasy furball
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If you really have to get a Chelsea defender, get Cucurella. Surely will start next week

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        He played centre back in pre season.

  13. PartyTime
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    A) Collins (FUL)
    B) Neco (WHU)

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Interesting. I can't actually play D; needs to be a defender, but looks like he'll be my first sub then.

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      C

  18. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years

  21. dark91
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    1. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      And a week long question mark for Chilwell owners.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      haha you've got to laugh

  22. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    James on two baps makes zero sense, but as a owner i aint complaining

    1. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Deserves 3 😉

  23. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    54 points assuming BPS stays as is, Cancelo to play. If I break 60 points I’m happy!

    1. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      61 with Ederson and Cancello left. Nothing on the bench worth mentioning.

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Well done. That’s strong!

        1. All de Gea no iDier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Saliba and Kulu 😉

  24. jackruet

    Avg score?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      50

  25. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Bloody hell Tark was in that game, didn't even notice him

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      does that indicate a good or bad performance ?

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Good point. Only thing I remember was Mykolenko everywhere and Mina enjoying Raheem's backpack.

  26. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    deciding to drop arsenal and chelsea defence was quite a poor decision in hindsight

  27. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    7p James a good FPL performance but otherwise not so sure. Easy keep still.

  28. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    80 with Vardy (c), Rashford and KDB still to play.

    Don't have Salah.

    1. Libano
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      What's your team?

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      cap

    3. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Well done! 78 with Vardy left to play, we will feast tomorrow

      1. Evil Greg
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Well done you!

    4. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years

      Pope Mendy
      Coulibaly James Dier Romero Trippier
      KDB Rashford Kulusevski Martinelli Bailey

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        well done

        I withdraw my previous comment

    5. Khark
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      nice

  29. Libano
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    That "save" in the end from Mendy was a lovely point.

  30. squ1rrel
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Anyone beat 36 points with Ait Nouri (-1)?
