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.

        This says invalid code 😉

        Thanks

  2. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Should have played Patterson

  3. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Is that Clare Balding on the wing for Everton?

  4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    8 corners and counting.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      James assist imminent

      1. GinjaWhinja
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        No chance. They have all been terrible

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 day ago

          Sadly true.

  5. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Corners FC

  6. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Zinchenko or Trippier?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Honestly thinking both. Didn't see tripp today but zinchenko looked good last night

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Trippier was decent, put in decent crosses and corner kicks as well. Could have had an assist for Burn header.

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Zinchenko all day.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Saliba and Schar and save money?

    4. Khark
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      They're both incredibly good value at 5

    5. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Trippier on all set pieces wins it for me.

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Got a bonus from no attacking returns as well.

    6. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Trippier nailed.

  7. Bod
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Anybody else hoping for an Everton goal?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years

      Everton fans

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        This is what you'd call a defenders' half, and the baps bear that out. Chelsea not in their groove yet - lucky to be playing a side that can't score.

  8. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Rewatched Nunez's goal and it was a really clever flick to put it in, most people were calling it jammy.... I won't kneejerk him in for a hit but if he starts GW2, i'll use my FTs to jump on him asap

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Bound to start gw 2 I'd say

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      He did the same backheel through the legs attempt twice in a row about 3 minutes apart. The first one hit the keeper and the second went in. It wasn't jammy

    3. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Lol you need to go specsavers, he totally missed it and defender kicked it against him

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        watch again

        1. thattreblefeeling
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 13 hours ago

          No need, already analyzed and agreed in BT studio the defender hit it back off him

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Great goal. Keep rewatching the Fulham penalty and trying to fathom how VAR didn’t overturn it.

    5. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      He’s deffo made some start and can’t see him being left out now. Tempted by Kane to Darwin and bank the 2.5, Salah and Haaland are still there for captaincy anyways

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Danny Ward given Leicester's #1 jersey.

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Finally something to cheer about

    2. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Fabio Borges has Leciester double keeper. He knows. I'm gonna copy him.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        He copied me 😆

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    i had auto-renew off and u renewed it again

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      So bad

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      how is that possible

    3. Saka Punch
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      How do you turn it off. I think same thing happened to me :/

  11. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Any chance Shar's place is in jeopardy?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Think Botman will be slowly integrated into their team

  12. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Substitution for Kane:
    A. Darwin
    B. Mitrovic

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Can Mitrovic dive every week?

      1. It's Fergie Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        if that was Salah at Ainfield, you'd be screaming penalty

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Depends how Cucurella looks but he's definitely going to get some starts over Chilwell at this rate. Chilwell has hardly been in the game.

  14. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Koulibaly looks great

  15. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Thiago Silva casually defending a 1v2 goalscoring chance

  16. Khark
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Reece James has been horrific so far

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      excellent

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Wouldn't go as far as that. Corners haven't been as good - but he's stated to come a little narrower now which could help.

  17. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Sterling goal offside

  18. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Chelsea playing like Moyes' MU here.... Cross after cross going nowhere.

  19. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    SRERLINGGgggggggg OH!

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Offside, Sterling G, Kante A.

  21. germanyozil10

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      good to see 5atb punished... sorry 🙁 😆

      1. Cajunfit
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Agreed, I almost went TAA + Robbo, but my Diaz pick didn't amount to crap either.

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Kane to Haaland

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Still chance created for Jamesy there, yeah??

  23. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Raz goal offside after Pickford error

  24. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Bapanada.

    Finally sobered up. Where are all my points?

  25. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    James started with some bps, now they are gone.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      McNeil highest on 14, James next on 12?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Oh, not showing on livefpl

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        No he's on 2

  26. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    This Chelsea team is dead. No intensity, James looks overweight, Havertz and Mount anonymous.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      I agree, so far very appropriate description

  27. Cajunfit
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Bad as James is playing, he is sitting on 2 bonus atm

  28. Jon Snow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Not sure why I bothered with Mount, Chelsea look rudderless without a half decent striker/Havertz on form

  29. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Getting bored with corners.
