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 month ago

    Is that Clare Balding on the wing for Everton?

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

    8 corners and counting.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      James assist imminent

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

        No chance. They have all been terrible

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

          Sadly true.

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

    Corners FC

  6. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Zinchenko or Trippier?

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

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

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

      Zinchenko all day.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saliba and Schar and save money?

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

      They're both incredibly good value at 5

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

      Trippier on all set pieces wins it for me.

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

        Got a bonus from no attacking returns as well.

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

      Trippier nailed.

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

    Anybody else hoping for an Everton goal?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years

      Everton fans

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month 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 month 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
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bound to start gw 2 I'd say

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

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

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

        watch again

        1. thattreblefeeling
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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 month 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
    • 10 Years

    Danny Ward given Leicester's #1 jersey.

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

      Finally something to cheer about

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

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

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He copied me 😆

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

    i had auto-renew off and u renewed it again

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

      So bad

    2. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      how is that possible

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

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

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

    Any chance Shar's place is in jeopardy?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think Botman will be slowly integrated into their team

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

    Substitution for Kane:
    A. Darwin
    B. Mitrovic

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

      Can Mitrovic dive every week?

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

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

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month 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. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Koulibaly looks great

  15. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thiago Silva casually defending a 1v2 goalscoring chance

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

    Reece James has been horrific so far

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

      excellent

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month 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_
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling goal offside

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

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

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

    SRERLINGGgggggggg OH!

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years

  20. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    Offside, Sterling G, Kante A.

  21. germanyozil10

    Am i crazy to use the wildcard so early?

    Ederson

    Ederson James Saliba Martinelli Haaland Darwin

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

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

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

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

    2. _Ninja_
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Haaland

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Still chance created for Jamesy there, yeah??

  23. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Raz goal offside after Pickford error

  24. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bapanada.

    Finally sobered up. Where are all my points?

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

    James started with some bps, now they are gone.

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

      McNeil highest on 14, James next on 12?

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

        Oh, not showing on livefpl

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

        No he's on 2

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

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

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

      I agree, so far very appropriate description

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

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

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

    Getting bored with corners.
