Chelsea v Everton team news: James starts, Cucurella benched

678 Comments

The evening fixture at Stamford Bridge rounds off the day’s Premier League football.

Both Chelsea and Everton come into this match buoyed by positive results in the last two Gameweeks but the Toffees haven’t won away from home since October 1.

The hosts make three changes to the side that beat Leicester City last time out.

Benoit Badiashile comes in for Marc Cucurella at centre-half, Reece James returns at right wing-back at the expense of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Christian Pulisic takes Mykhailo Mudryk‘s place in attack.

Ben Chilwell, the most-bought player of Gameweek 28 with nearly a million transfers in, starts at left wing-back.

Kai Havertz, himself transferred in by almost 350,000 managers ahead of Friday’s deadline, is again part of the three-man frontline.

Everton, unsurprisingly, are unchanged from the win over Brentford.

GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Kepa, James, Fofana, Koulibaly, Badiashile, Chilwell, Kovacic, Enzo, Joao Felix, Pulisic, Havertz.

Subs: Bettinelli, Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Mudryk, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Cucurella.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey, Onana, Doucoure, Gueye, Iwobi, Gray, McNeil.

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Mina, Mykolenko, Maupay, Davies, Coady, Garner, Simms.

        Very undecided on captaincy next week though tbh. I wouldn't entirely rule out Haaland although there's quite a few doublers on the shortlist also

      I think there is a balance. If SGW players are in form and have the fixture then they are still options in a DGW. I remember a DGW a few years back where people totally loaded up on DGW players and Spurs assets like Dele Alli hauled. Things in the last GW could have been different if Brentford hadn't got that clean sheet.

      I'll have 3 Arsenal and Haaland for DGW29.

      I'm sorry but captaining Haaland against liverpool, who always give city a game and will be bang up for it, is just not viable when there are several good dgw options

    I'm pretty happy with this as a bench boost apart from maybe my Brentford assets. Don't really fancy Henry and Toney a slight risk with that yellow card threat looming.

    Only 1FT and a plan on bench boost. Assuming no inuries and other issues I think Henry out for a better defender is on the cards but not sure who. I have up to 5.4m to spend on that spot (keeping enough ITB for Toney to Haaland in gw20.

    Shaw feels like the obvious one but i'm not so SHAW about a united defensive double up.
