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.

    Whomever talked me out of getting Felix and getting Havertz instead.

    Thanks!

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Many syllables though

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Make your own decisions then

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        😀

    4. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Havertz was logical.

      Should've gone Felix.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Comment history says no

    6. Prinzhorn
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Eye test always said Felix imo (I have neither so what do I know)

    7. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak Captain helps.

  2. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Never ever a Chilwell assis

  3. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    I sold Haaland for Havertz. Good times

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Havertz 2 points ahead.

  4. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    How many times has a defender scored a hattie in PL history? Asking for Chillwell's friend.

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    No way Chill assist, owner here

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Ditto.

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Offside goal.

  7. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Give that assist to Toney.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Could bet on it

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Puli G off

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I somehow read that as Gulf

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    I'm not dropping Haaland. Liverpool are toast.

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Of course you wouldn't drop him *now*. The time to drop him was before he blanked, not after.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Was never dropping him before this GW, either.

        1. gart888
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Did you field 11 players this week?

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Yes, but on a WC.

            1. gart888
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 28 days ago

              Fair enough. I could see keeping him on a WC this week. Kept him, Rashford and a Brighton mid benched?

              1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 28 days ago

                Estupinan, but yeah.

  10. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Koul. yellow.

  11. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Entering Reece James Danger Time

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Time to check who's warming up...

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Take the cs

  12. Prinzhorn
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Koulibaly and Badiashile both look clumsy today imo

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Shouldn't Pickford save that shot from Felix?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      He should, but he can't, cause he's a bit sh*t.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I think he was blindsided, but I don't recall that well

  14. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    2FT
    Toney Felix > Haaland Brennan
    Yes
    or
    No

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      No

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      You sure you want Haaland who doesn't have a DGW?

  15. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Chilwell on 2 baps

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Need a brace to smash it out the park

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Still amazed I’ve been initially set on Chill (c) and in the end talked myself into Toney

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      They're just one defensive slip up away from Chilwell having the same score as Toney.

    2. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Could still equal 2ney.

  17. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Having defenders from Newcastle and Brentford in your team has become a problem. They keep conceding one goal per match and it's so bloody annoying...

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I have double Brentford

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        And tripps

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Ditto

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Newcastle will come good imo. Just need to cut out the slips and blind backpasses

  18. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Havertz ..the ultimate troll ..

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Chilwell could’ve had mega haul with better finishing around him

  20. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    An assist will do Chillwell !

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I'll happily take 8pts tbh

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        aaaanf it's gone
