Higuain recovers from illness to start up front for Chelsea at Everton

The last of five Gameweek 31 fixtures takes place on Merseyside this afternoon.

Chelsea are the visitors to Goodison Park, where Everton have only won one of their last eight league fixtures.

Gonzalo Higuain is fit to lead the line for Chelsea, having missed the win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday due to illness.

Higuain lines up in a front three alongside Pedro and Eden Hazard, who is the third-most-popular Gameweek 31 captaincy choice among “active” Fantasy assets.

Marcos Alonso returns at left-back at the expense of Emerson Palmieri, while Ross Barkley starts in place of Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

Seamus Coleman returns to the Everton side as Jonjoe Kenny drops out of the match-day squad.

Yerry Mina makes his first Premier League start of 2019 in place of the ineligible Kurt Zouma, while Jordan Pickford keeps his place between the sticks.

The Toffees are otherwise unchanged, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line ahead of an attacking midfield three of Richarlison, Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gueye, Gomes, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Alonso, Kanté, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard.

    If i make a transfer right now, then play my FH for gw32, will my “old team” now include the new transfer for gw33?

    1. Eddie

      Nope. If FH played team will revert to this GWs team.

    Giroud deserved to start really after midweek. Maybe he gets a run of games now.

  9. fusen

    is it too much to ask for Digne to be subbed now to protect his cleansheet and then hazard to get a goal? 😛

      • 7 Years

      Please ...

  10. fedolefan

    Finally Chelsea to play with XI now that Higuain has been subbed. Come on Haz and Luiz.

    My mini league rivals 8 man team nearly outscores mine with Mané (C) alone. Can't get anything right this season. Salah one of the main reasons.

  17. Sim Simma

    Higuain and Salah. The gift that keeps on giving

  18. Rainer

    Hazard goal now would be an 8 pointer.

    Reckon Everton players roll a dice pre match to decide how well they plan to play

  21. FC Hakkebøf

    (RP - buttomed)

    FH32 question:

    Is it worth it to triple up offensively on one of Che/City/Manu? This would mean having 2x Soton defenders (gk + wingback)

    Or should I go 2x attackers 1x defender from Che/City/Manu and 1x attacker + 1x defender from Soton?

    Thanks

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud deserves a chance to start games
