Koulibaly and Sterling to start | Strongest Chelsea predicted lineup Vs Everton revealed
This Saturday night at Goodison Park, Chelsea and Everton will square off in an effort to bring home all three points. The Blues have lost many vital players this summer, but they have also made some key additions. As a result, the West London club would be eager to start this season off well by defeating Merseyside.
However, Raheem Sterling will most likely be given the assignment to spearhead the Blues’ offensive effort in the final third by Thomas Tuchel, who may set his squad up in a 3-4-2-1 system.
3-4-2-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence: Edouard Mendy will operate in goal for Chelsea as he looks to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes. Tuchel could name a back three of Kalidou Koulibaly, Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta for this game. All three of them will have to defend well collectively if they are to keep a clean sheet away at Goodison Park.
Trevoh Chalobah will offer cover for the defensive positions on Chelsea’s bench.
Midfield: Mateo Kovacic will anchor the midfield alongside N’Golo Kante as they try to dominate possession at the centre of the park. Marcos Alonso could get the nod to impress as a left wing-back while Reece James hopes to put in a productive display down the right flank.
Mason Mount and Kai Havertz will get a chance to catch the eye as Tuchel’s free-flowing attacking midfielders in the Everton half. Both of them will have to carry most of the creative workload for the visitors up top.
Jorginho and Conor Gallagher will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to impress in the second half if needed.
Attack: Raheem Sterling will spearhead Chelsea’s attack up top. The English speedster will be hungry to find the back of the net and put in an influential display when he laces up to make his Premier League debut for the Blues this weekend.
Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech should make up the numbers on Tuchel’s bench but might come on to make an impact in the latter stages if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.
