Mykhailo Mudryk starts, Enzo Fernandez concern – Predicted Chelsea team vs Everton

Bobby Vincent takes a look at the predicted Chelsea lineup for the Blues' crucial Premier League meeting with struggling Everton on Monday evening at Stamford Bridge

by · football.london

Chelsea are looking to bounce back from last weekend's draw – that felt like a defeat – at Sheffield United.

But while Chelsea are looking to return to winning ways, the injury situation is not getting any better. Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez have been added to the dreaded injury update in recent days.

Mauricio Pochettino has a load of tough decisions ahead of him for the visit of Everton this evening. But how will he line up? Bobby Vincent takes a look below.

GK: Djordje Petrovic

RB: Malo Gusto

Rested in Sheffield, Gusto looks a shoo-in to come back into the team. Chelsea really missed the Frenchman in South Yorkshire.(Image: Visionhaus)

CB: Thiago Silva

Silva returned to the Chelsea side against the Blades, and while he did not perform exceptionally, he did enough to make the XI against Everton. Especially given Chelsea's injury situation in the centre of defence.

CB: Trevoh Chalobah

Pochettino might well go with the same defence he went with for last weekend's draw. Chalobah has been impressive, on a personal level, since returning from injury.(Image: Mike Hewitt)

LB: Marc Cucurella

Ben Chilwell has been in training in recent days but it is doubtful he will be in contention to start. Cucurella has had a mixed time since returning from injury but is set to keep his place at Stamford Bridge.(Image: Crystal Pix/MB Media)

CM: Moises Caicedo

He's been far from his best recently, but Caicedo is a certainty to start against Everton.(Image: Visionhaus)

CM: Conor Gallagher

Gallagher may well have to drop back against Everton because of Enzo's injury. The England international has played more as a No.10 this season but could be used deeper for the visit of the Toffees.(Image: Marc Atkins)

RW: Noni Madueke

Madueke was not at his scintillating best in Sheffield but he still scored a beautiful goal. Cole Palmer is likely to start in the middle again which will allow a spot in the team for Madueke.(Image: Joe Prior/Visionhaus)

CAM: Cole Palmer

Chelsea's most important player. His spot in the side is not even up for debate.(Image: Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA)

LW: Mykhailo Mudryk

Gallagher played on the left against the Blades but Chelsea really missed some speed on that side. It's out of him or Raheem Sterling but logic would suggest Mudryk gets the nod given Pochettino's team selection in recent weeks.(Image: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC)

ST: Nicolas Jackson

Again, a given in this team at the moment. He needs a goal, though. If ever a player needed a goal, it is Jackson.
