Eden Hazard to start? – Predicted Chelsea line-up to face Everton

Published by

Chelsea progressed into the next round of the Europa League with a 1-0 win over Bate Borisov on Thursday.

Olivier Giroud finally broke his duck for the season with a goal in the 52nd minute, and Maurizio Sarri would make a number of changes to the side for the weekend’s clash.

We play at Stamford Bridge against a tough Everton team, who are ninth in the Premier League.

Chelsea  are just a couple of points behind leaders Manchester City and here is our predicted line-up to face the Toffees on Sunday.

Predicted Chelsea XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Maurizio Sarri

Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK)

The Spaniard played against Bate and should start between the sticks on Sunday. Kepa has grown in confidence with more games under his belt.

Cesar Azpilicueta (RB)

Our first-choice back four didn’t play in midweek and Azpilicueta should start at the weekend.

David Luiz

David Luiz (CB)

Luiz has been excellent under Sarri this season, and the Brazilian would want to put up another quality performance against the Toffees.

Antonio Rudiger (CB)

The German has been quality alongside Luiz, and he should keep his place in the side before we go into the international break.

Marcos Alonso (LB)

The former Fiorentina man has been excellent this season and has to be at his best when he goes up against Richarlison and Bernard.

Jorginho (CM)

The Italian played the entire 90 minutes in midweek but will start for Chelsea, unless he picks up an injury.

N’Golo Kante (CM)

The former Leicester City man has been a rock in the midfield for us and must start against a formidable Everton team.

Ross Barkley (CM)

The Englishman has been excellent in the past month and should face his former side on Sunday.

Eden Hazard (LW)

The Belgian surprisingly started against Bate and should keep his place in the team to face Everton.

Alvaro Morata (ST)

Sarri should rotate his strikers, as he has done all season, with Morata replacing Giroud on Sunday.

Willian (RW)

Willian didn’t play in our win in the Europa League and should start on the right for Chelsea against the Toffees.
