Adarabioyo To Start, Badiashile On The Bench | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Everton | OneFootball

Chelsea will entertain Everton at Stamford Bridge this Saturday afternoon as they look to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Blues secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Fulham recently which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Enzo Maresca will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one tweak to his first XI for this game. Tosin Adarabioyo could get a chance to play from the start of this contest while Benoit Badiashile has to settle for a spot on the Chelsea bench.

Defence

Robert Sanchez will feature in between the sticks for the Blues after he shipped in one goal in his last outing. Levi Colwill will function alongside Tosin Adarabioyo at the heart of the Chelsea backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.

Marc Cucurella will operate as the left-back while Trevoh Chalobah looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the right-back. Both of them will get the freedom to get forward and express themselves in the Everton half.

Benoit Badiashile will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Moises Caicedo will anchor the midfield along with Enzo Fernandez as they try to win the 50-50 battles in the middle of the park.

The gifted trio of Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke will play just ahead of them as part of the Chelsea attack. All three of them need to move the ball well if they want to expose the opposition’s defensive weaknesses this weekend.

Romeo Lavia and Jadon Sancho will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second half if needed.

Attack

Nicolas Jackson will lead the line for the West London club in the final third. He has to find a way to be a threat in front of the Everton goal.

Tyrique George will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if the Blues are in need of a goal by then.
