This is a must-win outing for the Blues now following a run of three defeats in a row that has seen them crash out of the Champions League and fail to capitalise on the stumbles in the top five race.

Chelsea Team News

According to PremierInjuries, Rosenior’s injury list has ballooned back after looking relatively slim in recent fixtures. He is still without long-term absentees Levi Colwill and Mykhailo Mudryk but they have been joined by club captain Reece James who suffered a tear against Newcastle.

Trevoh Chalobah went down hurt against Paris Saint-Germain and will miss a few weeks, Filip Jorgensen suffered a minor injury in the first leg and won’t feature until after the international break.

There are three doubts for the clash against the Toffees as Malo Gusto, Jamie Gittens, and Benoit Badiashile have minor issues that kept them out in midweek but they could be fit to feature here in some manner.

Chelsea Predicted Lineup

Injuries, match fitness, and rotation could cause this to look slightly Frankenstein’d going into the international break so our best prediction for the lineup is:

GK – Rob Sanchez

LB – Marc Cucurella

CB – Tosin Adarabioyo

CB – Wes Fofana

RB – Malo Gusto

DM – Andrey Santos

DM – Romeo Lavia

AM – Enzo Fernandez

W – Alejandro Garnacho

W – Cole Palmer

ST – Liam Delap

Everton Team News

Moyes has a lot of cards up his sleeve going into this one with three different players eligible to make a return. There are two guaranteed absences per PremierInjuries as Jack Grealish still out for the season. Tyrique George is also unavailable as he isn’t able to play against his parent club.

The three names who are up in the air are Carlos Alcaraz, Jarrad Beanthwaite, and James Tarkowski. The attacker has been out since late February and likely won’t be fit to start after so long off. The centre-back duo are the more important ones as the manager indicated they could feature in the squad, adding much needed depth to the makeshift back line the coach has been forced to use.

Everton Predicted Lineup

Injuries to already slim areas leave the Toffees with a lack of options so their eleven is a little easier to predict.

GK – Jordan Pickford

LB – Vitalii Mykolenko

CB – Jake O’Brien

CB – Michael Keane

RB – James Garner

DM – Tim Iroegbunam

DM – Idrissa Gueye

AM – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

W – Illiman N’Diaye

W – Dwight McNeil

ST – Beto
