How Chelsea could line up against Everton

Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up for Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton.

Chelsea head to Everton in the Premier League this weekend boasting a return of five wins from five on their travels in all competitions.

The Blues played out a 1-1 draw with Krasnodar in a Champions League dead rubber at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, but they will be back to full strength on Merseyside.

Another victory on Saturday will lift Chelsea into top spot ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool's matches the following day.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Frank Lampard may set out his side at Goodison Park.

Chelsea are without wingers Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi for this weekend's match, but Lampard still has a number of other players to call upon out wide.

Timo Werner has been predominantly used out on the left since arriving in the summer, while Christian Pulisic is now back to fitness and likely to start on the right.

Lampard has a choice to make through the middle, with Olivier Giroud forcing his way into the side with goals in each of his last six Premier League starts.

The Blues' starting lineup is fairly settled elsewhere and the likes of Ben Chilwell, Kurt Zouma, Thiago Silva and Reece James across the back will be fully rested.
