Everton vs. Chelsea: Probable Lineups
Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Armstrong; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry. Head Coach: Moyes.
Chelsea (3-4-3): Sanchez; Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill; Pedro Neto, Henderson, Caicedo, Chavarria; Palmer, Joao Pedro, Rogers. Head Coach: Xabi Alonso.

Xabi Alonso provided an update on the injury situation during a press conference: “Emegha isn’t ready; he’s been feeling a little discomfort. He’ll train next week, but he’s not yet 100% ready to play in the match. He’s 1.95 meters tall, he’s fast, he attacks the spaces, and he’s a threat. But he needs to be in top form, and right now he’s had a few minor issues, so unfortunately he hasn’t been available. As for Gittens, it will still take a few more weeks.”
