Chelsea predicted XI vs Everton: Frank Lampard’s possible starting line-up as striker aims to continue good form

Forwards:

Chelsea’s vast attacking options are slightly limited for this one with Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi both missing with hamstring injuries. However, in Olivier Giroud they have a man in fine form with five goals in his last two starts. The Frenchman has fought his way back into the team and will start again at Goodison Park at the expense of Tammy Abraham. In the wide areas, Timo Werner will return after being used as just a substitute in the week. The German, who is likely to start on the right, is the club’s leading scorer this season with eight goals in all competitions. On the left side, Christian Pulisic will be looking to rediscover the form he was in prior to getting injured in August’s FA Cup final.

Predicted Chelsea XI vs Everton: Mendy; James, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kovacic, Kante, Mount; Pulisic, Giroud, Werner.
