Welbeck And Lavia To Start | 3-4-3 Chelsea Predicted Lineup Vs Everton
Chelsea will face off against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Blues managed to earn a dominant 5-1 win over Bournemouth recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Xabi Alonso will opt for the 3-4-3 formation and is expected to make a couple of changes to his first team for this clash. Both Danny Welbeck and Romeo Lavia could play from the start of this game.

3-4-3 Chelsea Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence
Emiliano Martinez will function in between the sticks for the Villans after conceding one goal in his last appearance. Alonso could name a back three of Levi Colwill, Maxence Lacroix and Josh Acheampong for this game.
Jorrel Hato will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench.

Midfield
Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition in the middle of the park and creating a few inviting chances in the final third.

Pep Chavarria will try to catch the eye on the left flank, while Pedro Neto hopes to prove his worth as the right-sided wide player. Both of them need to make some well-timed runs out on the flanks if they want to deliver some decent crosses into the Everton penalty area.
Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer will operate as Alonso's attacking midfielders. They will have to carry most of the creative burden for the Blues in the final third.
Estevao, Marco Palestra and Jordan Henderson will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed. However, Reece James is a slight concern ahead of this game.
Danny Welbeck will lead the line for the West London club up top. He has to find a way to be a real menace on the offensive end of the pitch.
Joao Pedro will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Chelsea are in need of a goal by then.
