Chelsea hosts Sean Dyche’s Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday before the two week international break begins. Having won the last two Premier League games, Graham Potter’s men will want to end the month of March on a positive note with a win over Everton who are just one point adrift of the drop zone.
Chelsea has won three games in a row in all competitions, all while playing a 3-4-3. With the Blues on a win-streak, Potter has a decision to make, considering that he benched Benoit Badiashile in the Leicester City game, bringing him on in the 86th minute.
It seems like the more realistic path to playing in next season’s UEFA Champions League is winning the current one, but the Blues still need to win as many games as possible between now and the end of the season, even if to gather some momentum for next season, so here’s who we think Potter gives the go-ahead against Everton:
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Everton
Kepa Arrizabalaga (No. 1) Goalkeeper, Spain
Arrizabalaga has been Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper for the majority of this season and he has been superb. At an incredible 80% save rate, the Spaniard leads all Premier League goalkeepers with up to 15 league games. Edouard Mendy still seems to be having a problem with his finger.
