Chelsea predicted lineup vs Everton: Will Badiashile return as LCB in 3-4-3?

Joao Felix (No. 11) Right winger, Portugal

Felix likely starts again, but not necessarily on merit. Some say he has been good at linking the play from midfield to attack, and there may be a case to be made for that, but he has not done much of that in the past few weeks. Chelsea should be very hesitant to start discussing making his loan deal permanent. The Portuguese needs to get on the scoresheet and work on his finishing product.

Mykhailo Mudryk (No. 15) Left winger, Ukraine

Sterling is likely not fully fit yet, and Mudryk showed enough to suggest he needs more playing time. The Ukrainian played centrally against Leicester and it appeared to work well for the Blues. Perhaps, a floating and interchanging front three could be the answer to Chelsea’s attacking woes.

Kai Havertz (No. 29) Center forward, Germany

Havertz has been in good form, getting on the end of high quality chances, creating high-quality chances, and scoring goals. He has come under heavy criticism this season and some of it is merited, but he has been excellent in this win streak and has played a major part in it. His work rate in the final third, constantly getting involved in duels and unsettling the opposition defenses.
