Players to Monitor
Roberto Sánchez
Roberto Sánchez earned three points last Gameweek after conceding late goals deep into stoppage time against Brentford.
With 55 points this season, Sánchez ranks fifth among goalkeepers, despite playing one game fewer than many of his peers. He was on the bench midweek against Shamrock Rovers, as Maresca gave Filip Jörgensen another start in the UEFA Conference League.
Sánchez's performances have come under scrutiny in recent weeks, but he stepped up with crucial saves to rescue Chelsea against Brentford last weekend. With Everton sitting 19th in goals scored this season, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Chelsea kept a clean sheet at Goodison Park this Gameweek.
Player to Sell
Mykhailo Mudryk
Mykhailo Mudryk has featured just seven times for Chelsea in the league this season, failing to register any goals or assists. The Ukrainian winger is now facing a lengthy absence from the team after banned substances were found in his blood during a routine check. Given the uncertainty surrounding his situation, it’s best to avoid the Chelsea midfielder for now until more information becomes available.
Captain
Palmer, along with Haaland and Salah, remains one of the top captaincy options this Game week. Palmer has been in excellent form, scoring 25 points in his last two away games, and Everton’s defense will need to pay extra attention to him to prevent further goal involvements.
With 42 points in his last four Game weeks, Palmer is an excellent choice for the armband in this encounter against Everton.
