Trevoh Chalobah warns teammates they need to fight to win against Everton
Chelsea’s games against Bournemouth and Leeds United were very physical, and Chalobah is expecting the Everton clash to be very similar.
If the Blues are going to come out as victors, they are going to have to fight, according to Chalobah.
Speaking after Chelsea’s loss to Atalanta via football.london, the central defender said: “It’s the same thing as we faced in the two previous games in the Premier League, Leeds and Bournemouth away.
“The physicality is going to be the same. We know it’s going to be a fight. In every game we have to show that fight, win our duels, bring that intensity.”
Has a Chelsea player ever scored a better goal than this?
More of the same on Saturday please, Alejandro!

The Club World Cup winners had a night to forget in Bergamo, falling to defeat after initially taking the lead against Raffaele Palladino’s men.
Nevertheless, Chalobah was still impressed with Josh Acheampong and his performance at the New Balance Arena.

Trevoh Chalobah has been Chelsea’s best centre-back this season
Chalobah is one Chelsea player Maresca will really be relying on when the Conference League holders take on Everton.
The 26-year-old has been Chelsea’s best centre-back in the current campaign. He has been very reliable for the Blues, missing just one Premier League match because of suspension, and has even managed to chip in with a few goals.
According to WhoScored, averaging 5.5, Chalobah is also making the most clearances per game in Chelsea’s squad. The England international is really good at dealing with danger.
He has turned his Chelsea career around. After being frozen out of the first team and being sent to Crystal Palace on loan last term, Chalobah has since gone on to become one of Maresca’s most important defenders.
Coming through the ranks at Cobham, he did not cost the club a single penny either!
