Chelsea travel to Merseyside this evening, desperate to arrest a slide that has seen them lose three of their last four matches in all competitions.
The Blues have endured a punishing week, falling at home to Newcastle before exiting the Champions League following a heavy aggregate defeat to PSG. Manager Liam Rosenior now turns his full attention to domestic matters, knowing that defeat at Everton would leave the club looking over their shoulders in the race for European qualification. Notably, Chelsea have conceded in each of their last eight league outings and will need to tighten up against a physical Moyes side.
Chelsea team news
Liam Rosenior is likely to continue rotating his squad, having already made a league-high 96 changes to his starting XI this season. Notably, Trevoh Chalobah is a major doubt after an ankle injury in midweek; should he miss out, the teenage Josh-Kofi Acheampong could earn a start.
Consequently, the manager will look to Enzo Fernández for leadership, who leads the team in defensive line-breaking passes (12) and chances created (13) in Europe this term. Notably, João Pedro remains the primary goal threat, having netted 11 away goals across all competitions this season—the most by a Blue since Tammy Abraham in 2019-20.
Robert Sánchez is expected to keep his place in goal behind a defence featuring Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo will partner Andrey Santos, with Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho providing creative support for João Pedro. Notably, Cole Palmer has found his scoring touch outside of London recently, netting four goals in his last two league games in the North and Midlands.
