These are the Everton vs Chelsea predicted lineups for their Premier League clash on Saturday, March 21. This will include the latest team news from both sides following Liam Rosenior’s comments to the press and the latest updates from David Moyes. This is a must-win outing for the Blues now following a run of three defeats in a row that has seen them crash out of the Champions League and fail to capitalise on the stumbles in the top five race.

Chelsea Team News
According to PremierInjuries, Rosenior’s injury list has ballooned back after looking relatively slim in recent fixtures. He is still without long-term absentees Levi Colwill and Mykhailo Mudryk but they have been joined by club captain Reece James who suffered a tear against Newcastle.

There are three doubts for the clash against the Toffees as Malo Gusto, Jamie Gittens, and Benoit Badiashile have minor issues that kept them out in midweek but they could be fit to feature here in some manner.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup
Injuries, match fitness, and rotation could cause this to look slightly Frankenstein’d going into the international break so our best prediction for the lineup is:
GK – Rob Sanchez
LB – Marc Cucurella
CB – Tosin Adarabioyo
CB – Wes Fofana
RB – Malo Gusto
DM – Andrey Santos
DM – Romeo Lavia
AM – Enzo Fernandez
W – Alejandro Garnacho
W – Cole Palmer
ST – Liam Delap
Everton Team News
Moyes has a lot of cards up his sleeve going into this one with three different players eligible to make a return. There are two guaranteed absences per PremierInjuries as Jack Grealish still out for the season. Tyrique George is also unavailable as he isn’t able to play against his parent club.
The three names who are up in the air are Carlos Alcaraz, Jarrad Beanthwaite, and James Tarkowski. The attacker has been out since late February and likely won’t be fit to start after so long off. The centre-back duo are the more important ones as the manager indicated they could feature in the squad, adding much needed depth to the makeshift back line the coach has been forced to use.
Everton Predicted Lineup
Injuries to already slim areas leave the Toffees with a lack of options so their eleven is a little easier to predict.
GK – Jordan Pickford
LB – Vitalii Mykolenko
CB – Jake O’Brien
CB – Michael Keane
RB – James Garner
DM – Tim Iroegbunam
DM – Idrissa Gueye
AM – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
W – Illiman N’Diaye
W – Dwight McNeil
ST – Beto
