MATCH DETAILS
Everton v. Chelsea
March 17, 2019
Goodison Park, Liverpool
MATCH PREVIEW
Everton will take on Chelsea in match day 31 at Goodison Park on Sunday. Chelsea will be hoping for a win to get their way back into the top four, but Maurizio Sarri knows it will be difficult for them to beat Everton at their home.
Chelsea have been stabilized in recent weeks after a difficult start to 2019, but the last few games has been difficult for the Blues, when they managed to score a late equalizer against Wolves, but later they demolished Ukraine-based Dynamo Kyiv by 8-0 aggregate in the Europa League. The Blues need to continue to their winning form to get into the top four while Arsenal and Manchester United are busy in FA Cup.
On the other hand Everton will be eager to bounce back from last week's devastating defeat. The Toffees lost 3-2 to Newcastle United last Saturday, losing after going up 2-0. Everton's attacking options have not been up to the standard, and they have won just four of their last 17 Premier League matches.
PREDICTED LINEUP
Everton: Jordan Pickford (gk), Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne, Morgan Schneiderlin, Idrissa Gueye, Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard, Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Chelsea: Kepa Arrizabalaga (gk), Emerson Palmieri, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta, N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Ross Barkley, Pedro, Gonzalo Higuain, Eden Hazard

COMBINED XI
PLAYERS RECOMMENDATIONS
Defender: David Luiz (8.5 credits): Luiz is one of the regular starting center-backs and is the heart of the defense for the Blues this season, scoring twice and assisting twice with the help of a role on set pieces. He is averaging 4.2 clearances per game and will have the huge role of stopping the threat posted by Toffees attacking duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Midfielder: Gylfi Sigurdsson (10.0 credits): The Iceland international is enjoying one of his best seasons, but his team continues to struggle to make the top half of the table. Sigurdsson's performances have improved tremendously compared to previous seasons, and he comes in with 11 goals and three assists in 30 matches.
Forward: Eden Hazard (10.5 credits): Chelsea will struggle without a strong performance from Hazard, who has scored just once in his last 10 matches. However, his overall contributions cannot be overlooked, as he has 13 goals and 11 assists in 28 league appearances.
Captain: Eden Hazard
Vice-captain: Pedro
