This is a Chelsea predicted lineup for their Premier League clash with Everton on April 26. This is the early kick-off on Saturday, the first the Blues have been in for a while due to Europa Conference League obligations.

The aim is still to dominate possession and recycle the ball but it has proven to be prone to counter attacks.<\/p>\nChelsea Recent Form & Tactics<\/h3>\n
