Chelsea predicted lineup vs Everton - Premier League

Chelsea are back in action at Stamford Bridge on Monday night as they welcome Everton to west London.

Having played four games on the spin in front of a home crowd, the Blues were on their travels last weekend as they drew 2-2 with Premier League bottom dwellers Sheffield United. It was a result that arrived just days after their highest point of the 2023/24 campaign, depicting their woeful inconsistency this term.

Chelsea have a FA Cup semi-final on the horizon, but this is a season that many supporters just want to get out of. A second succssive mid-table finish appears inevitable and Everton are desperate for all three points on Monday.

Here's how the Blues could line up for their upcoming fixture under the lights.

GK: Dorde Petrovic — Having usurped Robert Sanchez in the depth chart, Petrovic has endured a difficult couple of weeks but he's set to continue between the sticks on Monday.

RB: Malo Gusto — Gusto has impressed in spurts this season and is a sure bet to continue in the side with Reece James still out of action.

CB: Thiago Silva — Silva was brought back in from the cold last weekend as he scored at Bramall Lane. Chelsea have been a disaster defensively in 2024 and the return of the Brazilian isn't likely to fix their woes.

CB: Trevoh Chalobah — With Axel Disasi a doubt and Benoit Badiashile forgetting how to defend, Poch will likely partner Silva with academy graduate Chalobah.

LB: Marc Cucurella — The chaotic Spaniard has been a regular as of late in Ben Chilwell's absence. The Englishman hasn't featured since the March international break.

CM: Moises Caicedo - It's been a tough debut season for Caicedo, who perhaps would have benefitted from drifting in and out of the side amid periods of indifferent form.
