Chelsea returned to winnings ways after defeating Leeds United at Stamford Bridge in a very entertaining game to remain in third place, two points behind league leaders Manchester City. The Blues took all three points courtesy of an injury-time winner from the penalty spot by Jorginho. The second of his penalties for the afternoon after Mason Mount had equalised for the Blues in the first half.
Having defeated Leeds United, Chelsea will be aiming for another win when they take on Everton Fc in their next premier league fixture. The Blues will go into the game with the sole aim of winning It in other to pile pressure on table leaders Manchester City and possibly reclaim their position at the top of the table.
On the other hand, Everton Fc will want to stop the Blues in their backyard in a bid to move up the leaders and avoid relegation.
The Toffees who themselves have not been in fine form and are struggling for the form will do all they can to defeat Chelsea.

The Toffees will go into the match on the back of a 3-1defeat in the hands of Crystal Palace and therefore will want to avoid a second defeat in a row.
The Blues have lost two premier league matches this season and will be looking to avoid another defeat when they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge.
So, in other to avoid defeat Thomas Tuchel should use this formation and players to ensure victory for Chelsea against the Toffees.
In Chelsea’s recent matches the head coach has made use of the 3-4-3 formation, but in this particular encounter, the gaffer should use the 3-5-2 formation. This is in other to make it difficult for Everton to take control of the midfield.
Everton defeated Arsenal because the gunners made it easy for them in the midfield. So to avoid the same mistake Arteta made Thomas Tuchel should start the game with a three-man midfield
Having said that, we will now look at the players the gaffer should use.
Chelsea is a team that is usually solid at the back since the reign of Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea is a team whose defence is usually impenetrable but in their last three matches they have conceded 8 goals and that is not good for a team that is challenging for trophies.
So in other not to concede against Leeds United, Tuchel should deploy the back three of Andrea Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, and Thiago Silva. Antonio Rudiger and Christensen It is a well-known fact that Thomas Tuchel favours a very tight and stubborn defensive line. So in other not to concede against Everton, the Chelsea coach should deploy the back three of Andrea Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, and Thiago Silva.
Andreas Christensen comes in, in other to checkmate Richarlison whose pace and strength makes him a threat to defenders. Also, Antonio Rudiger and Christensen will bring their agility and youthfulness, while Thiago Silva’s experience will be handy to help stabilize the defence.
For the two full-back positions, Tuchel should deploy the duo of Reece James and Sail Niguez. Although many will not be comfortable with the inclusion of Saul. At the moment Alonso has been identified by teams as Chelsea’s weak link and therefore it is not out of place to give Saul another chance since he will be playing alongside Antonio Rudiger who will cover him up.
In midfield, the gaffer should use Ruben Loftus Cheek, Jorgingho and Kovacic, but if the latter has not recovered from Covid – 19 then Christian Pulisic should take his place in the three-man midfield: with the American playing the number 10 role.
Upfront, Thomas Tuchel should deploy the duo of Mason Mount and Timo Werner, with Kai Havertz, Callum Hodson Odoi and Romelu Lukaku who is still struggling for match fitness dropped to the bench. And Edward Mendy to man the post.
With this formation and players, it will be difficult for Everton to defeat Chelsea.
