The injury that kept Eden Hazard out of action for several weeks not only prevented him from playing for Chelsea, it also limited Maurizio Sarri’s options in terms of changing his team.
Now the Belgian is back, and the Italian coach has some big decisions to make about who will play tomorrow against Everton.
We already know that his first choice goalkeeper is Kepa, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Marcos Alonso as the back four ahead of him.
In midfield, N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are locked in every week, despite the latter playing on Thursday.
That third midfield spot is still up for grabs, with Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley fighting for it. We think the Croatian gets the nod this time.
In the front line, Alvaro Morata is a cert, probably flanked by Willian and Eden Hazard – barring any unforeseen circumstances. Pedro is in contention, but will likely start on he bench.
