It really is getting tough to predict these line ups, with Frank Lampard recently opting to rest players and switching between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3.
Tammy Abraham has been confirmed as fit to play by Lampard, but the game comes too soon for a fit again Antonio Rudiger.
Lampard on injuries: "Abraham is good. He hasn't done much between games. We will make sure in the moment he is good. We have got Toni Rudiger match fitness training. Tomorrow is too soon but he is on the verge." #CFC

He has also suggested that he could rotate a little before a huge Champions League game against Lille on Tuesday.

So with that in mind, I believe Mateo Kovacic will be rested today, and Jorginho comes back in to replace him.
I also think Willian will get rested, with Callum Hudson-Odoi coming in to replace him. Fikayo Tomori could also come in to give Kurt Zouma a rest.
Everton are off the back of three straight defeats in the league and have just sacked manager Marco Silva as a result. So with Duncan Ferguson coming in as an interim, these types of games can be hugely unpredictable.
Predicted Chelsea Xl vs Everton (4-2-3-1) –
Kepa, James, Christensen, Tomori, Azpilicueta. Jorginho, Kante. Pulisic, Mount, Hudson-Odoi. Abraham.
