Xabi Alonso will hope Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro can fire Chelsea to victory over Everton this afternoon.

Football London's Jake Stokes predicts Chelsea will start Cole Palmer in attack while leaving £70m defender Wesley Fofana out against Everton. Stokes anticipates manager Alonso will select an attacking trio of Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro to challenge an Everton side that remains unbeaten in the Premier League under David Moyes.
In defence, Stokes projects Levi Colwill, Maxence Lacroix, and Josh Acheampong will retain their places ahead of Fofana. In midfield, Jordan Henderson is predicted to start alongside Moises Caicedo, with Emi Martinez in goal and Pep Chavarria and Pedro Neto deployed as wing-backs.
