Xabi Alonso struck gold after the international break, fielding arguably his most balanced Chelsea starting lineup to date, but he could still make a couple of tweaks this weekend.
Football London's Jake Stokes suggests Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso could make two defensive changes against Everton this weekend. According to the writer's predicted lineup, Jorrel Hato and Marco Palestra could replace Pep Chavarria and Pedro Neto at wing-back to counter Everton's aerial threat and set-piece physicality.
Chelsea enter the fixture following a 5-1 victory over Bournemouth, while Everton recently drew 2-2 with Hull City. Stokes also argues that 36-year-old midfielder Jordan Henderson should retain his starting position alongside Moises Caicedo, with Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and Joao Pedro leading the attack.
