Everton vs Chelsea team news: Confirmed line-ups for Premier League clash – Giroud dropped and Hudson-Odoi benched AGAIN
Chelsea will be hoping to keep pace in the race for Champions League football when they visit Everton on Sunday afternoon.The Blues currently sit sixth in the Premier League table but can move back into the top four with an emphatic win against the Toffees.2

Sarri’s side are fighting to secure a top four finish this season

Any victory for Maurizio Sarri’s side will send them above Manchester United into fifth, but they have to score at least six times without reply to move ahead of fourth place Arsenal.Such an outcome appears unlikely, but Everton did concede three times to a Newcastle side notoriously poor in front of goal last time out, and questions have been raised over goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.There were calls for Pickford to be dropped for today’s match after his horror show on Tyneside, but Marco Silva has kept faith in his No.1.2

Pickford was widely criticised for his performance against Newcastle

Sarri had a big call to make as well, following Chelsea’s excellent 5-0 destruction of Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday.Olivier Giroud scored a perfect hat-trick in the Ukraine to stake his claim for the opportunity to start in the Premier League, but Sarri has benched the forward with Gonzalo Higuain coming in to start.The Chelsea manager has also frustrated supporters by dropping Callum Hudson-Odoi, the teenage winger, to a substitute role despite his superb performance against Kyiv in midweek.
