A new day of the Premier League arrives and Everton’s illusions remain intact, despite the strong blows due to different absences. One of them, that of the Colombian James Rodríguez.
It is precisely those of Carlo Ancelotti that will have to overcome these difficulties to hit the table this Saturday when they host Frank Lampard’s powerful Chelsea at Goodison Park. Third of the championship against ninth.
In a previous press conference, Ancelotti released the bomb that nobody wanted to hear: “We have James out, he had a little problem in the game against Burnley.” The number 19 did not train in the week and therefore they have decided not to risk it.
Now, if you take care of the player for important games, what is the point of losing them too? Let’s remember that the ‘Toffes’ have played three games against the so-called ‘The Big Six’ (Tottenham, Liverpool, United), now Chelsea is coming, in a week there is Arsenal and in two the City.
In addition to the Colombian, absences are also suffered in the team lanes. On the right, Captain Coleman and on the left, Digne. Delph and the Ivorian Gbamin will not be available in midfield either. Five absences, three of them vital to the scheme.
The good news goes through Yerry Mina, who played an outstanding game last date against Burnley and therefore will most likely start in the already usual 3-line team.
On the other hand, after months of absence due to the pandemic, this Saturday Everton fans will return to their beloved stadium. The competition allowed the entry of 2,000 fans who will support their team in a key duel.
As for Chelsea, their numbers are extraordinary. They have accumulated 17 games without losing in all competitions and have scored 26 goals in their last ten meetings.
During the week they won the Europa League thus ending the group stage as first and in the Premier League they occupy the third box with 22 units. If they win and both Liverpool and Tottenham lose (or even draw), they will be leaders.
Thus, Frank Lampard will spare no expense and will put his best eleven to take all three points.

Everton: Pickford; Holgate, Keane, Mina, Godfrey; Allan, Doucouré, Iwobi, Gomes; Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin.
Coach: Carlo Ancelotti.
Chelsea: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Zouma, Chilewll; Havertz, Monte, Kanté; Werner, Pulisic and Giroud.
