Here is how we predict Everton will line up against Chelsea this week:
Everton will head into their EFL Cup fourth round clash against Chelsea without Ronald Koeman at the helm, after the Dutchman was sacked this week.
The Toffees are now searching for a new manager, with under-23 boss David Unsworth likely to take the role of caretaker manager until a permanent replacement is found.
Assuming the former Everton player is in charge for Wednesday’s game, he would be expected to make a few changes for the clash, bringing in some of the club’s younger players who were bizarrely overlooked during Koeman’s ultimately doomed tenure.
Ademola Lookman, Tom Davies and Jonjoe Kenny may all feature and that would be great news for those Everton fans who have been crying out for changes in personnel for weeks now.
In early team news, Everton are definitely without Seamus Coleman, Ramiro Funes Mori, Aaron Lennon, Yannick Bolasie and Ross Barkley and it will be interesting to see how the team lines up against the reigning Premier League champions.
There could still be a couple of unpopular picks, with Morgan Schneiderlin possibly adding some experience in the centre of the park alongside Davies, but there will at least be plenty more pace and creativity in the side.
With that in mind here is how we expect Everton to line up against Chelsea on Wednesday evening:
