It’s crunch time in the Premier League – Liverpool and Man U have dropped points and Chelsea can capitalise with a win over Everton.

To try and make that happen, Liam Rosenior has switched things up a little.

Robert Sanchez is in goal, as expected. Malo Gusto plays instead of the injured Reece James at right back, Marc Cucurella at left back. In the middle, Wesley Fofana returns to the starting XI, and alongside him Jorrel Hato is picked ahead of any other centre back options, an interesting call with Trevoh Chalobah out.

It doesn’t say much for Tosin, Mamadou Sarr or Benoit Badiashile’s standing…

The rest of the team is just what we predicted – Romeo Lavia makes a first Premier League start since October, partnering Moises Caicedo in midfield. Enzo Fernandez is in the hole ahead of them. Pedro Neto and Cole Palmer are out wide, with Joao Pedro leading the line.

Here are the full team line-ups for Everton vs Chelsea (kick off at 17:30 GMT)
