Who comes in for Ziyech? Select best XI for Everton clash from 2 options

Chelsea travel to Everton looking to continue their excellent league form. The Blues are currently 2 points off of Tottenham and Liverpool and sit in 3rd place.

Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi have been confirmed as unavailable by Frank Lampard for the trip to Everton.

Here are 2 ways Lampard can put out a team against Everton:

Option 1: Shore up the midfield

  • Kovacic would come in for Havertz to provide more solidity in midfield. His presence would ensure more control for Chelsea against a dangerous Everton side.
  • This would allow Pulisic all the freedom to make runs beyond Giroud, with Werner doing the same on the opposite flank.

Option 2: No compromise on creativity

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chilwell, Silva, Zouma, James, Kante, Mount, Havertz, Werner, Giroud, Pulisic

  • With Ziyech missing, Chelsea need an extra creative spark in the side. While Havertz has struggled a little initially, he has the talent to take any defence apart on his day.
  • The rest of Chelsea's team would stay the same as Lampard seems to have settled on his first-choice XI.

Which option would you choose, Blues?
