'Gilmour masterclass part 2' - Chelsea fans delighted with Frank Lampard's lineup vs Everton

Chelsea are back in Premier League action this afternoon after their impressive win over Liverpool in the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

The standout performer in the game was 18-year-old Billy Gilmour, and he makes his first league start against Everton today.

The Scotland U21 international was superb in the middle of the park in midweek, and without Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, he has another chance to impress.

He will be in midfield with Ross Barkley and Mason Mount, with the youngster likely to play in the Jorginho role of the pitch.

Meanwhile, youngsters Armando Broja and Tino Anjorin are also on the bench, with the academy players having had excellent seasons so far.

And Blues supporters are thrilled to see Gilmour getting his chance to start in the Premier League for the first team.

 

Chelsea: Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso; Mason Mount, Billy Gilmour, Ross Barkley; Willian, Olivier Giroud, Pedro Rodriguez.

Substitutes: Willy Caballero, Andreas Christensen, Fikayo Tomori, Reece James, Tino Anjorin, Armando Broja, Michy Batshuayi.
