Kepa starts, Barkley and Gilmour decision made: The Chelsea lineup fans want to see vs Everton

It is back to Premier League action for Chelsea as they host Everton at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

The Blues welcome Carlo Ancelotti’s side to west London as Frank Lampard’s men look to continue their push for a top four finish, with Chelsea currently holding a three-point advantage over Manchester United and Wolves in the race to qualify for Champions League football next season.

But Lampard has several decisions to make when it comes to his team selection for the game, with the Blues without as many as ten players for the game against the Toffees.

Chelsea will be without the midfield trio of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho, with the Italian suspended and the others injured.

Striker Tammy Abraham will also miss the game through injury, while Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi are also set to miss out, along with long-term absentee Marco van Ginkel.

In addition, defender Andreas Christensen and Brazilian forward Willian are doubts for the game.

With that in mind, Chelsea fans have picked the team they want Lampard to pick to face Everton.

And there are two changes from the Blues team that started in the 2-0 win against Liverpool, in the most popular XI picked by supporters, as can be seen above.

That includes starts for Reece James at wing back and Mason Mount in the forward three, with Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal again after his fine performance against the Reds.

Billy Gilmour is also included in midfield in the most popular XI picked by supporters after impressing against Liverpool, with Ross Barkley alongside him to face his old club.

In defence, the fans have gone with a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger, with Reece James and Marcos Alonso playing as wing backs.

The forward three in the most popular team selected by fans includes Mason Mount, Pedro and Olivier Giroud.
