Sheffield United v Chelsea FC - Premier LeagueA win is essential for Chelsea on Monday night as they take on relegation-threatened Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Victory would keep the Blues in the hunt for a European place at the end of the season.

Any other result though would be another big blow for Mauricio Pochettino in his hopes to remain as Chelsea manager for the foreseeable future.

Here’s The Chelsea Chronicle’s predicted line-up for the Blues to face Everton.

Chelsea predicted XI

Djordje Petrovic hardly covered himself in glory last time out, although he will keep his place in the side on Monday.

Malo Gusto has enjoyed a nice week of training after missing the last game through illness, and will return to the starting side.Sheffield United v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Next to him, the seemingly ever-present Axel Disasi looks as if he may be injured, and therefore the out-of-form Benoit Badiashile will be looking to respond.

He will be joined by Thiago Silva, who found himself amongst the goals last time out against Sheffield United.

On the left, Marc Cucurella will continue despite Ben Chilwell approaching a return.

Enzo Fernandez is reportedly a doubt due to fitness, and therefore the position will be played this week by Conor Gallagher.
