Kick‑off is scheduled for 5:30pm GMT (1:30pm ET) at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium. David Moyes is named as Everton manager for the fixture while Liam Rosenior is in charge of Chelsea, who arrive looking to halt a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions. Everton’s confirmed starting XI includes Jordan Pickford in goal, a back four of Jake O’Brien, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko and James Tarkowski, and Beto leading the line in attack. Chelsea’s starting lineup lists Robert Sánchez in goal with Wesley Fofana, Jorrel Hato, Moisés Caicedo and Marc Cucurella across the spine, and João Pedro leading the forward line. Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill, Trevor Chalobah, Reece James and Mykhailo Mudryk for the trip, while Malo Gusto and Benoît Badiashile are only now back under consideration after recent illness. Chelsea sit sixth on 48 points in the table while Everton occupy eighth on 43 points; a win for Everton would move them at least temporarily into seventh place.
