After eleven weeks that barely felt like three, Chelsea are back and the new Premier League season is underway. It promises to be a most dramatic and strange one, given the first-ever winter World Cup coming up, but perhaps we can start it with something we also haven’t seen in some time — five years, to be exact — a win at Goodison!
Thomas Tuchel has stuck with his favored 3-4-3, and there are no real surprises in the lineup, but we have a few new faces who can hopefully make a great difference.
Here we go!

Pickford (c) | Patterson, Mina, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Doucouré, Iwobi, Gordon, McNeil, Gray
