Everton vs Chelsea LIVE: Confirmed team news, kick-off time and how to watch on TV and stream

 Chelsea will be hoping to kick off their 2022/2023 English Premier League campaign with an sway win against Everton on Saturday evening.It's going to be an entertaining match between the two teams and Everton will be hoping to continue their impressive home win record against Chelsea.

Chelsea ended the pre season with a win against Udinese and will be hoping to continue their winning form against Everton. With the signing of Sterling, Koulibaly and Cucurella, the blues have one of the best squad in this season English Premier League.

Possible Line Up

Edouard Mendy will be starting ahead of Kepa against Everton. The Senegalese International remains the blues number one goal keeper and will be hoping to start the season with a clean sheet.

The Blues head to the North West having made two new signings in Carney Chukwuemeka and Marc Cucurella this week, in addition to Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly in the transfer window.

Of course, a familiar face will be in the Everton dugout on Saturday evening, and the fact Frank Lampard coached the Toffees to victory back in May will not have been forgotten by Blues supporters. Richarlison was the difference between the sides on that occasion but has since left for Tottenham, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin out of the clash due to injury.

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to overcome the Blues' awful record at Goodison Park in recent years. Chelsea have lost their last four matches away to Everton and only won one of their last eight - the squad will be desperate to put that right and get some momentum for the start of the season.

Thomas Tuchel gave little away in his press conference but there was perhaps a hint that Ben Chilwell is not fully back up to speed. Could that mean we see Marc Cucurella? One to watch out for.
