Chelsea opened the new Premier League campaign season with an away game against Everton. Thomas Tuchel named a very strong squad with his reliable new signings in it. The goalpost had Edouard Mendy while the defence had Kalidou Koulibaly, Thiago Silva and Ceasar Azpilicueta.
The midfield had Ben Chilwell, Jorginho, N’golo Kante and Reece James. The forward line had Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount and Kai Havertz. The manager used 3-4-2-1 formation. Frank Lampard also named a very strong squad for that encounter.
He named Jordan Pickford in the goalpost and his defence had Ben Godfrey, Yery Mina and James Tarkowski. The midfield had Nathan Patterson, Doucoure, Alex Iwobi and Vitalii Mykolenko. The forward line had Dwight McNeil, Demarai Gray and Anthony Gordon.
