The 22-year-old Chelsea player who did not face Manchester United will be key today against Everton.

Chelsea will try to get back to winning ways in the Premier League today when they face Everton.

Their midweek escapades irritated the entire fanbase, as they fell short of a result against Manchester United.

Despite a superb individual performance by Cole Palmer in the first half, they were trounced 2-1 and displayed little fight.

The backline in particular was chastised, with their opponents repeatedly creating obvious chances to extend their lead.

It is reasonable to anticipate Mauricio Pochettino to make changes to his squad before today’s encounter against Everton.

Benoit Badiashile was notably absent from the squad in midweek, despite the fact that he has been regaining fitness with a string of starts in recent weeks.

Chelsea needs Badiashile today.

He was an unused substitution, with only Reece James being brought on to try to correct the errors at the back.

His inclusion today, however, will be critical in countering probably Everton’s best strength.

Sean Dyche’s team has began to match the narrative of his standard style of play, with their physicality working in their favor.

When the Blues choose to, they can also boast a tall side, and Badiashile would slot in wonderfully beside one of Axel Disasi or Levi Colwill.

This would very certainly be Thiago Silva’s first appearance on the bench in the Premier League.

However, with him approaching 40 years old, playing three games in seven days is likely to be too much for the Brazilian, and a chance to see the future as far as Chelsea is concerned would be the best way ahead today.
