London, Nov 5: A resurgent Chelsea FC take on a spirited Everton FC on Saturday, November 5 at the Stamford Bridge in a crucial game week 11 encounter.
Antonio Conte's Chelsea FC have come back strongly after faltering initially in the season. Changing the formation to 3-4-3 has done wonders for the team.
Everton too have shown spirited performance under new manager Ronald Koeman. The Toffees are placed comfortably in the sixth position in the league.
Kick-off: 11:00 PM (IST)
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
The match will be telecasted LIVE on Star Networks and Hotstar
Antonio Conte is likely to retain the same starting XI who defeated Southampton last week. Pedro has become a regular started since the manager has adopted a 3-4-3 formation.
Even though he has players like Willian and Oscar it is unlikely that an in-form Pedro will be dropped from the starting XI.
Ronald Koeman, on the other hand, will likely bring star defender Phil Jagielka into the starting. The English centre-back was kept on the bench against West Ham United last week.
