Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that Emmanuel Emegha and Jamie Gittens are unavailable for the trip, while captain Reece James is recovering from knee surgery. Everton’s final selection remains subject to their matchday squad announcement; injury reports should not be treated as confirmed starting-XI decisions.

Any late injury withdrawal, change of formation or unexpected substitute could alter the match’s balance. The official team sheets are the authoritative source for actual starters and bench options.

Everton’s defensive organisation under David Moyes faces Chelsea’s movement between the lines, where Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and João Pedro can create chances. Chelsea’s attacking output also comes with defensive exposure: the Blues conceded 13 times over their opening six matches. This makes the actual in-game chances, field position and substitutions more informative than a pre-match score prediction.

Watch whether Everton can limit central progression and whether Chelsea create early opportunities. The live statistics on SportPesa Score provide the evolving picture after the opening whistle.

Kick-off is at 2:30pm EAT on Saturday, 17 October 2026.
