Chelsea vs. Everton:;three key battles ahead of the showdown at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea would welcome Everton home as both sides square up against each other on Thursday night.

Both players would be keen to heed the instruction of their managers in this one. While maximizing their chances would be key ahead of this tie.

It would be a key matchup between these two sides as Isagoal.com takes a look at the key battles ahead in the tie.

Thiago Silva-Richarlison

It promises to be a battle best-termed experience (Silva) versus Youthfulness (Richarlison). Both star players would be key to what their manager would be ruminating ahead of the match.

And it’s very interesting to see how they come up against each other especially inside the Chelsea box.

Though the two Brazilians are fond of each other in the Brazil National team set up as we all know.

Jorginho – Allan

Here comes another Brazilian battle as Jorginho originally of Brazil descent (though he plays for Italy) square up against his compatriot.

Allan’s tireless work rate would be brought to the books in this contest as he gets set to face the Italy midfield man on this occasion.

Jorginho would be expected to win the battle owing to the quality of players around him most especially the presence of promising midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

While his imperious awareness and calculation could serve him right in this fixture.

Timo Werner – Michael Keane

The talented English centre back would contend for his space when he comes against German star Werner in the Chelsea – Everton match up.

Though Werner has been on the rise following his impressive showing in recent games he’s played in.

But Keane technical awareness should be able to keep him in check even as Rafael Benitez would be counting on his centre back knowing how key this match could be this term.
