Iceland's Gylfi Sigurdsson will be up against Italian midfield maestro Jorginho on Sunday in the middle of the park. Although not technically a striker, Sigurdsson plays in the central attacking midfield position and is quite difficult to contain in dangerous areas. Chelsea manager Sarri was given a lot of credit when he brought Jorginho along with him and the latter even proved him right with some fantastic performances at the start of the season.

However, the holding midfielder hasn't had the best of times lately and will be itching to get a good showing against Everton. Jorginho will have the unenviable task of containing Sigurdsson and his runs into the box. On the other hand, Siggurdson will also have to man-mark the former Napoli midfielder and make sure he does not get space on the ball.


#1 Jonjoe Kenny vs Eden Hazard

Everton right-back Jonjoe Kenny, who is filling in for Seamus Coleman will have the most difficult task of the evening; of keeping Belgian wizard Eden Hazard quiert. Hazard will most probably play on his usual postition at the left flank and will come right up against the young 22-year-old Englishman.

A lot of responsibility lies on Hazard in the current Chelsea side. He has 13 goals and 11 assists to his name in the Premier League this year. He will be looking to wreak havoc and remains Chelsea's most dangerous weapon. Kenny will have no roam for error in the Sunday evening clash.
