Traore Up Front? How Everton Should Line Up Against Chelsea

Everton have the tough task of travelling to the capital tomorrow as they take on Premier League leaders Chelsea. The Toffees are still chasing a spot in the top four and the result will be desperate to return to Merseyside with at least a point, but how should they line up against the Blues in order to make that happen.

Tim Howard is the obvious choice in goal and the defence speaks for itself. Seamus Coleman should be deployed on the right, Leighton Baines on the left and the formidable partnership of Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin in the middle.

The central positions of midfield are also taken, with Garry Barry and James McCarthy some of the first names on the team sheet. Or at least they should be.

I would have Steven Pienaar on the left of midfield and KevinMirallas on the other side, with Ross Barkley in between the wingers. Up top is the main decision to make I think, with Romelu Lukaku and Arouna Kone still out.

I would probably opt for Lacina Traore to make his full league debut for the Toffees after he scored against Swansea at the weekend.

Everton fans, how would you line your side up?
