It's a battle for fourth place, and the home team's
Chelsea
Lining up in 343, there was quite a bit of personnel rotation, with the three center backs remaining Zouma, Christensen, and Azpilicueta, the two wingbacks James and M. Alonso, and the double backs Jorginho and Kovacic up front with Odoi, Havertz, Werner
Everton played 352 with Keane, Holgate, Godfrey at center back, Iwobi and Digne on the wings, Allan and Gomez at the back, Sigurdsson in attacking midfield, and Lewin and Richardson up front.
Why do you say that luck is on Tuchel's side, because this game Everton is not good, it is clear that Anche's tactics have not been effectively implemented, and Doucoure did not go on, Doucoure this rigid midfield and tactical coordination of high players is Anche's hands in the midfield live chess, there are many times when the stalemate Anche are relying on Doucoure's sudden insertion or wide-area changes to score. The obvious absence of Doucoure made Everton unable to defend.

It's the ball that's the problem.

Concentrating his forces in midfield, Tuchel is using a move that has a bit of a similar feel to Guardiola in my opinion, and it's something that he's come into
Chelsea
The current God's Lord card after that is to put the two wingbacks in a position where they're not up and down so they're not too far out of position defensively, and offensively, M. Alonso and James are actually doing the work of the midfielders, though not as much as the

The first time I've ever seen him, he's gone straight to the back of the net, just like Cancelo, but he's not a big fan of it.
Chelsea
Let the precise delivery of the transmission of the ball from the starting point placed in the two wingbacks on the sideline, so that the delivery of the forward and catapulted, and the two back basically in the back to stabilize the position, Kovacic can only be timely up, the most important thing is that these two and the back of the three center backs must be formed in front of the two and the back of the three defensive formation!
This play is one that requires an aggressive run up front or else it will just keep bouncing the ball back, and Odoi's presence with Havertz solves that problem, as Odoi was originally in the
Chelsea
Having played for a few years, he's an aggressive runner and a player who can switch between wingers and midfielders, and while he's not a midfielder who can organize possession of the ball, all Odoi has to do is keep running up and down the pitch pulling the opponent's defense when the starting point is further back and wait for the opponent's side to be vulnerable and he'll literally sprint up from the edge, which takes a lot of energy, but Odoi is just great at But that's what Odoi's good at.
Havertz was even more active in this game, his running position is quite free, and as long as the distance is slightly open, his sudden big stride acceleration is able to rush into the penalty area at once, although he didn't finish the goal, but Havertz's blitz is the main reason why Everton will collapse today, it seems that Tuchel really knows how to use him.
Once this tactic was established, the players Tuchel had on hand to play in this half winger half midfielder position were Odoi, Havertz, Mount, and even Pulisic who all played comfortably here, and he could have four rounds of two on his hands, a position where you need to run up and down the pitch all the time to force the opposition down.

Then there are tons of players who can wheel and deal at the position
I don't think Anche didn't see this coming because that's the way Tuchel has been playing since he took over, and it's pretty obvious when he pulled Chilwell, who cost a lot of money, but reintroduced M. Alonso, except that Anche didn't seem to be able to do much about it because Doucoure didn't play and the Everton players didn't do very well in the game.
Anche lined up two strikers and let Sigurdsson play attacking midfielder, the intention of Allan standing back is very obvious, he still wants to play counterattack, using Allan's passing, can dominate the two strikers at the same time, and don't forget that Everton's left side also has a fast knife of Digne, Allan in long passes at least three points to pass, and Sigurdsson can steal, forward, and can return to supplement the defense area into three backs. and can go back to the back to supplement the defense into a three backs.
But unfortunately for Sigurdsson, he didn't play well, he went up for tackles with a majority of failures, and more importantly he didn't get back enough for this game, which immediately resulted in Everton not being stiff enough around the waist, and as a result allowed Havertz & Odoi to keep drilling Everton's defense down
Everton were actually losing on the edges, especially on the right side against the

On the other side of the ball, James was actually afraid to step up, and he was clearly tasked with keeping Digne at bay.
On Alonso's side of the pitch was Holgate, who was working with Odoi to challenge Iwobi and the fullbacks, and Gomez was supposed to be at the back on that side of the pitch, but that's where the problem came in. The combination of Gomez and Allan quickly turned into a one-on-one instead of a parallel position as the match started. Sigurdsson didn't pull back enough, leaving Allan alone at the back.
