Team News: Diego Costa starts for Chelsea

Costa starts for Chelsea

Diego Costa has been named in the Chelsea starting lineup for this evening's Premier League match against Everton.

Reports earlier in the week had suggested that the striker would be ruled out for several weeks with an injury, but he continues to lead the Blues attack, with support coming from Eden Hazard and Willian.

Meanwhile, Everton hand a start to forward Romelu Lukaku, who will face his former club for the first time since completing a permanent move to Goodison Park this summer.

Samuel Eto'o, who spent last season at Chelsea, could also face his old side after being named on the bench.

Everton: Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, McGeady, Naismith, Mirallas, Lukaku

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Fabregas, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Willian, Costa
