Team News: Maarten Stekelenburg back for Everton

Stekelenburg back for Everton

Maarten Stekelenburg has returned to the Everton side to face an unchanged Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this evening.

The keeper has recovered from a foot injury to take his place between the sticks, with number two Joel Robles dropping down to the bench.

Phil Jagielka also returns to the starting XI as manager Ronald Koeman opts for a five-man defence, with Kevin Mirallas dropping to the bench and Gareth Barry coming in for the suspended Idrissa Gueye in the middle of the park.

Ross Barkley and Yannick Bolasie provide attacking support for loan striker Romelu Lukaku.

Meanwhile, Blues boss Antonio Conte keeps faith with the same XI that delivered a 2-0 victory at Southampton last weekend as he hunts for a fifth successive Premier League victory.

Pedro, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa continue up front, while a four-man midfield comprises Victor Moses, N'Golo Kante, Nemanja Matic and Marcos Alonso.

Conte again sticks with a back three in his lineup, with Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta on patrol in front of Thibaut Courtois.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard Subs: Begovic, Aina, Ivanovic, Terry, Chalobah, Oscar, Batshuayi

Everton: Stekelenburg; Oviedo, Funes Mori, Williams, Jagielka, Coleman; Barry, Cleverley; Barkley, Bolasie; Lukaku Subs: Joel, Holgate, Davies, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Lennon, Valencia
