Everton will be looking to make it four Premier League wins in a row when they travel to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Monday night.

The Toffees, who are currently fifth in the table, just one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, will again definitely be without the services of Yerry Mina, Fabian Delph and Jean-Philippe Gbamin through injury.

James Rodriguez, Seamus Coleman and Robin Olsen are all doubts, meanwhile, but there is a chance that Tom Davies could return in the middle of the park, having missed out against West Bromwich Albion with a knock.

There are not expected to be any surprises at the back, with Mason Holgate and Lucas Digne again operating in the midfield positions, while Abdoulaye Doucoure is a certainty to feature in midfield.

Davies, as mentioned, should start if he is passed fit, while there might also be a spot in the middle of the park for Allan, who was a second-half substitute in the 1-0 win over the Baggies on Thursday night.

Gylfi Sigurdsson provided the assist for Richarlison to register last time out, and the 31-year-old could now come into the starting XI, with Rodriguez unlikely to be fit to start.

There will not be any surprises in the final third of the field, though, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin set to be joined by Richarlison, who has netted in each of his last four league appearances.

Everton possible starting lineup: Pickford; Holgate, Godfrey, Keane, Digne; Doucoure, Allan, Davies; Sigurdsson; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
