[Teams] Chelsea vs Everton: Confirmed Line-Ups From Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be looking to keep the pressure on at the top of the table with a win when they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Maurizio Sarri has made several changes form the side that beat BATE Borisov in midweek with Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz and Marcos Alonso all coming back in to the defence with the likes of Gary Cahill and Davide Zappacosta making way.

N’Golo Kante rejoins Jorginho in midfield while Mateo Kovacic is given the nod ahead of Ross Barkley with Cesc Fabregas passed fit to return on the bench after a virus. Ruben Loftus-Cheek misses out with a knock.

Alvaro Morata leads the line up front with Eden Hazard and Willian in support with Olivier Giroud and Pedro dropping to the bench.

Everton have been handed a boost with Richarlison passed fit to start up front and he’s supported by Theo Walcott and Bernard.
