Team news from Goodison Park.
Chelsea manager Jose Mouinho has included Diego Costa in his starting XI for this evening’s Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park.
There had been worries that Costa could be out of action for multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, but the problem was clearly nowhere near as bad as first feared.
Everton’s headline team news is that former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku starts against his old side.
