Here is how we believe Chelsea will line up for their clash with Everton:
GK) Thibaut Courtois
Although the Belgian was less than impressive against Aston Villa, he should keep his place against Everton.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic
The giant Serbian has been superb this season, and is unlikely to be displaced now.
CB) John Terry
There is a possibility of rotation at centre-back, but the captain’s position should be safe.
CB) Gary Cahill
Kurt Zouma may featured, but whether it will be in place of Gary Cahill is unclear.
LB) Cesar Azpilicueta
Filipe Luis has struggled to nail down a spot in the team, and we should see Azpilicueta retain his spot at left-back.
DM) Nemanja Matic
The dominant defensive midfielder has proved hugely important to Chelsea this season, and they have looked far weaker without him.
CM) Ramires
Although he didn’t have the biggest impact against Aston Villa this past weekend, he can be an excellent link between midfield and attack.
CAM) Cesc Fabregas
The former Arsenal man should make his return from injury, and may replace Oscar in the No.10 role.
RAM) Juan Cuadrado
The Colombian may be in line for his first start in a Chelsea shirt, although will be fighting for a place with Willian.
LAM) Eden Hazard
Hazard has enjoyed another fantastic season at Stamford Bridge, and is one of the first names on the teamsheet.
ST) Loic Remy
With Didier Drogba looking so ineffectual against Villa last Saturday, Remy should get the nod in Diego Costa’s absence.
