Everton vs Chelsea team news

Armando Broja cannot play against parent club Chelsea due to the terms of his loan move to Everton. Dwight McNeil faces a late fitness test but James Garner and Timothy Iroegbunam remain sidelined. The game may also come too soon for Youssef Chermiti.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will likely welcome back all of their big name players following something of a rest on Thursday night. Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, however, are injured and Romeo Lavia is a doubt.

Marc Cucurella is suspended, while Mykhailo Mudryk is facing a ban after failing a drugs test. The winger denies ever knowingly using any banned substance.
