Antonio Conte has chosen to go with an almost unchanged lineup as Chelsea travel to Goodison Park to face Everton on Sunday.

The Italian manager has named his most preferred starting eleven this season and would be glad to have all his main players available at his disposal in such a crunch time in the Premier League.

Diego Costa returned to scoring ways last gameweek and is likely to be the main attacking threat again against Everton.

For Everton, Romelu Lukaku will be the attacking outlet as the Belgian would love to inflict some damage on his former club’s title chances. Lukaku has been linked to a return to Stamford Bridge in the summer and a clutch performance here could well lay the foundation of a potential summer move.
