Chelsea XI vs Everton: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury updates

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is available following suspension in midweek.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted Christopher Nkunku was a doubt for the visit to Goodison Park tomorrow despite being pictured training with the first team.

The Chelsea boss said about his French forward ahead of the game: "We are still assessing day-by-day, we will see tomorrow but I don't believe he will be involved. We will see if Malo Gusto can be available but, apart from that, no other news."

They will also be without Ben Chilwell, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana who all remain injured even though full-back Malo Gusto who has missed the last two games could return.

On the game itself, Chelsea are looking for only their sixth Premier League win having been completely dominated by Manchester United in midweek. The challenge this weekend is that they have not won back-to-back games at Everton for the last 15 years.

Chelsea have also conceded 24 goals in 15 league games, their joint-most at this stage of a season, along with 2015-16 and a top-four finish is slowly slipping away from them having failed to win 10 of their league games so far.

There are big calls to be made by the manager with striker Nicolas Jackson without a goal in his last two games and Armando Broja pushing for a start. In defence, he has to decide if he should stick with Marc Cucurella, who started at Old Trafford in place of Reece James or bring back his captain.

So with all that in mind, here is the Chelsea team we think Pochettino will pick tomorrow.
