Confirmed Chelsea lineup vs Everton as Silva, Jackson and Sterling dropped, Broja starts
Pochettino makes four changes to the side that lost to Manchester United
Reece James returns to captain the side, while Benoit Badiashile also comes in to partner Thiago Silva in the back four
Maurizio Pochettino has made four changes to the Chelsea side that lost to Manchester United last weekend, with Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, Raheem Sterling and Armando Broja all coming into the starting line-up.
Thiago Silva, N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech are the players to make way, with the Brazilian defender being rested ahead of the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
James, who has been out with a knee injury since December, will captain the side in the absence of Cesar Azpilicueta, who is suspended.
Badiashile, signed from Monaco in January, will make his full debut for Chelsea alongside Silva in the centre of defence.
Sterling and Broja come into the attack, with the former replacing Ziyech and the latter taking the place of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Chelsea vs Everton starting lineups:
Chelsea: Kepa; James, Badiashile, Chalobah, Cucurella; Gallagher, Kovacic; Sterling, Mount, Pulisic; Broja
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Doucoure, Onana; Iwobi, Gordon, Gray; Calvert-Lewin
