Everton line-up confirmed for Chelsea as Carlo Ancelotti makes midfield decision

Lucas Digne has returned to full fitness and will line-up to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The left-back comes into the side in place of Leighton Baines.

Elsewhere in the backline and as expected, Djibril Sidibe comes in at right-back with Seamus Coleman injured.

Bernard is the only other change to the side which started against Manchester United and the Brazilian is included in Carlo Ancelotti's starting XI for the 2pm kick-off, in place of Theo Walcott.

Michael Keane and Mason Holgate complete the defensive set-up with Jordan Pickford in goal.

Gylfi Sigurdsson keeps his place in midfield where he will join Bernard alongside Andre Gomes and Tom Davies.

Richarilson and Dominic Calvet-Lewin continue to lead the line, having been a potent strikeforce already this term.

Victory against Frank Lampard's side will end Everton's longest-running winless streak in the Premier League and keep a European finishing spot firmly in the crosshairs.

Starting XI: Pickford, Sidibe, Keane, Holgate, Digne, Sigurdsson, Gomes, Davies, Bernard, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Stekelenburg, Baines, Mina, Iwobi, Gordon, Walcott, Kean
