The second of four Premier League matches to be contested on Sunday kicks off at 14:15 GMT, as unbeaten Chelsea welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge.
The release of the teamsheets brought positive news for Richarlison‘s (£6.9m) owners, with the Brazilian fit to start after having been an injury doubt in the build-up to Gameweek 12.
Eden Hazard (£11.3m) is also back in the Chelsea starting XI for the first time in the Premier League since Gameweek 9.
The Belgium international had been restricted to a 24-minute cameo against Crystal Palace last weekend and continued his recovery from a back injury with an hour-long run-out against BATE in midweek.
There was disappointment for Ross Barkley‘s (£6.0m) owners, however, as the England midfielder was only named among the substitutes for the visit of his former employers – Mateo Kovacic (£5.9m) replacing him in the centre of the park.
Pedro (£6.3m) made way for Hazard in Chelsea’s only other change to the team that defeated Palace.
Cesc Fabregas (£6.3m) has returned from illness and is back among the substitutes.
Marco Silva has made one, enforced alteration to his starting XI, meanwhile: Yerry Mina (£5.4m) in for loanee Kurt Zouma (£5.0m), who is ineligible to face his parent club.
The Toffees haven’t kept an away league clean sheet in 2018/19, with only four clubs having conceded more big chances on the road than Marco Silva’s side.
Chelsea (81) and Everton (65) were the two Premier League clubs who had registered the most attempts on goal in the four Gameweeks preceding this one.
No striker had recorded more big chances or shots on target than Alvaro Morata (£8.7m) during this four-match spell, meanwhile.
Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Morata, Hazard.
Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gueye, Andre Gomes, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison.
