Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Chelsea could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will hope to have Andreas Christensen back at his disposal for Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park.

The Denmark international did not make the cut for Thursday's draw with Manchester United due to sickness but could be fit enough to take his place on the bench here.

Ross Barkley is also ill but was never going to start against his old club, while Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi once again make up the Blues' three injury absentees.

Antonio Rudiger was fit to return to the backline at Old Trafford, and it would not be a surprise to see the German hold his place alongside Cesar Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva - assuming all three are given the green light.

Reece James should therefore continue in his wing-back role after an impressive showing against Man United, with Marcos Alonso out on the left after his stunning opener on Thursday night.

Jorginho and N'Golo Kante should both hold off the threat of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to start in the centre, and the same can be said for Timo Werner and Mason Mount ahead of Christian Pulisic further forward.

Romelu Lukaku is also set for a reunion with his old employers this weekend, but he should take his place in the opposition dugout as Kai Havertz continues to lead the line.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso; Mount, Werner; Havertz
