Blues duo set to return

Midfielders Frank Lampard (calf) and John Obi Mikel (hamstring) are in contention to return for Chelsea at Everton.

Full-back Ashley Cole served a suspension against Manchester United last weekend, but captain John Terry is still not fit from a knee problem.

Brazilian midfielder Ramires (knee) also remains sidelined.

Provisional squad: Cech, Bosingwa, Cahill, Ivanovic, Luiz, Malouda, Meireles, Essien, Torres, Sturridge, Romeu, Mata, Piazon, Lukaku, Hutchinson, Turnbull, Bertrand, Ferreira, Lampard, Mikel.
