Rotowire• ·

Branthwaite (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Chelsea.

Analysis:

Branthwaite retains his starting role after recovering from the injury he picked up early in Everton's 2-2 draw against Hull City. The center-back has played every minute of his six Premier League appearances this season, recording 36 clearances, 11 interceptions, 11 blocks and six tackles. His availability provides an important boost to Everton's back line against Chelsea.
