Team News: John Terry returns for Chelsea against Everton

John Terry returns for Chelsea and Aaron Lennon features on the Everton bench as the Toffees welcome the Blues to Goodison Park in their Premier League clash.

Chelsea have decided to recall John Terry following the end of his suspension as Jose Mourinho's men take on Everton in the Premier League this afternoon.

The visitors are to feature a frontline comprising Eden Hazard, Pedro and Diego Costa, while John Obi Mikel, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic will look to run the midfield from a little deeper.

As for the Toffees, Roberto Martinez has opted to keep returning winger Aaron Lennon on the bench, with Arouna Kone and Romelu Lukaku leading their attacking line at Goodison Park.

At the back, long-term Chelsea target John Stones finds himself marshalling the home defence despite a number of failed summer bids from Mourinho.

Everton: Howard; Coleman, Jagielka, Stones, Galloway, Barry, McCarthy, Besic, Barkley, Kone, Lukaku
Subs: Robles, Mirallas, Lennon, Naismith, Deulofeu, Osman, Funes Mori

Chelsea: Begovic; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Mikel, Fabregas, Hazard, Pedro, Costa
Subs: Blackman, Falcao, Kenedy, Remy, Willian, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek
