Confirmed Lineups: Chelsea vs Everton

Chelsea has made nine changes to his lineup for tonight's League Cup clash against Everton.

Blues boss Antonio Conte had earlier confirmed that the likes of Kenedy and Charly Musonda would feature in the game, but there are also starts for summer signing Danny Drinkwater and 16-year-old Ethan Ampadu in midfield.

Eden Hazard has been left out of the squad completely, although first-team regulars Cesc Fabregas, Alvaro Morata and Pedro could provide much-needed creativity from the bench.

Chelsea lineup: Caballero; Rudiger, Christensen, Cahill (c); Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Ampadu, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Musonda. Substitutes: Eduardo, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Scott, Fabregas, Pedro, Morata.

Meanwhile, the Toffees have made six changes to their lineup with young graduate Beni Baningime earning his first-team debut. There are also starts for James McCarthy and Aaron Lennon, who barely got a run in under Ronald Koeman.

Everton lineup: Pickford, Baines, Williams, Jagielka, Kenny, McCarthy, Baningime, Davies, Mirallas, Lennon, Rooney. Substitutes: Robles, Keane, Sigurdsson, Niasse, Calvert-Lewin, Holgate, Lookman.
