What They're Saying
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via the club's official website): "He [Juan Cuadrado] is selected. I know if he will start or not, but I won't say. It's normal, step by step, to be integrated. He needs time. I know Italy, and I know the difference between Italy and England. His formation, his development, his experience, everything was in Italy."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via Liverpool Echo): "He [Romelu Lukaku] carries presence, if I'm honest with you, because the opposition always put two defenders on him, so that is enough respect to show."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lukaku will have the opportunity to damage the title chances of his former club. The 21-year-old has seven goals and an average of 1.1 take-ons in 24 league appearances.
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Matic, Ramires; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Remy
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Robles; Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman; Besic, Barry; Mirallas, Barkley, Lennon; Lukaku
