Chelsea at Everton

Emiliano Martínez has a concussion. Chelsea's Xabi Alonso said he left conscious and is having precautionary hospital tests: "I saw just one clip and we need to wait now." Pep Chavarría felt something in training and has a test on 18 October. Malo Gusto missed the game ill.

"He has personality, he's brave, and we have full trust with him." Chelsea's Xabi Alonso on Mike Penders, used in the cup games and in goal at Everton with Emiliano Martínez concussed. His first outfield change came in the 90th: "It's not a plan... The team was looking good."

Jorrel Hato, in for Pep Chavarría after what Xabi Alonso called his "little problem", got on the end of Morgan Rogers' pass for Chelsea's first goal in a clean-sheet win at Everton. The Chelsea manager said Hato "did really well" in the first game since.

Christian Nørgaard still has a way to go on fitness: "we're trying to get him some minutes into him," Everton's David Moyes said. James Garner, back from a groin injury and in the England squad, has "a little bit to go to get to his best levels, which he showed last year."

Merlin Röhl started for Everton ahead of Tyrique George, Brennan Johnson and Tyler Dibling to face Chelsea's Pep Chavarría, but David Moyes said "when we got here he wasn't playing". Röhl did better at right back, he said. Moyes hadn't seen Emiliano Martínez's injury.

Chelsea captain Reece James is out after surgery on a training injury. Xabi Alonso: "It's not going to be a 2-3 weeks thing. It's going to be longer." Emmanuel Emegha misses Everton with a knock. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is still a few weeks away. No other new injuries.

Moisés Caicedo, Jordan Henderson, Roméo Lavia and Valentín Barco are Chelsea's midfield options with Reece James out, Xabi Alonso said, praising Caicedo and Henderson against Bournemouth. He said the squad can cover four Premier League games and a cup tie before the break.

A back five without the ball is an option for Chelsea in the Premier League at Everton. Xabi Alonso, whose side defended in a 4-4-2 against Bournemouth, kept both shapes open: "It can be in a 4-4-2, it can be in a 5-2-3."

Jarrad Branthwaite picked up a problem "really early" in Everton's last game and David Moyes didn't commit on him for Chelsea. Christian Nørgaard could be used "at certain times if required" but Moyes doesn't know if he's ready to start. Vitalii Mykolenko has "a chance."

Tyrique George could displace Jack Grealish on the left, David Moyes said: "Absolutely. I think Tyrique's knocking on the door." The Everton manager added George can probably play on either flank, so his way into the starting XI need not run only through Grealish.

Jake O'Brien is "going to have to wait his turn and wait to see when the opportunity comes up for him," David Moyes said. The Everton manager said the centre-backs ahead of O'Brien, captain James Tarkowski among them, have played very well.
