Everton midfielders Mikel Arteta and Leon Osman are doubtful for Thursday night’s Premiership clash against title contenders Chelsea at Goodison Park. Toffees boss David Moyes has not ruled out the duo for the key clash.

Arteta (stomach muscle) and Osman (hamstring) had missed last weekend's 1-1 draw at Birmingham, and the result meant that the Toffees are now five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool in the battle for the last Champions League qualification spot with four games remaining.

Everton (from): Howard, Wessels, Neville, Yobo, Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Gardner, Valente, Baines, Carsley, Osman, Arteta, Pienaar, Gravesen, Fernandes, Johnson, Anichebe, Yakubu, Rodwell.
