Romelu Lukaku, a player allowed to leave Stamford bridge by Jose Mourinho, returns in an Everton shirt tomorrow.

A lot of the news conference is dominated by how fired up Lukaku will be and whether he has a point to prove.

Mourinho says: "He proves every weekend he is a good player. Nobody has any doubts at Chelsea that he is a good player.

"Why was he allowed to go? That's football, that's life. Players move on. He wanted to play all the time so I think he will be happy now."

Manchester United defender Paddy McNair signs a new contract until June 2017.

Mr Jose Mourinho is in the building, which is a good start given he's not managed to turn up on a couple of occasions recently.

First thing he does is confirm Cesc Fabregas will be in the squad to face Everton. "We coped with the situation (while he was out) but to have him back is important," said the Blues boss.

"Injured we have only Mikel with a little problem in his knee. He is the only one not in condition to play tomorrow."

Team news for Chelsea tomorrow: "Tim (Howard) is fully fit now. (Steven) Naismith has been declared fit and available. Aiden (McGeady) will not make the squad."

On only one shot on target against Liverpool: "You want to see goals but from a tactical point of view both teams played a really smart game. We were very aware of the opposition and sometimes shots on target don't tell the whole story. I felt the performance was full of maturity."

On speculation linking full-back Seamus Coleman with a move: "I think Seamus Coleman can progress and develop with Everton. At the moment he is enjoying his football and this is the best place for him to develop."

Marco Reus, who has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs according to Borussia Dortmund, has signed a new contract with the Bundesliga club.
