Midfield BATTLE as Moyes warns striker

CENTRAL midfield pair Idrissa Gueye and Tim Iroegbunam both return from their suspensions for Everton's trip to Chelsea next Saturday - but each face a battle to get back in the starting lineup following the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Gueye has been sidelined for the last three matches after being sent off for slapping teammate Michael Keane in the 1-0 victory at Manchester United, while Iroegbunam had to sit out Sean Dyche's Blues return after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in the 1-0 success at Bournemouth last Tuesday.

Gueye, who has started 12 games this season, scoring twice, and whose Everton career totals 223 matches, would, on face value, have the greater chance out of the two of getting back into the side.
