Everton
With James Garner coming down with an illness on the morning of their win over Newcastle, Dyche fast-tracked Seamus Coleman's return to the starting XI after a seven-month absence for his captain, although he was unable to complete the contest due to a small knock.
Coleman would not have been expected to complete the full 90 anyway, and with Garner fighting a battle to recover from his bug in time for Sunday, Nathan Patterson might be called upon to fill the void here.
Dele Alli is stepping up his recovery from a groin operation but will not be involved just yet, while Amadou Onana (calf) and Andre Gomes (fitness) are on Dyche's touch-and-go list at the time of writing, and Jordan Pickford will also need a knee niggle looked at.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Young, Gueye, Doucoure, McNeil; Harrison; Calvert-Lewin
Chelsea
As for the ravaged Blues, Pochettino did not sustain any fresh concerns during their midweek beating at Old Trafford, and the Chelsea boss can now call upon Conor Gallagher once again following his one-game suspension.
Romeo Lavia (ankle) and Christopher Nkunku (knee) may also be given the go-ahead to make their long-awaited debuts - the latter's chances are slim, though - but Wesley Fofana (knee), Trevoh Chalobah (thigh), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee), Ben Chilwell (thigh), Malo Gusto (tendon), Noni Madueke (unspecified) and Lesley Ugochukwu (unspecified) are all unavailable.
Wednesday's affair also saw Marc Cucurella and Reece James return to the fold from their own bans, but the former was taken off for the latter during the half-time break and will surely cede his place in the first XI to the club captain at Goodison.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; James, Disasi, Silva, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez; Sterling, Gallagher, Palmer; Jackson
Prediction: Everton 1-1 Chelsea
