Chelsea welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this evening. Graham Potter’s side look to have turned a corner of late, picking up three wins on the bounce as the former Brighton manager lifts some of the pressure on him.
While the priority this season is now next month’s Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, the Blues will be keen to maintain their upturn in League form to ensure they got into that with confidence. N’Golo Kante is back for Chelsea and is named on the bench, while Reece James is fit to start in a big boost.
33 mins: A rare, rare Everton break. Gray leading the charge, pink shirts eventually arrive on the scene to help him.
Everton turn all the way back though and lose it, Chelsea on the counter now. Felix has space on the edge of the box, drilled straight at Pickford.
30 mins: Gueye the first man into the book this evening, Everton midfielder clatters into Pulisic.
Long ball pinged out to James, keeps it in play and knocks it back to Havertz. Worked to Chilwell on the left, but McNeil is back and hammers the ball up the pitch.

Enzo Fernandez and Joao Felix receive the ball so well on the half-turn before swivelling and running on. Everton’s defending has been up to the task so far
