Chelsea vs Everton LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates

Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Everton in the Premier League today.

Graham Potter’s team have found a little bit of form of late, winning twice in the league and once in Europe to give hope of a stronger end to the campaign. They entered the weekend tenth in the table but five points off out-of-form Liverpool, who are sixth.

Everton are still embroiled in a relegation battle despite four points from two games lifting them out of the bottom three. Four points separate the bottom seven teams so there’s no scope for costly defeats.

Potter will be fairly pleased with what he's seen so far; his side have played some good football and got into dangerous positions, but they need to improve on their final product. Everton have defended well as a unit, which is what Dyche will have been looking for, but they need to take more chances on the break.

It's goalless at the break between Chelsea and Everton. The hosts dominated the first half, without testing Pickford too much. Kovacic and Havertz both came close, with Joao Felix seeing a tame shot kept out by the keeper. Everton didn't create too many chances of note, with McNeil firing over from distance and Godfrey having a volley blocked.

Everton just can't get out of their own half at the moment, and Pulisic is starting to find more space down the left. He curls another cross in, but this one is too close to Pickford.

Gray smacks his free-kick straight against Pulisic in the wall, and he goes down holding his head. He needs treatment and slowly gets back to his feet to carry on.

Joao Felix is tugged back by Tarkowski, who is scrambling to get back into position, and the referee plays the advantage. It's switched back out to the winger, who drills a low shot on goal, but it's straight at Pickford.

Everton have the opportunity to break quickly again, but Gray doesn't use it to drive into the box. Instead, he holds it up, allowing Chelsea to get back into their shape, and then has to pass it backwards.

It's nothing more than a hopeful clearance upfield for Everton, but it almost causes Chelsea some problems as Gray refuses to give it up. Koulibaly has enough of a head start though and shields it back to Kepa.

Now that the ball has finally gone out of play, the referee calls Gueye over to show him a yellow card for that earlier foul on Pulisic.

Pulisic is brought down, but the referee plays the advantage as Joao Felix superbly spins out of trouble. He spreads it out to Chilwell, who sees him cross blocked before Gueye clears Havertz's follow-up ball.

CHANCE! Pulisic gets a yard on Coleman and squeezes a low cross into the box. Havertz gets a touch at the near post, but that actually takes it out of Joao Felix's reach as Pickford cuts it out in front of him.

James has to rush back to stop Kepa's pass from being intercepted, and it's the start of a brilliant, lightning-quick team move. Fernandez, Kovacic and Pulisic are all involved in getting it out to Joao Felix, who plays his low cross behind Havertz.

Chelsea give it away cheaply in midfield, so McNeil decides to try his luck from range. He leans back as he strikes it though, so it's always rising, and it flies into the stands.

It's a brilliant driving run by Pulisic down the left, and his team-mates race upfield so they can switch it to the far side. James squares it back to Joao Felix in the middle, but he can't sort his feet out quick enough to have a shot.

BLOCK! Iwobi blocks Chilwell's initial cross but then stops, allowing the left-back in behind. His cross pinballs out to Fernandez on the edge of the D, so he takes aim but it hits McNeil and Tarkowski.

Everton have won just two of their last 30 Premier League away games (D8 L20), while also keeping just two clean sheets in this run. Indeed, since the start of last season, the Toffees have won fewer away matches (three) and earned fewer points on the road (18) than any of the 17 ever-present sides.

Potter makes three changes from the win over Leicester City last weekend. James returns from injury, Pulisic makes his first start since early January and Badiashile also comes in to round out the alterations. Loftus-Cheek, Mudryk and Cucurella start on the bench, as does Kante, who is involved in the squad for the first time since August after overcoming a hamstring injury.

Chelsea look to have turned things around in recent weeks, and they've won their last three matches in all competitions, including booking a place in the Champions League quarter-finals. It has eased the pressure on Graham Potter, whose side were on a run of six before that without a victory (D3 L3). Everton come into this game currently in 15th place, and they sit just one point above the relegation zone. Since Sean Dyche took over, he's led the Toffees to three wins in seven games (all 1-0 victories at home). They've won just once on the road in the Premier League this season, all the way back at the start of October when they beat Southampton 2-1.
