15:12
CLOSE! Everton's first shot on target of the game comes from McNeil, who turns on the edge of the box before lashing goalwards. His powerful drive is heading for the bottom corner, but Sanchez leaps down to his right to parry wide.

15:11
Palmer lays the ball off to Fernandez outside the box, but the midfielder's effort is tame and lacks the power or direction to really trouble Pickford.
Everton vs Chelsea
15:09
Everton have now stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in 10 of their 16 games. Only Aston Villa (11) and Crystal Palace (11) have done this more often in the Premier League this season.

Onana makes his return from injury as he comes on for Gueye at half-time.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:54
The first half had just one shot on target, and the teams combined for just 0.34 xG (expected goals). Both Dyche and Pochettino will think this game is there for the taking if their sides can just find their feet in attack.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:52
The half-time whistle blows as both teams head back to the changing rooms with the scoreline goalless. It has not been a thriller at Goodison Park, though Chelsea have probably just about shaded it, Fernandez forcing a decent save out of Pickford early on before the visitors dominated possession for large spells of the half. Harrison flashed a volley wide for the hosts, who did seem to be improving in the latter stages of the opening 45 minutes.

HALF-TIME: EVERTON 0-0 CHELSEA
Everton vs Chelsea
14:50
Cucurella goes down clutching his face after clashing with Tarkowski ahead of another Everton corner, though the referee sees no wrongdoing and issues no punishment.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:49
Everton's attempts to find a goal before the interval see them win a couple of corners in quick succession, though Chelsea are able to deal with them relatively easily.

There will be four minutes of additional time at the end of this first half,
Everton vs Chelsea
14:45
A corner is cleared, but only to Gallagher. The midfielder whips a cross back into the Everton box, but though Badiashile wins the first header, none of his team-mates are there to meet the bouncing ball and the hosts clear.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:42
Dyche is forced into another first-half change as Young limps off for Patterson. This has been a frustrating outing for the hosts so far.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:42
Badiashile and Cucurella both breathe a big sigh of relief as they fail to deal with a long punt upfield. McNeil races onto it, but the ball gets caught under his feet before the flag eventually goes up for offside.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:39
Mudryk injects a bit of much-needed pace into a Chelsea attack by flying down the left and getting past his man. He fires a cross into the middle, but Broja's shot at the near post flies well wide of the target.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:37
We have had just three shots in this game and one on target. It has been far from a thriller at Goodison Park, and both coaches will be demanding more from their teams.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:35
Branthwaite is indeed back to his feet, and while the youngster doesn't look entirely comfortable, he will play on. That will be a huge relief for the home fans.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:34
Branthwaite is down near the touchline after a coming-together with Palmer. He is receiving treatment, though it appears he will be okay to continue.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:31
Caicedo is now struggling in midfield, temporarily dropping to his haunches. However, it looks like he will try and soldier on.

WIDE! Everton go close for the first time as Harrison tries the spectacular with a volley. His acrobatic effort momentarily has Sanchez worried, though the ball eventually flies past the right post. Dyche will want more of that from his team.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:26
Neither side has quite been able to kick into top attacking gear yet, though the visitors have looked the more threatening. Sanchez is yet to make a save between the Chelsea sticks.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:24
Chelsea have conceded 24 goals in their 15 previous Premier League games this season, their joint most at this stage of a season, along with in 2015-16. The 194 shots they have faced is their most after 15 games in a season that Opta has on record (since 2003-04).

London sides have won their last three Premier League away games against Everton – the Toffees haven't lost four in a row at Goodison Park against sides from the capital since April 1993.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:17
Gueye goes in the book for a poor challenge on Fernandez. He went straight through the back of the Argentina international.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:17
GREAT STOP! A corner is worked short by Chelsea, and the ball comes out to Palmer. The forward decides to let fly from range, and his powerful shot looks destined for the top corner. However, Pickford leaps to his right to acrobatically parry away. The visitors continue to look the more threatening of the two sides.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:15
Broja drives into the box and looks to have flown past Branthwaite, but the centre-back gets back in the nick of time to make a vital last-ditch tackle and divert behind for a corner.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:12
Chelsea are looking to win consecutive away Premier League games against Everton for the first time since beating the Toffees at Goodison Park in 2006-07 (3-2 under Jose Mourinho) and 2007-08 (1-0 under Avram Grant).
Everton vs Chelsea
14:10
Badiashile gets up well to meet a corner from the right, but his looping header only lands on the roof of the net. Chelsea have looked threatening so far.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:08
A sweeping Everton move ends with Harrison whipping a cross into the penalty area, but the delivery isn't accurate enough and cannot find Calvert-Lewin in the box.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:06
Everton have won four of their last five home Premier League matches against Chelsea, although they did lose 1-0 last season on the opening day under Frank Lampard.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:05
SAVE! Pickford is called into action for the first time as Mudryk lays it back to Fernandez on the edge of the box. The midfielder hits it first time, but Pickford gets down well to make the stop before Fernandez fails to find the target with the rebound.
Everton vs Chelsea
14:01
The hosts kick us off and we are under way!

The two teams make their way onto the pitch in front of a vociferous Goodison Park crowd. Can Everton make it three straight victories? We will find out shortly!

13:58
Mauricio Pochettino's team selection is a bold one as he goes with four alterations from the disappointing loss at Old Trafford. Silva, Colwill, Sterling and Jackson all drop to the bench, with Broja set to make just his third Premier League start of the season. James returns to captain the side, while Gallagher and Badiashile also come into the starting XI.
Everton vs Chelsea
13:54
Sean Dyche makes just the one change from the win over Newcastle. Seamus Coleman made his return to the senior side after a long-term knee injury against the Magpies but was forced off, and he is absent for this one. Garner starts in his place, while Pickford is between the sticks despite picking up a knock late on in the midweek triumph. Onana returns from a calf injury on the bench.

A below-par Chelsea performance away at Manchester United led to a 2-1 defeat in midweek, the Blues' second loss in three matches. They head to Goodison Park in 10th, though they are level on points with 13th-placed Bournemouth and only five points above Nottingham Forest in 16th.
Everton vs Chelsea
13:33
The hosts head into this one on a high after a superb 3-0 win over top-four hopefuls Newcastle United in midweek. That was Everton's third victory in four matches, enough to lift them out of the relegation zone despite their 10-point deduction for financial breaches. Without that penalty, the Toffees would be in the top half of the Premier League.
