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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

GREAT CHANCE! Joao Felix's volley is blocked for a corner, which Chilwell swings into the box. Havertz beat Fofana to it at the near post but flicks his header just over the crossbar from close range.

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.

Everton can't make a free-kick count and Chelsea break quickly on the counter. The visitors flood back into their shape quickly though to block their way into the box.

CHANCE! The corner is swung in for Chelsea and they have two attempts to get it away to no avail. It falls invitingly for Kovacic on the edge of the box, and he puts his laces through it. It flashes wide of the near post.

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.

Gueye's throughball is cut out by Fernandez, but Chelsea can't take profit from it as it rolls to McNeil. He slides it down the left for Doucoure, who holds off Fofana, only for the flag to go up.

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.

For the third game in a row, Dyche sticks with the same starting line-up. Gray continues to lead the line in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Godfrey continues his stint at left-back.

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.

"We are building a mentality and it is improving all the time. There’s been lots of hard work on it from the players.
"The shape has been good and the commitment to the cause has been good."

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.
