Chelsea vs Everton live score, updates, highlights, result, as Joao ...

Chelsea can make it four wins in a row across all competitions with another victory at home against an Everton team battling relegation and with only one away win all season.

Graham Potter's side looks to have turned a corner with victories against Leeds United and Leicester City sandwiching a key UEFA Champions League win that carried them into the quarter finals, where they will face Real Madrid in April.

But Chelsea are still more than 10 points away from the top four and assuring themselves a place in the Champions League next season. All they can do is to keep winning and hope the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Brighton & Hove Albion fall off the pace.

As for Everton, any point is golden at this juncture of the season when they sit just one point above the relegation zone. The Toffees have looked sturdier under new manager Sean Dyche, but goals have been tough to come by without their top scorer.

90th min.: Goal Everton! It's the sub Ellis Simms who scored it. He did so well to shrug off the defender and finish strongly past Kepa. What a time to get your first Premier League goal!

69th min.: Goal Everton! James Tarkowski gets a head to a corner kick, and Abdoulaye Doucoure heads it over the goal line. Kai Havertz's goal-line clearance wasn't good enough. The ball went over the line.

62nd min.: SUB Chelsea. Conor Gallagher on for Christian Pulisic.

59th min.: Chance Everton. On a set piece which came on a bookable offence by Koulibaly, it's Michael Keane with a glancing header that misses the mark.

56th min.: Disallowed Chelsea goal! Fine finish from Christian Pulisic, but he was offside and well past the last defender on his run in behind.

It didn't count but what a finish by Pulisic!

49th min.: Chance Chelsea! A cross from Ben Chilwell is headed by Kai Havertz on goal and Jordan Pickford's save is nearly redirected by Joao Felix.

46th min.: We're back. No changes for either side.

Halftime: Chelsea 0-0 Everton

Halftime: Chelsea are strong on the ball with some solid buildup play, but they can't get in behind Everton or trouble goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. That's a credit to Everton's defending with numbers behind the ball.

Enzo Fernandez has been excellent in midfield, the back three have been solid, but Chelsea need more creativity and combination in attack. This game is crying out for Mykhaylo Mudryk. Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic have been clean, but Chelsea need them to take players on 1-on-1 and break down the Everton backline.

46th min.: Three minutes of stoppage time. And Dwight McNeil concedes a free kick just outside the box, getting a yellow card for his troubles. Chelsea get a couple of shots off, but Everton repel the chances.

42nd min.: Defensive play Koulibaly! He stops Dwight McNeil by poking the ball from his feet just outside the box, neutralising a rare Everton attack. That Chelsea back three really offers peace of mind.

41st min.: It looks like N'Golo Kante will be warming up during halftime. The question is when Graham Potter will decide to give him some minutes.

34th min.: Another sweeping build-up in attack from right to left and back to right, where Joao Felix fires. But it's an easy stop for Jordan Pickford. Everton are doing well to keep Chelsea in front of them.

29th min.: Yellow card to Everton's Gana Gueye for a foul that happened a minute or two prior on Christian Pulisic in midfield. Good decision by the referee, though Gana Gueye doesn't like it.

25th min.: Joao Felix is dialed into the match. Check out this classy play by Chelsea's best player on the day so far.

How did Joao Felix keep that in? ????

21st min.: Chance Chelsea! Nice buildup from Chelsea, and the ball goes wide left to Pulisic. The American crosses and Joao Felix gets a touch on the ball in the box, but Everton 'keeper Jordan Pickford is attentive and snags it before it causes any issues.

11th min.: Chance Chelsea! Another Chelsea corner and Ben Chilwell's delivery is headed by Kai Havertz just high of the target. Positive start by Chelsea.

5th min.: Chance Chelsea! A corner kick bounces out to Mateo Kovacic who from just inside the penalty area lets rip, but he doesn't hit the target. If that's on goal, it's probably a goal.

1st min.: We're off. Interesting to note that Christian Pulisic is playing on the left, Kai Havertz on the right, and Joao Felix is starting out in a central role.

60 mins from kickoff: Starting lineups are in with Christian Pulisic and Reece James back in the Chelsea starting lineup, while Everton field the lineup everyone expected.
