Chelsea vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction tonight

53 mins: What a chance for Everton! They break forward through Gordon, who plays it inside to Iwobi. Doucoure made a bursting run through the middle away of him and Iwobi simply had to play him in - but he didn’t! Instead he played it wide to Kenny, who blasts over.

That must have been so frustrating for Everton fans, they would have been screaming for Iwobi to play it!

50 mins: Chelsea have picked up where they left off at the start of this second half, but there’s still a lot of play outside of the Everton box. Mount tries to speed things up as he lets fly from outside of the box and his deflected effort needs to be tipped wide by Pickford. From the corner, the ball deflects off Loftus-Cheek’s back and loops over the bar.

Back underway at the Bridge. Chelsea simply have to find a way through here. Dropped points against such a depleted Everton side would be a big blow to their title hopes.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are 45 minutes away from crashing out of the Women’s Champions League...

Chelsea’s wave of Covid-19 cases has left their bench looking a little more bare than usual, which could be an issue if they need some extra fire-power in the second half.

Apart from two goalkeepers (Kepa, Bettinelli) and three defenders (Christensen, Sarr, Chalobah), Kante, Barkley and Saul Niguez is the extent of their options.

We’re level at the break. Chelsea have been the dominant team and have played some lovely football at times but they’ve lacked the finishing edge.

Everton have battled hard but it’s only a matter of time until the hosts take the lead, you would think.

45 mins: Brilliant from Doucoure. He wins the ball back on the edge of his own box before breaking clear of two challenges. Loftus-Cheek brings him down with a sliding tackle and is booked.

There will be two minutes added on.

43 mins: An Everton shot! That's better from the visitors. Godfrey leads the break down the left before feeding it inside to Doucoure. It ends up back with Gordon on the edge but his dipping effort is straight at Mendy.

41 mins: Ziyech has got the Stamford Bridge crowd purring at times tonight. A lovely back-heel from him to Alonso creates some space, but it ends in frustration as Mount gives away the foul.

Everton are close to getting into half-time level, despite Chelsea’s dominance.

36 mins: Big save from Pickford! Rudiger slips Mount through but the Everton goalkeeper makes a big stop with his feet. It was great play from Rudiger initially to hold the ball up in the box and find the gap in which to play in Mount, who should have done better really with his finish.
