Fulham vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today

45+6 mins: Sterling looks to shift the ball away from Tarkowski and slips as he tries to spin around the defender. He goes down and the referee awards Chelsea a free kick in the middle of the pitch leaving Tarkowski with a bemused look on his face.

45+3 mins: Another Chelsea corner is whipped in but this time from the right side. The initial ball is headed out to Reece James who toe pokes a shot back towards goal and wins another corner when the ball is blocked behind.

Can Everton get into the break on level terms?

45 mins: Eight minutes of added time still to play in the first half due to the injury to Ben Godfrey earlier on. Still nothing to separate the sides.

Everton are giving it a good go.

43 mins: Disallowed goal! Raheem Sterling is denied a goal on his Chelsea debut by the offside flag. Reece James plays the ball inside from the right wing and finds N’Golo Kante who shoots.

Jordan Pickford fumbles his save and knocks it back into the box for Sterling to guide home.

It’s a clear offside though and the goal is chalked off.

41 mins: Raheem Sterling runs at Yerry Mina before the ball comes loose to Mason Mount on the edge of the box. He boots one at goal but James Tarkowski is in the way and blocks it.

The deflection sends the ball up the pitch where Everton look to counter quickly down the inside left channel. Thiago Silva is switched on though and cuts across to recover the ball with an interception.

Great defending.

38 mins: Close! Anthony Gordon dribbles his way to the byline on the right side of Chelsea’s box and cuts the ball back into the middle for Abdoulaye Doucoure. Koulibaly and Kante combine to shut him out before the ball reaches him and the Blues clear the danger.

Encouraging stuff from Everton though.

35 mins: Sterling has been a bright spark for Chelsea. He’s not afraid to take players on and as such Everton are making sure they have at least two men on him whenever he gets close to the final third.

The Toffees have been pushed back but Chelsea who are operating primarily inside the hosts half.

32 mins: Reece James curls another free kick into the box from the right side and tries to find Kalidu Koulibaly in the penalty area. The defender attacks the cross but can’t reach it first and Everton scramble it clear.

Yerry Mina blocks a pass into the box from Kai Havertz and Chelsea win another corner.

29 mins: N’Golo Kante goes on a driving run down the left wing and combines with Kai Havertz to get to the side of the box before he’s dispossessed.

In reply Vitalii Mykolenko has loads of space to work with as he comes down the left wing. He swings the ball in and Anthony Gordon nods it wide.

26 mins: Save! Everton’s corner is whipped in from the right and flies through the box before Mykolenko recovers the ball. He floats a cross back into the middle from the opposite wing and picks out James Tarkowski who powers a header at goal and forces Edouard Mendy to tip the ball over the crossbar.
