Follow the latest updates live from the Premier League clash between Everton and Brighton and Hove Albion as Carlo Ancelotti’s side look to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.

Everton have been one of the form teams in the country so far, winning all six of their matches in all competitions and making it three from three last weekend, in which Dominic Calvert-Lewin continued his goalscoring run before netting a hat-trick in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.

Ancelotti does have a number of injury concerns on his hands though, including summer signing Allan, and Brighton will fancy their chances of an upset after resting the bulk of their squad during the week. Follow the live updates below.

We’ll bring you the reaction from Stamford Bridge before our attention shifts to the 3pm kick off between Everton and Brighton.

Chelsea 4 - 0 Crystal Palace

90+3 mins: Full time. A lacklustre first half is all but forgotten as Chelsea cruise to a 4-0 over Crystal Palace. Ben Chilwell has a goal and an assist in his first league start for the club. Kurt Zouma and Jorginho also on the scoresheet for the Blues who are back to winning ways after their poor performance against West Brom last week.

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play.

87 mins: Double change for Chelsea to see how these final few minutes as Callum Hudson-Odoi and N'Golo Kante are replaced by Christian Pulisic and Mateo Kovacic.

85 mins: A Crystal Palace corner comes into the box. It comes to Ayew who is closed down by Jorginho and Havertz. A little touch by the defenders sends Ayew to the deck looking for a penalty but he doesn’t get one.

Chelsea 4 - 0 Crystal Palace - Jorginho

82 mins: GOAL! Jorginho again. Same technique, same side, same result.

Penalty to Chelsea!

81 mins: Chilwell puts a corner into the box for Chelsea but Guaita comes out and claims it. Chilwell wins the ball back off Ayew and passes it to Havertz. He runs into the box and Sakho  brings him down.

Chelsea 3 - 0 Crystal Palace - Jorginho

78 mins: GOAL! Jorginho sows up the points for Chelsea as he converts the penalty. Job done for Frank Lampard’s men in this half.

Penalty to Chelsea!

76 mins: Mitchell’s day gets worse as he clips Abraham’s legs and brings him down in the box.

75 mins: Hudson-Odoi skips away from Mitchell on the right wing. He gets past the defender and fires in a cross. Abraham holds his ground and heads the ball at goal, aiming for the near post but he misses to the right.
