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.
21 mins: Chilwell dinks a free kick into the box. Thiago Silav knocks the ball down for Jorginho who hits it on the half volley and sends the shot over the bar.
18 mins: Havertz goes on a great run. He takes the ball from the halfway line to the tip of the ‘D’, he’s got Abraham running off to his right and Werner on his left.
Havertz passes it Werner who takes a shot with his first touch but it’s straight at Guaita who catches the ball safely.
15 mins: Chelsea try to force their way into the box through the middle. Havertz and Jorginho repeatedly attempt to feed the ball into the area but Palace throw bodies in front of the ball. It’s all a bit desperate before McArthur clears it out to Eze.
Palace can break and Eze passes the ball up the pitch for Zaha but he’s beaten to it by Thiago Silva.
12 mins: Eze flicks the ball up to Zaha as Ward bombs down the right wing. Zaha’s touch stops the ball skipping through to the right-back. Zouma takes the ball off the Palace striker and boots it away.

6 mins: Azpilicueta finds some space on the right side and crosses the ball into the box. Havertz gets in front of Kouyate but the ball goes over his head and Kouyate, behind him, heads it out for a corner.
3 mins: Kante slots the ball out wide to Hudson-Odoi who attempts to put a low cross into the six yard box. The ball is blocked and goes out for a corner.
Chelsea whipp it into the penalty area but Ayew is there to boot it clear for Crystal Palace.
