Chelsea are looking to keep in the hunt for the Premier League top four when they visit Goodison Park to face Everton.

The Blues can move back level with Arsenal in fourth with a victory on Sunday afternoon.

Everton boss Marco Silva is looking for a repeat of the performance that saw his side earn a point at Stamford Bridge back in November.

"We did a very good game because we had our chances to score the goals," he said. "We were solid but we didn't play just without the ball, we played with the ball also, we showed quality with the ball.

"There was good intensity in the game, some good moments in our offensive organisation, some good counter-attacks also and it's everything we should do on Sunday.

"We have to be solid because we know against them they are really strong with that frontline and the players they have in the middle and the individual quality they have.

"You are here playing at Goodison and if you have achieved a good result against them away, you have confidence you can achieve maybe better at home with our fans, with the atmosphere we expect at Goodison again.

"They can push us to achieve the three points and to try to get the three points more or less we gave away the last game."

Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the Premier League.

It's a packed afternoon of action with Millwall and Brighton also squaring off in the FA Cup but our first focus will be at Craven Cottage where Fulham host Liverpool.

The Reds can return to the top of the table with a win in west London - albeit having played a game more than rivals Manchester City. 

Jurgen Klopp's men will be keen to seize the advantage after Pep Guardiola's side were in FA Cup action this weekend at Swansea City.

They won't have it all their own way, however, with the hosts in desperate need of all three points themselves as they continue to battle against the drop.

We will have all the latest updates from Craven Cottage throughout the afternoon.

Liverpool make two changes for this crucial visit of Craven Cottage: Fabinho and Adam Lallana replace Jordan Henderson and James Milner in midfield. Xherdan Shaqiri is on the bench once again.

Fulham, meanwhile, make four changes. Scott Parker's side are desperate for points today.

A win this afternoon would be significant for Liverpool, who can move back top and put the pressure on Manchester City with three points. They face a Fulham side in dismal form and staring down the barrel of relegation. The Cottagers have lost six Premier League games in a row and will need a miracle - starting with an unlikely victory today - to avoid the drop.

Jurgen Klopp's side, on the back of an impressive 3-1 win at Bayern Munich last week, will be strong favourites today. For Fulham, though, there is very little left to lose.

Some pre-match reading. Jurgen Klopp, to the relief of Liverpool fans, isn't heading off to Bayern any time soon:

The teams are out at Craven Cottage! Kick off is just moments away now.

Fulham, in white and black, get us underway!

Fulham 0-0 Liverpool

3 minutes

It's been a lively enough start from Fulham, who've had most of the ball in the opening stages and look comfortable. Liverpool haven't quite got going yet.

Fulham 0-0 Liverpool

4 minutes

A first sight of goal for Salah, who latches onto a looping through ball from Lallana and looks to prod a shot towards the near post. He doesn't catch it right, though, and the ball trickles wide.
