Everton vs Chelsea – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Blues look to bounce back from Man United defeat plus updates from the rest of Sunday’s 2pm kick-offs

CHANCE FOR CHELSEA! A lovely through ball releases Mudryk down the flank. Ashley Young looks to keep outside of the box but he failes to do so. Mudryk slips the ball to Enzo Fernandez at the top of the box. Fernandez shoots but Pickford makes the save.

Aggressive start from Everton, looking to play forwards and threaten balls over the top of Chelsea’s backline.

And… just like that, we are underway! It is Everton who kick off proceedings this afternoon at Goodison Park.

Gomez, Ederson, Kovacic, Ake, Gvardiol, Alvarez, Phillips, Stones, Ortega, Bobb, Carson, Bernardo, Foden, Nunes, Rodri, Grealish, Walker, Akanji have all arrived for the game. NO Haaland or Doku.

The news comes as a blow to the City fans as they were hoping Haaland would help the club return to winning ways after drawing their last four games.

However, the striker – who has started every Premier League game this season – will miss today’s trip to Kenilworth Road, according to The Athletic.

Pochettino said: ‘We cannot say nothing to the fans. The fans, they react how they feel. We cannot blame them or say nothing. Again, we have to accept it. If we are not playing well it is normal that we will be criticised from them and we need to accept that.’

Speaking at the press conference on Friday, the Man City boss said: ‘When you win a lot, ‘urgh, another macaroni pasta to eat’. The last six months, just macaroni, macaroni. You have to realise, no, it’s difficult.

‘It’s difficult. Don’t need to just win semi-finals of the Champions League to [think] how good we are. No, in those moments, it’s what we have done many times, give credit every game and satisfaction for we have done it. We have to recover.

‘Sometimes after winning, you try to do it but the extra [pressure]. You won a lot, you need a punch in the face, you need it. Now, okay, let’s see. I tell you, will we overcome the situation? I don’t know.

‘I don’t know how we are going to react. That is the challenge. We have to find the right words, the right training, the right message, the right selection, the right way we play.

‘I’m the boss so I have to help them.’
