It was not pretty and, when Jorginho hopped, skipped and fluffed an 87th-minute penalty, it looked like it would not come at all. But Chelsea were able to squeeze out a narrow 1-0 victory over West Ham thanks to Christian Pulisic’s 90th-minute winner in a match that will not last long in the memory.

The goal itself was smartly constructed and taken. On as a second-half substitute, Pulisic timed and adjusted a run into the box to get on the end of Marcos Alonso’s cut-back, after Mason Mount had carried the ball forward in desperation. The American stroked a finish into the far corner from his left foot for his fourth goal of the Premier League campaign. The equalling of last season’s tally that little bit less important than the end of a run two successive home deafest, and a much-needed clean sheet after shipping four goals in both.

Thomas Tuchel was relieved rather than buoyed. This was not a display to hang your hat on, and it is hard to think of a player beyond the usual suspects of Mount and Thiago Silva who emerged with any top-up of credit. But the three points re-establishes distance between them and Arsenal - now five points, with a game in hand. Follow all the team news, build-up and latest scores from all three games below:

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

4 mins: Salah bursts down the right and appears to beat Anthony Gordon fairly when cutting inside, but the Everton man hits the deck and wins a cheap free-kick.

The ball is straight back with the hosts, though. Liverpool have barely given their visiting rivals a kick in the opening four minutes.

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

2 mins: Anfield is absolutely rocking on Sunday afternoon/evening here. What an atmosphere this stadium creates on the biggest occasions.

Liverpool immediately on the ball as Everton drop into their defensive structure. That will almost certainly be the pattern for much of this match.

Liverpool vs Everton

The players are out. Anfield is packed. Let’s do this.

Liverpool vs Everton

But it is equally as big for Everton and Frank Lampard. They start the afternoon in the bottom three for the first time this season.

An unnerving situation ahead of a match against their in-form local rivals at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp knows his side have to win today. They start the match four points adrift of Manchester City.

Liverpool vs Everton

The players are preparing to step out onto the Anfield pitch in front of a raucous Liverpool crowd.

Huge anticipation for this one. Excitement for the neutrals. Expectation for Liverpool fans. Dread for Everton supporters?

Rudiger to leave Chelsea, Tuchel confirms

Away from the Merseyside derby, Thomas Tuchel has just confirmed that Antonio Rudiger will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

He told Sky Sports: “Toni, the media is on it. The situation is that he wants to leave the club. He informed me of this is in a private talk.

“We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions. Without the sanctions we would at least be able to carry on fighting, but out hands are tied. We don’t take it personally. It is his decision.

“He is a key figure and will stay that way until the end of the season. But it is disappointing. We will miss him a lot. He gives courage in the dressing room. The kind everyone is afraid of, but the kind to play 50-55 games at an outstanding level. He is a top defender in the last one and a half years for me. We then need to find another solution.”

Liverpool vs Everton

Sorry Everton fans, but this is a pretty damning statistic. Do any Toffees fans actually believe their side can win here today?
