Chelsea vs Everton
Gallagher does well to stop Gomes' run, but just as quickly, Mudryk loses out to McNeil. He slides it back into the substitute, who takes on the shot from the edge of the D, and a deflection takes it wide of the near post.

Everton are enjoying their best spell of possession in the game here as they knock it around with ease. Mykolenko tries to thread it forward to Beto in the box, but he's nudged off it by Chalobah.

Dyche was a frustrated figure on the touchline, and his side struggled with any sort of cohesion in defence. They showed flashes of what they could do upfront, creating an xG of 1.18 from their four shots, but his main priority will be avoiding a heavy thrashing. Pochettino couldn't have asked for more - his side managed an xG of 1.4, but were clinical, scoring with four of their five shots on target. He'll be urging his side for more of the same.

Palmer's perfect hat-trick means Chelsea are cruising at the break with a 4-0 lead over Everton. He got the match ball for himself after just 29 minutes - he scored his first after a skilful build-up was curled into the bottom corner before heading in his second just five minutes later. The third was a gift as he intercepted a poor clearance by Pickford and chipped the keeper from just outside the centre-circle into the empty net. Beto had a goal ruled out for offside before Jackson put more daylight between the sides with a wonderful volley. After a dominant first half, it's no surprise that the live win probability gives Chelsea a 99.8 per cent chance of winning, with that extra 0.2 per cent Everton's chance of a draw.

WIDE! Another corner is swung deep into the box for Everton, and Onana rises above Mudryk at the far post to meet it. He nods it down into the ground, and his shot bounces wide of the target.
