Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge
Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

It's another corner for Chelsea, and this time Enzo will deliver for the home side. It's crossed to the front post, but Branthwaite is there to head away from danger for Everton.

It looks as though we could soon see some changes from both sides. Moyes has called Young and McNeil back from their warm-ups, while James is getting ready for Chelsea on the sidelines.

Madueke does well to get to the byline and deliver, but Mykolenko is there to head behind for a corner. Neto takes and crosses to the back post, but it travels all the way through as Chalobah misses his header.

Close! Patterson reaches a ball over the top of his own defence and looks to play it back to Pickford. He gets it all wrong as the pass is too short and Jackson attempts to poke it past the goalkeeper, but Pickford does well to win it back.

Everton break away through Alcaraz, who does well to drive through the middle of the pitch in transition. He looks to carry the ball at the Chelsea defence, but Beto takes it off him, and the striker overruns it. Alcaraz doesn't look too happy as his team-mate dispossessed him.

It's a Chelsea corner early in the second half after some good work from Neto. The Portuguese forward will take and he delivers to the front post. Madueke controls well and turns before firing towards the bottom corner, but Pickford makes a superb stop to deny him.
