Maurizio Sarri eager not to put pressure on Calum Hudson-Odoi

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."

Everton 2-0 Chelsea

83 minutes

Hudson-Odoi again takes Chelsea forward and attempts a one-two with Giroud. The return pass is wayward, though, and runs out for a goal kick. It's not happening for Chelsea.

The game is petering out for Chelsea, who have been poor in this second half. They need two quick goals to avoid their eighth league defeat of the season.

Five minutes of added time will be played. Chelsea look bereft of ideas.

Everton 2-0 Chelsea

90+4 minutes

Giroud wins a corner for Chelsea and then nearly scores from the set piece. Luiz heads across goal and the Frenchman looks certain to nod into the net. His effort is cleared off the line, though, and with it goes Chelsea's last chance.

Full time: That's it! Everton hold on for a crucial, and fully deserved, win. Marco Silva's side were excellent in the second half and had enough to put a lacklustre Chelsea side to the sword. For Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea, it's another setback. They're now three points off Arsenal in fourth.

Everton climb above Bournemouth into 11th with victory today and all but secure their safety. That was a much-needed win for Marco Silva and his players, particularly after falling to a late defeat at Newcastle last weekend.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will wonder what went wrong after the break. They were in control for most of the first half and looked the only side likely to go on and win. But they were as lethargic as Everton were energetic in the second half.
