    "You're getting sacked in the morning," is the chant from the Everton fans towards a glum-looking Jose Mourinho. Just imagine if they are right!

    "What a substitute eh? Everton's best move of the finish half, in fact their only real move of the second half, is finished by Steven Naismith.

    "Asmir Begovic was a bit too eager coming out towards the edge of his six-yard box and Naismith, coming in on the angle, hits it home. Hat-trick. The second half has belonged to Chelsea but that should win Everton the points."

    Steven Naismith (hat-trick) 82 mins

    Steven Naismith could not have imagined this ending in his wildest dreams. He started on the bench and now he'll walk down the tunnel at the end of the game with the matchball tucked under his arm. His treble is complete when he is played in by Ross Barkley and slides the ball past Asmir Begovic from an acute angle.

    Got him in your fantasy football team? Ka-ching.

    Norwich v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)

    Conor McNamara
    BBC Radio 5 live commentator

    "Callum Wilson is the Premier League's top-scoring Englishman this season, and Eddie Howe believes the additional firepower from new signing Glenn Murray can keep Bournemouth in the top flight.

    "Kyle Lafferty has scored seven goals in eight Euro 2016 qualifiers but has yet to feature for Norwich this season.

    "The Northern Irishman is keen to prove his worth in the Premier League and doesn't want another loan move: 'When I was a young boy I sat watching 'Match Of The Day' dreaming of playing there, so I'm not going to throw my towel in now.'"

    "With these changes Jose Mourinho really is looking for Chelsea to stretch the game.

    "Radamel Falcao is up there, young Kenedy is out on the right hand side, Willian is back in too and all this should see Eden Hazard back into the thick of things as well. This is a really good watch now."

    Watford v Swansea (15:00 BST)

    Trevor Sinclair
    Former England winger on Football Focus

    "Andre Ayew is exciting and scores goals. His goals are all about getting to that far post, which shows desire and athleticism and wanting to get onto the end of the ball when it's played into the box. 

    "He wants to get involved in everything, and he deserves everything he gets because he's working so hard."

    Former Liverpool defender on Football Focus

    "Ashley Williams to Swansea is like what Vincent Kompany was to Manchester City a few seasons ago. 

    "He's a leader, has a great relationship with Garry Monk - he's one of those players you don't get very often any more. Someone you know will get people organised, who makes great decisions at the back. 

    "I'm surprised one of the top four or five teams behave taken a bite at him." 

  14. Ighalo's tough upbringingpublished at 14:15

    Watford v Swansea (15:00 BST)

    Odion Ighalo, who has just signed a new five-year deal at Watford, has spoken about his upbringing in Nigeria in today's Mirror.

    His training sessions were often interrupted by gunfire between the police and rival gangs, while the first time he saw snow (in Norway) he ate it.

    “I come from the ghetto where there was no 24-hour electricity, no good water, bad roads and the neighbourhood is tough,” he said. “We used to kick old cans, plastic bottles, sometimes even an orange, around the streets in bare feet.

    “Whatever I go on to achieve in football, I will always give thanks to God for this opportunity to live my dream – but I will also never forget where I came from."
