    Chelsea also make a change. Callum Hudson-Odoi on for Willian.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 71 mins

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    Davies is on for Richarlison. Bit of a surprise. The Brazilian doesn't look happy so that must be tactical as opposed to an injury.

    We're going to see Tom Davies shortly.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    Kurt Zouma was on loan here not that long ago, but he is not winning any friends with some hefty challenges, the latest of which is deemed a foul on Richarlison.

    It gives the home side some respite.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    Everton are dicing with death. N'Golo Kante, this time in the Everton box, controls a chipped ball into the path of Mason Mount, but despite time to pick his spot the midfielder shoots wide.

    Yousuf Ali: I love how the Chelsea back four & Kepa is trying to show Lamps where he needs to spend in January.

    Chelsea's defence is looking like a sieve today - holes everywhere!! Hopefully Alonso will return to the line up soon and push us towards the top two!

    Kovacic has the taste for blood. He drives forward to the edge of the box and smashes a shot that flies just wide of goal.

  9. Postpublished at 62 mins

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    N'Golo Kante. An absolute superstar. Azpilicueta is missing in action at left-back but the midfielder is there to tackle and stop Theo Walcott getting away.

  10. Kovac's watching briefpublished at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2019

    Former Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac is sitting near the directors' box watching managerless Everton against Chelsea.

    Just taking in a game apparently. Honest.

    Koome Erick: Kovacic has been a revelation since Frank took over.dare I say better than Kante!

    Jack: Chelsea desperately need Rudiger back to inject some experience into the defence.

  12. Everton's test of nervepublished at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2019

    BBC Sport chief football writer at Goodison Park

    Everton were flying high at 2-0 up but that quick response from Chelsea has quietened the atmosphere and now this is a test of a team whose confidence has been brittle.

    Kepa's keeping keeps Chelsea in it.

    Theo Walcott is away down the right, once again exposing Azpilicueta, but after driving into the box his low angled shot is blocked.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea with the wind in their sails now. They win a corner as Reece James' attempted cross is blocked.

    Willian's delivery is met by Zouma but not with enough power to divert the ball towards goal.

    Everton 2-1 Chelsea

    I didn't have a chance to tell you this because of Chelsea's goal but the second Everton goal was greeted by Duncan Ferguson picking up and swinging a ball boy around.

    First Jose Mourinho high-fiving one, now Big Dunc embracing one. Ball boys are the real brains behind the scenes of these big clubs.

    Goal given!

    Abraham was in the box but not offside as Kovacic's dribbling effort somehow found it's way through a crowd of players and into the bottom corner.

    Was Pickford a bit slow to react? It didn't look like it was a threat when it left the Chelsea midfielder's foot.
