Just listen to the noise in this place now. Everton fans are rocking and still have time to find the winner.
Everton 1-1 Fulham
Michael Brown
Former Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio Sports Extra
Full credit to Everton they keep it alive on the edge and as it bounces up Beto pounces, it is an easy header into the goal.
Goodison Park erupts!
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Christopher Nkunku is warming up. Is Chelsea's big summer signing set to make his debut?
Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough
Changes for both sides as the clock continues to tick.
Middlesbrough's Alex Bangura replaces goalscorer Matt Crooks.
And for Vale, Tom Sang and Uche Ikpeazu come on for Jason Lowe and Gavin Massey.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
It seems more and more of a lonely night for Callum Wilson as the game goes on.
Chelsea have had a number of half chances and not put it away, Newcastle have had one chance and put it away - that is the difference now.
Beto
James Garner's right-footed shot is blocked and it loops up in the air and substitute Beto is there to head an equaliser in from close range.
Everton have saved themselves with eight minutes to go.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Pretty relentless from Chelsea now. They're just missing a final ball and/or a finish.
Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough
Almost 4-0!
Substitute Calum Kavanagh is straight into the action, unmarked in the area, but he can't get any power on to his effort which is easily saved by Port Vale keeper Connor Ripley.
Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough make a change with 15 minutes to go. Calum Kavanagh replaces forward Isiah Jones.
Odd that. Jones himself was a half-time substitute, replacing Emmanuel Latte Lath.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Home fans are unhappy at how long Martin Dubravka has the ball in his gloves. Whatever happened to the six-second rule?
Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough
Nothing silly is the name of the game for Middlesbrough now.
Stand-in keeper Tom Glover is quick off his line to clear away a through ball meant for Ethan Chislett.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
It certainly seems there is more energy in this Chelsea performance.
Chelsea can sense they are growing in this game and want to get on top.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
A double change for Fulham as Marco Silva hopes his side can see this one through. On Andreas Pereira and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, off Harrison Reed and Harry Wilson.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Moises Caicedo is almost caught napping by Sean Longstaff but the Chelsea midfielder just manages to keep possession.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Dwight McNeil's shot is blocked by Tosin Adarbioyo before substitute Beto has a shot saved by goalkeeper Leno, although Beto was offside so wouldn't have counted anyway.
Everton starting to pile on the pressure as they look for a leveller.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Nicolas Jackson stands with his hands on his head as he knows that was a glorious chance, that sums up his Chelsea career.
Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough
Hardly anything to tell you about from Vale Park now, it's all gone very pedestrian with Boro in total control.
The atmosphere though is top notch. It hasn't worked out for the League One side tonight, but their fans continue to sing.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
The hosts are pushing for an equaliser. Raheem Sterling gets into the box and forces a save from Martin Dubravka.
