EVERTON BLOW AN EXCELLENT BREAKAWAY
McNeil threatens with a mazy run from deep. He has Gray free to his left but runs towards his teammate and then takes a poor touch as he shapes to shoot, allowing a Chelsea man to pinch it off his toe.
Gray then makes his frustration clear!

PULISIC FINE TO CONTINUE AFTER BEING WINDED IN THE WALL
Gray's earlier free kick thundered into the American,leading to him needing some treatment. He's grimacing away as he gets to his feet with the help of the physio, but should be okay to continue.

ALL THAT'S MISSING IS THAT OPENING GOAL
Chelsea continue to threaten every time they come forward.
More dazzling footwork from Felix on the left side of the area leads Everton's defenders a merry dance before his low cross into the six-yard box is repelled under pressure.
26'
WILL EVERTON EQUAL AN UNWANTED STAT FROM ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO
Dyche's men are winless in 11 consecutive away games in all competitions since beating Southampton in October.
They last went 12 without victory between December 2003 and May 2004.

A HALF CHANCE FOR EVERTON
The visitors have barely been the Chelsea half but they do briefly threaten following a set piece but a flick towards Tarkowski at the far post just evades the Toffees defender.

CHELSEA ATTEMPT
Havertz is given too much space to have a pop and force a decent save out of Pickford.
The hosts come again down the left and Felix is a toe-nail away from converting Pulisic's low ball at the near post.
20'
OOHS AND AAHS FROM THE CROWD
A quite delightful Chelsea move down the right sees Felix burst into space. He can see a runner on the far side but his low pass from the right lacks accuracy and Everton are able to clear their lines through Coleman's vital interception.

EVERTON ATTEMPT
A rare foray forward ends with McNeil fizzing a long-range drive way off target.
