The match is live onTNT Sportsin the UK and can also be streamed via the HBO Max app.Global broadcast details can be found atpremierleague.com.Preview for Everton v ChelseaTwo teams on 10 points, two very different routes to get there. Everton host Chelsea at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday lunchtime, with David Moyess side putting their unbeaten start on the line against Xabi Alonsos Londonders.Everton are fifth, only above Chelsea on goal difference, and theyve got there by being very hard to beat. Two wins and four draws from six games leaves them as one of the few unbeaten sides in the division, and they have already taken points off Tottenham and Manchester United. They also have two clean sheets in their three home league games.Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive with their confidence restored. The international break came at the right time for Alonso, whose side ended a three-match winless run by hammering Bournemouth 5-1 at Stamford Bridge. Jo�o Pedro and Jordan Henderson both scored twice, and Morgan Rogers added his fourth league goal since his big-money summer move from Aston Villa.The biggest boost, though, was the return of Moiss Caicedo from the calf injury that had restricted him to just 14 minutes before the break. Chelsea still conceded, as they have in 22 consecutive Premier League games, but it was the first time under Alonso that they hadnt let in at least two in the league.Chelsea are the divisions highest scorers, and they love a fast start. They have scored five goals in the opening five minutes of Premier League games this season, and they were 2-0 up against Bournemouth inside three minutes.History is not on their side, though. Everton have beaten Chelsea in seven of the last nine meetings on Merseyside, and Chelsea have failed to score in seven of those visits. Last season, Everton won 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the second defeat in a six-game losing run that ultimately cost Liam Rosenior his job.The Premier League Table Premier League 2026 England #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 5 1 Manchester City66001651118 W W W W W 2 Arsenal6501105515 W L W W W 3 Brighton64111851313 W W W D L 4 Brentford6240126610 D W D D D 5 Everton624085310 D W D D D 6 Chelsea63121513210 W L D L W 7 Leeds62318539 L D W D D 8 Hull City62318629 D L D D W 9 Liverpool62317709 L W D W D 10 Ipswich6303912-39 W L W L L 11 Newcastle62221013-38 L W L D W 12 Crystal Palace6213912-37 W D L W L 13 Manchester United61329906 D D L D W 14 Coventry6204511-66 W W L L L 15 Nottingham Forest612358-35 L L W D D 16 Aston Villa6123611-55 D W L D L 17 Sunderland6114612-64 L L L D W 18 Bournemouth6033713-63 L L D D D 19 Tottenham603339-63 D L D D L 20 Fulham6024610-42 L D D L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation Championship Team News for Everton v ChelseaVitaliy Mykolenko missed the Hull draw with a knock and remains doubtful.

Reece James is a doubt after missing games either side of the international break, and summer signing Emmanuel Emegha is still waiting for his debut after his move from Strasbourg.Alonso could name an unchanged side after the Bournemouth win, which would mean Caicedo and Henderson continuing together in midfield.Expected line-ups for Everton v ChelseaEverton: Pickford; Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski, Keane, Branthwaite; Garner, Armstrong; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; BarryChelsea: Martnez; Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill; Neto, Caicedo, Henderson, Chavarria; Palmer, Rogers; Jo�o PedroRecent Form & Stats for Everton v ChelseaJo�o Pedro has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season (five goals, three assists).Chelsea have scored five goals in the first five minutes of Premier League matches this season.Chelsea have conceded in 22 consecutive Premier League games, a run that began in January.Everton have won seven of the last nine meetings between the sides on Merseyside.Chelsea have won just one of their last nine Premier League visits to Everton (D2 L6).Chelsea have failed to score in their last three trips to Everton.
