Everton v Chelsea live: score, updates and line-ups

Goalless at the break but it's Everton who can be the happier side, having led on shots on target throughout despite Chelsea's dominance of possession. Pickford had to be alert late on, tipping over a Neto effort before Lacroix headed a corner against a crowded six-yard box in stoppage time. Four bookings - Armstrong and Tarkowski for Everton, Neto and Rogers for Chelsea - tell the story of a feisty, niggly first 45 minutes at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton have continued to look the brighter side despite Chelsea's grip on possession. Grealish and Barry both forced smart saves from Martínez, while Tarkowski picked up a booking amid a cluster of cards for both sides. Chelsea's best moment came right at the end of the spell as Caicedo crashed a shot against the bar from a corner, but it's Everton who lead 4-1 on shots on target heading towards half-time at 0-0.

Despite still seeing far less of the ball, Everton have been the sharper side in front of goal over the last ten minutes. Röhl forced a good save from Martínez and Barry's header was also kept out, while Harrison Armstrong's reckless challenge earned him a booking and Pedro Neto has since joined him in the book for Chelsea. It's still goalless, but the hosts now lead 2-1 on shots on target and have won both corners of the match so far.

Chelsea have had the better of the early possession, dominating the ball at 73% to Everton's 27%, but neither side has truly threatened with a shot yet. It's been a scrappy, foul-strewn start - Caicedo has given away a couple of free kicks - and Grealish was flagged offside as Everton tried to break forward. Goalless and cagey after a quarter of an hour at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
