the cameras are fixed to one man in fantastic form
and the top scorer in the league can he add to his tally today live on ea tv
excitement and drama in prospect tonight here at stamford bridge in west london i'm derek
ray joined by lee dixon in the commentary position and very much looking forward to
bringing you action from the premier league it's chelsea facing everton yeah thanks derek
i'm just hoping we get a nice quick tempo from the start of this game both teams do like to get
forward both positive in their approach in the game so we should be in for some entertainment
well we know how troublesome he can be on the pitch but what should we expect from him today lee
well i hope these defenders have read the player notes for this game they're up against the goal
machine they need all their focus and attention to stop him scoring today watch this space and a look
at the chelsea starting eleven kurt zuma plays alongside thiago silva in central defence and
as for the attack well it has a bold look about it with three forwards listed from the beginning
and here's how ever certain lineup it's almost interesting to try to sum up a team's style of
play their approach um there are many who think that it's overly conservative in this case what do
you think lee well derek it's not my preferred way of playing that's for sure but horses for courses
it's fine until you concede do they have a plan b if that happens i'm not too sure
hoping for plenty of excitement here at stamford bridge
thiago silva
court zuma
it has gone over the touchline for what will be a throw-in they get the ball once more
kante
on to holland he succeeds in clearing it
alan the ball with james rodriguez
and the referee spotted the foul but has played advantage
an effective challenge
this looks promising the delivery that's all they can conjure for now so a throw into chelsea
chillwell fine cross into the middle cleared away
alan moyes keene
it's with dukul day
unable to get a body in the way and kai habits
looking confident with the ball at his feet can they take the lead absolutely spot on
with that challenge holgate and the ball's gone not showing good defensive judgement
ziyash james holland kante now giorgino
a fine use of the ball with a textbook interception
getting right on top of their opponents and winning it back
whatever way you look at that it's been
squandered alan
and the no-nonsense clearance
now the referee not too happy with the challenge and blows for a free kick
a decisive clearance it was
good defending
well the counter chance looks very real and he's broken free
and a goal to give them the lead they have their reward
well let's look at this again magical football on the break surprise is the key and that eventually
leads to what amounts to a simple task of rounding the goalkeeper 2v1 there's only one winner
well he's got to be delighted with his players a big smile on his face they've
got the noses in front they're in the lead well done one nil then
jukure and a goal kick given
james
plenty of forward momentum here but can they produce
georginio holland
a glorious chance what a high quality stop it was
well look at the speed he sets himself derrick he gets ready and makes a really good save
and now the delivery
and that brings the first half to an end well positive signs for chelsea lee
they lead at the interval well this lot just like my back four at arsenal they pride themselves on
clean sheets another one in that first half and i can't really see it changing in the setting to be
plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second half begins
nice looking pass
bernard and here is mausa
did well to win the ball back
oh lovely incisive pass now will they do it from here
it's gone in well they're really in the mood here can they be stopped
well let's see the replay and look at the pace at which the counter attack happens
and he chooses to use power in the finish not much chance for the keeper when he's hit that hard
well a second goal for them here
really effective shielding under pressure alan
and we very much hope you'll join us for more live chances on
and to increase their advantage to three can they be stopped
well here's the replay and as we can see the defense can't cope with the through ball
and then through on goal do you go for placement or do you go for power well he certainly wasn't
messing around was he absolutely smashes it past the keeper it's a really lovely finish
well no wonder he's delighted they've been busting this game up to now
now they get the ball moving once more it's been all chelsea so far
new sense there could be extra punishment handed out
hamas rodriguez no danger here as he runs at them
crossed accurately towards the far post and the keeper was always likely to do his job
under no pressure free kick to chelsea well they are committed to making the substitution here
thiago silva naspi liqueta now
giorgino alfonso davies onto georgina
can they open up the defense here
excellent vision just too much on that pass and a throw in forthcoming
and time for the change now
angola kante attacking possibilities for chelsea and he read it superbly
well it's come down to the final 20 minutes here
on the ball with alfonso davies
and slipped through beautifully
just been a thoroughly cogent and convincing performance
in this match lee well the creative teamwork of chelsea tonight has been absolutely superb
the players have all been on the same hymn sheet the flow the movement it's been brilliant
thiago silva
only 10 minutes remaining here couldn't keep it
shrivers alan
oh lovely weighted ball they might be in
absolutely spot on with that challenge
and chelsea have given us away chance to cross
and crossing towards the far post well no danger now
delivered from the referee to the fourth official three minutes on the board
so the final whistle now it goes down as a victory for chelsea to the delight of their
fans around the world lee well we highlighted how good their defense was before the game and
you have to say they have forwards who know where the goals are too a pretty decent unit
all round you have to say the manager will be thrilled by this win easy game isn't it derek
