the floodlights are beaming down on the players here at stamford bridge in west london my name
is derek ray and with me in the commentary position is the former arsenal full-back lee dixon
and looking forward to bringing you action from the premier league coming right up
it is chelsea facing everton well thank you derek
all the talking is done time now to put the coaches plans into action let's hope
both teams really have a go at each other from the start of this match he should be a cracker
well he's a striker who improves with each passing year timo vienna in the context of this game what
do you expect to see from him lee well when you're playing against a player sometimes
you're trying to look at what his qualities are is he a good hold up player is he quick is
he this is he that but when somebody tells you he's a finisher you know you're in big trouble
okay
and a look at the chelsea starting 11. and golocante starts alongside
matteo kovacich in central midfield and timo verna starts with olivier giroud
and here's how everton line up jordan pickford is the keeper michael keane plays alongside yeti
mina in central defense abdullah dukury plays alongside alan in central midfield
and they line up with just the one striker looking to do a bit of damage
it should be a match to look forward to chelsea get it underway alonso timo verna mateo kovacic
aspiely queso now
here's now not the best challenge and clears the danger
thomas rodriguez can they create something from here
he's in control of the situation he was certainly in the chance was there but credit has to go to
the defender league well part of a defender's job is to put players off doing their job and
that's exactly what they do there it's a decent effort in the end but under pressure
a fine reading of the situation
have they giving them too much space
jukure calvert-lewin onto segason
chance to take the lead
marcus alonso and he read it well intercepting it
and a throw in forthcoming
still pushing for that goal that would see them forge ahead
now potential danger well off the bar and out of play close yeah close indeed
technique just leaning back a little bit that's why it goes so high
sigurdsson
and here's alan
well nicely cut out now what can they do with the ball
mount careless in possession
calvert-lewin good-looking pass
james rodriguez keeper had work to do can they forge ahead from this corner kick let's see
over it comes on a strong glove on the ball from the keeper
sigurdsson
crossing possibilities ducudae
and a fine tackle
please charlize on not spot on with that challenge
delightful pass
so a corner here what about the opportunity from earlier let's have another look now shall we
chance to play us in now that's fine goalkeeping real concentration
a chance for them to provide a test in the form of a corner
and firing it into the area and the danger's still on marcus alonso
and the first 45 minutes have come and gone here at stanford bridge
so the beginning of the second half here at stamford bridge
untidy in possession junior and teammates to play it too
it's across towards the near post not to be this time how about james rodriguez
often the focus of attention will he be a bit disappointed with his own performance
well no goals for him no real chances either he needs to help his team a little bit more
just to get involved in the game i think he would be the difference if he was playing better
jukure and a throw in it's going to be
mateo kovacic possession lost useful looking position you've got to say
and a goal kick given
not giving him a moment's piece a chopping challenge and the referee has got to have
a big think about it and that will mean a caution well definitely yellow card derrick
kante
mount and chelsea have given us away a meaty but fair challenge and it will be a throw-in
now they're going to alter things here's the substitution coming on to the pitch
number 21 andreas gomez
kante looking for that final pass looking for the goal that would put them ahead
kante can he find the net well body in the way
that's a thorough understanding of defending aspiring
coming and plenty of scope to be creative in that wide position alan
good work to regain possession
olivier another perfect position to read it good looking ball
mount and chelsea still knocking on the door in the closing minutes can they find a winner
and it crossed the touch line so a throw in here
look at dina
alan thomas rodriguez on the ball davis and they're on the front foot looking for a winner
near the end of this game chelsea have it back now inside the final five minutes now
angola kante
here's mount
can he finish superb save and still they are level oh i love goals at the
end of games but i also love saves like that brilliant brilliant goalkeeping
and over comes the corner well as a defender that will suit you down to the ground
corner again and now the delivery no problems grabbing hold of that one
and the search goes on for a winner time is tight
abraham and that is the whistle for the end of the 90 nothing at all to separate these two
