HT: Chelsea 1-0 Everton
Cole Palmer has been like the invisible man for The Blues so far in this game.
It is crazy how much his form has dropped off in the second half of the season for Chelsea, their talisman has often been carrying this side single-handedly.
David Moyes will need to change things around if his side are going to stand any chance of getting something from their trip to the capital.

All the talk before the game might have been about Cole Palmer but Nicolas Jackson’s own 13-match scoring drought has been as much of a problem.
No wonder, then, that the Senegal striker was the happiest man at the Bridge as he crashed home the goal that Chelsea deserved, against an Everton side whose only attempt of the half saw Doucoure head well wide in stoppage time.
A terrific effort too, instant on the spin from the edge of the box after Beto lost the ball in the centre-circle and the Everton defence was left exposed.
Chelsea will go fourth, on goal difference, as it stands, although having played a game more than their top five rivals. Everton have offered the square root of next to nothing.
