Sunday’s big game in the Premier League sees title-chasing Liverpool host relegation-threatened neighbours Everton at Anfield, with Frank Lampard’s team facing dropping into the bottom three just before kick-off as Burnley lead at home to Wolves.
The Reds are still in the running for an unprecedented quadruple this season, but have no margin for error in the championship race after Man City hammered Watford on Saturday to move four points clear having played a game more. Jurgen Klopp’s team have only dropped points once in the league since 2 January though, that being at City only a couple of weeks ago - every other league fixture has ended in victory. They’re also into the FA Cup final and the Champions League semis, the first leg of which against Villarreal comes on Wednesday night.
Everton, meanwhile, have won just one of their last four and despite securing a last-gasp point against Leicester in midweek, they’re now on the verge of the drop zone and facing a very tough end to the season with Chelsea and Leicester next up, making this derby meeting even more important than usual. Follow all the live action from Anfield following the conclusion of the 2pm kick-offs below:
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
80 mins: You get the feeling there is going to be at least one more big chance in this game. The momentum now seems to be with Chelsea but West Ham have the threat of the break through a fresh Jarrod Bowen.
Ziyech tries to find Lukaku with a cross into the middle but gets it horribly wrong and West Ham have themselves a goal kick.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
79 mins: My mistake, Havertz went off rather than Mount. I know that because Mount just fired a long-range strike over the top.
Meanwhile, West Ham make another change. Manuel Lanzini comes on for Said Benrahma.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
77 mins: Werner, Loftus-Cheek and Havertz off for Lukaku, Ziyech and Pulisic. Major shake-up with 13 minutes remaining.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
76 mins: Havertz escapes down the right but Johnson gets there first to turn his cross away.
Then Kante receives the ball inside the box but his shot is blocked.
Here come three changes for Chelsea...

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
75 mins: Another chance for Chelsea!
Mount’s initial corner comes back out to him. He lays it off to Alonso who sends the cross into the box and it falls kindly for Werner who flicks it towards the top corner but Fabianski makes the save.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
73 mins: Jarrod Bowen is on for Andriy Yarmolenko. David Moyes not settling for a point here today.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
72 mins: Chelsea finally beginning to open West Ham up!
Mount has the time to send a cross into the middle from the left-hand side and somehow it evades Werner, Havertz and Loftus-Cheek!
Not sure how that managed to miss three Chelsea players and four West Ham defenders.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
70 mins: MASSIVE CHANCES FOR BOTH!
Yarmolenko storms down the right, cuts inside and rifles an effort off the body of Mendy. He has a second bite at it but Mendy is equal to it once more.
Then Chelsea break and Mount’s fierce effort is superbly blocked AGAIN by Dawson before Werner’s close range follow-up is fired into the side-netting.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
68 mins: Fornals gallops forward and tries to slide a pass into Yarmolenko but he puts way too much on the through ball and Mendy can gather.
Thiago Silva then storms through the middle of the pitch before unleashing a shot which cannons off Werner in an offside position.
That. Sort. Of. Game.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
66 mins: Chelsea are knocking the ball around on the halfway line but have very little desire to move it forward with any conviction.
Eventually they lose it and Cresswell wins a throw-in off Havertz.
