Is Everton v Chelsea on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture

Chelsea will look to bounce back from Champions League embarrassment as they return to Premier League action at Everton.

Liam Rosenior’s side lost 3-0 to holders Paris Saint-Germain to exit the last-16 with an 8-2 aggregate defeat to the French side.

It puts some pressure on Rosenior’s shoulders as the Blues look to battle for a top-five finish, having won just once in their last five Premier League fixtures.

Everton ended their long wait for a home Premier League win when they defeated Burnley 2-0 at the start of the month, before a late 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.

David Moyes’s side sit just five points behind Chelsea and could remain in the hunt for Europe with a victory against the Blues this evening.

When is Everton v Chelsea?

Kick-off is 5:30pm on Saturday 21 March.

How can I watch it?

It will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League.

What is the team news?

James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite could return after missing the defeat at Arsenal. Tyrique George is ineligible to face his parent club.

Chelsea will be without injured captain Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. Malo Gusto has been dealing with illness.

Possible line-ups

Everton XI: Pickford; O’Brian, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto

Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Acheampong, Cucurella; Caicedo, Santos; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Pedro
