Is Everton v Chelsea on TV? Channel, live stream, kick-off time, early team news

Everton kick-off their Premier League campaign on Saturday evening when they welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park.

In last season's corresponding fixture Blues boss Lampard got one over the club where he remains a legend. Richarlison's second-half strike earned Everton a 1-0 win that proved crucial in their ultimately successful battle against relegation.

Despite the loss of star man Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, Evertonians will be hoping for a more comfortable campaign this time around. And there would be no way better way to start it than with victory against Thomas Tuchel's big spending side.
