Everton and Chelsea are both looking to bolster their European qualification hopes with a win as they face each other in Premier League action this weekend.

Everton occupy eighth place ahead of the clash, with Chelsea sitting five points ahead in sixth as they chase a Champions League spot.

David Moyes’ side lost 2-0 to Arsenal last weekend, but had enjoyed successive victories over Newcastle and Burnley prior to that game.

It was another horror show in midweek for Chelsea as they were beaten 3-0 by PSG to lose their Champions League round of 16 tie 8-2 on aggregate.

Liam Rosenior’s men have lost each of their last three games, but there is little time to rest, with Chelsea’s next match coming up on Merseyside this weekend.

Which channel is Everton vs Chelsea on?

Chelsea’s first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium takes place on Saturday, 21 March, with kick-off set for 5:30pm.

The game will be covered live for UK viewers on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, as well as Sky Sports+ and NOW TV, with coverage starting at 5pm.

Highlights will be available on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel, while Match Of The Day starts at 10:30pm on BBC One on Saturday evening.

Liam Rosenior needs a win at Everton amid sack doubts

Rosenior has only managed 18 Chelsea games since being appointed in January, but is already facing doubts around his future after their poor recent run of form.

The manner in which they succumbed to the two defeats to PSG will have angered those on the board after Football Insider revealed that Chelsea’s big spending is not sustainable and they need to play in the UCL each season to avoid huge losses.

They have won just one of their previous five league games and face a real battle with Liverpool and Aston Villa to finish in the top five.

Winning at Everton would go a long way to helping that quest and to restoring faith in Rosenior, but a loss could even see him lose his job before they play again after the international break.
