Chelsea dropped points on the road on Sunday in the Premier League as they were held to a goalless draw at Goodison Park by Everton.
The stalemate left Chelsea standing second in the table with 35 points from 17 games, one behind Liverpool, who travel to Tottenham later in the day. However, the table-toppers would still have a game in hand over the chasing Blues after their game at the Tottenham Stadium.
Everton, who moved into the hands of new ownership earlier in the week, jumped up to 15th in the table, par on points with 16th-placed Crystal Palace who have a worse goal difference record following their 1-5 hammering by Arsenal on Saturday.
