Maurizio Sarri confesses he has too many midfielders for the same position at Chelsea

Maurizio Sarri extended his unbeaten start to Premier League management to a record 12 games as Chelsea were frustrated in a bad-tempered encounter with Everton.

The Italian is undefeated in competitive games at Chelsea, but must have wondered how his side missed out on a ninth league win as Jordan Pickford denied Marcos Alonso, Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard in Sunday's goalless draw.

Referee Kevin Friend doled out seven yellow cards in a tetchy contest, two coming following an off-the-ball incident between Bernard and Antonio Rudiger.

The height difference of one foot and Rudiger's amateur dramatics might have helped Bernard escape with a booking for motioning his head towards the defender.

Jorginho and Alonso could also be considered fortunate for avoiding greater punishment for challenges which caught the ankles of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott, respectively.

Sigurdsson comes off as he looks to have a little niggle. Jagielka replaces him to set up a 5-4-1 formation for Everton.

Fabregas slots a ball into the box looking for Morata who goes down in the penalty area after he collides with Keane. No penalty says the ref. 

Chelsea attack again this time with Fabregas in control but Everton look scrappy as they clear the ball away.

Boos echo from the Everton fans as Ross Barkley comes on for Kovacic, but Everton break with Richarlison, Rudiger comes across and blocks his way though.

84 mins: Chelsea 0 - 0 Everton. 

Richarlison wins a free kick down the left and Everton can get the ball into the box. Digne hits it long and Walcott keeps it in, Gueye looks to get a corner but only succeeds in giving away a goal kick.

Richarlison is brought down and the physios come on to bring him off the pitch. Morata isn't happy with what he sees as Everton time wasting and the referee books him for arguing.

90 mins: Chelsea 0 - 0 Everton

5 minutes added on at the end of this match. Still time for either team to nick the three points.

Chelsea 0 - 0 Everton

What a game from Everton. They were resilient and defended well against a resurgent Chelsea side in the second half. Chelsea will feel they've dropped points but Everton have come away with a good result.
