Everton 3-1 Chelsea: Barclays Premier League as it happened

A fine and deserved first home win of the season for Everton, who move up to fourth in the Premier League before their trip to Swansea next weekend. As for Chelsea, they were very utterly ineffective during that second half and remain extremely brittle in defence.

This is now their worst start to a season since 1988 and Mourinho's side host Arsenal on 19 September after a Champions League meeting at home to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

That is all for this particular blog, but join IBTimes UK here for live coverage of this afternoon's 1500 BST kick-offs. Goodbye.

Full-time

Everton 3-1 Chelsea

Confusion in the Blues' defence as Terry, Zouma and Begovic fail to deal with a bouncing ball. Naismith lurks menacingly before taking a hefty whack on the head from the goalkeeper as he strives to clear his lines.

Funes Mori shows no sign of any debut nerves as he brings the ball out of defence with pace before being chopped down unceremoniously by Costa. A deserved yellow card for the striker.

Chelsea's wretched afternoon is summed up as Willian overhits a sweeping crossfield ball towards the run of Hazard. Four minutes of added time signalled by the fourth official.

A caution apiece as Stones is booked for kicking the ball away and Azpilicueta likewise for a rash foul on the wily Lennon.

Hazard clips the ball to the back post towards Falcao, but the substitute cannot get a proper purchase on his header and it's easy for Howard to claim.

Chelsea have monopolised the ball for parts of this second half but they have now been punished for their lack of creativity. Everton move the ball around sweetly through the likes of Stones, Lennon and Barkley, before the latter slips the ball behind the opposition's defences for Naismith.

Already on a brace, the 28-year-old stays cool to complete his first ever Premier League hat-trick by slotting home through the legs of Begovic. Surely game over now.

Goal: Everton 3-1 Chelsea (Steven Naismith)

Chelsea are enjoying a lot of possession and territory here without really creating too much by way of clear-cut chances. Willian frustrates his waiting teammates by sending a corner straight out of play.

Coleman tries his luck from the edge of the box but he cannot keep the effort down. The Republic of Ireland international looks to have picked up a knock in the process and is replaced by debutant Funes Mori.

A final roll of the dice for Chelsea as Cesc Fabregas is withdrawn and replaced by Willian.

A second Everton debut for ex-England winger Lennon, who comes on with just under 20 minutes of the match remaining. Kone jogs off.

Mourinho makes a second change as Radamel Falcao comes on for Pedro. Chelsea break forward once more through Ivanovic but Costa fails to get a shot away and a corner comes to nothing.

End-to-end stuff as Lukaku then gets caught in two minds whether to shoot or pick out Kone at the back post.

Begovic is called into action once more as Naismith finds Lukaku and the former Chelsea striker fires a shot straight at him. Azpilicueta is alert to turn the rebound behind.

Chelsea launch a swift counter attack after Kone's shot is saved by Begovic but unconvincing shouts for a penalty are ignored following a coming together between Naismith and Pedro.

Galloway is belatedly shown a yellow card for a crass foul on the Spaniard. That is the first booking of the afternoon.

Lukaku looks to take on Terry but his skewed cross-cum-shot is driven into the side netting.

A chance for Lukaku to restore Everton's lead is spurned as the powerful Belgian's low shot is parried by Begovic. The home crowd then appeal loudly for a pass back as Terry touches the ball to his goalkeeper under pressure.

Andre Marriner is unmoved, but that should have been given.

Coleman wins a corner for Everton. It's a good delivery from Barkley, but his header flies over Begovic's crossbar.

A first substitution of the day as 19-year-old Brazilian Kenedy, who finally joined Chelsea from Fluminese in August after a delay in securing a work permit, is introduced at the expense of Mikel.

An understandably attacking change from Mourinho as his side look to find an equaliser.

Chelsea are looking to sustain a bit of pressure as Zouma sees a shot blocked before going down with what looks like a knee issue following a tough challenge with the impressive Barry. Cahill is on the bench, remember.

A physical start to the second 45, with Barry and Matic in particular battling for their respective sides in midfield. A nervy moment for Begovic as he is forced to race out and clear an underhit backpass.

The second half is now underway. No personnel changes from either manager at the break.

An entertaining 45 minutes is brought to a close. After an even start, Naismith's introduction proved pivotal for Everton and his impressive run of goals against Chelsea has continued amid some woeful defending from the likes of Ivanovic.

The champions have grown into the game after a dismal start and there is an unlikely to be a better goal scored in the Premier League this weekend than that wonderful strike from Matic. Still plenty of time for the visitors to salvage this.

Half-time

Everton 2-1 Chelsea

Lukaku spins and finds Naismith, who once again gets beyond Ivanovic and leaves the defender appealing in vain for an offside flag. A lack of options lead to him holding possession, however, and his eventual cross towards the back post is just too high for Coleman.

The half-time whistle blows.

The increasingly influential Matic feeds Pedro just outside the box, but in trying to bend his shot round Jagielka he fires harmlessly over.

Two minutes of added time at the end of the first half.

A first attack from Everton for what feels like quite a while comes to nothing as Barry's ball towards the run of Kone is overhit. The half-time whistle likely cannot come soon enough for Martinez.

Much more fluency, purpose and ambition from Chelsea now. Matic tries his luck with another long-range shot before Stones and Jagielka deny Costa and Zouma.

A low effort from Hazard is then dragged wide via a deflection.

Mourinho was unmoved by that fabulous strike, but his team are now pushing hard for an equaliser before the break. Hazard sees a goalbound strike deflected wide by Barry before Terry heads his cross inches over the crossbar.

Chelsea have not posed much of a threat in this first 35 minutes but they are back in contention following an absolute stunner from Matic. Receiving possession from a simple throw-in, the unmarked midfielder arrows a strike from all of 35 yards past Howard and into the top corner. What a goal.

Goal: Everton 2-1 Chelsea (Nemanja Matic)

Chelsea somewhat fortunate to win a free-kick there as Ivanovic falls under persistent pressure from Naismith. Everton functioning very well as a unit with Barkley, Coleman, Barry and Kone linking up well.

Chelsea are trying to work the ball through the middle of the park through the likes of Costa, Pedro and Hazard but Everton are getting bodies behind the ball quickly and efficiently. Jagielka and particularly Stones looking assured in defence.

A stat for Naismith to be rather proud of....

No team in the entire Premier League has conceded more goals than Chelsea now. The deficit could have been stretched even further there had Mikel not risen to prevent Kone's teasing cross from reaching Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea need to find a quick response here and only a sliding block from Stones denies Cesar Azpilicueta. Costa ruffling a few feathers as usual with his physical approach.

Martinez will have been disappointed to lose Besic so early, but what an incredible impact Naismith is having. After being fed by Barkley, the former Rangers man is inexplicably left to his own devices by the sluggish Ivanovic and proceeds to rifle a low effort past Begovic.

What a start for the hosts.

Goal: Everton 2-0 Chelsea (Steven Naismith)

Chelsea are rocking here and Everton will be wondering how they have not doubled their lead already. Begovic produces a wonderful fingertip save to deny Arouna Kone after he made good contact with Coleman's delivery and he has to be alert again shortly afterward to parry a fierce shot from James McCarthy.

Chelsea's poor start to the season continues as Everton edge ahead with the first real chance of the game. Barkley and Galloway exchange passes and the ball ends up with Naismith on the edge of the penalty area.

He produces a nice piece of skill to evade the attentions of Nemanja Matic and passes the ball back out to Galloway before bursting into the space between Terry and Zouma to head home.

Goal: Everton 1-0 Chelsea (Steven Naismith)

Costa looks to break clear in the Everton penalty area but he is well shackled by the experienced Jagielka. Very composed defending.

A lively altercation between Ivanovic and Naismith as the former just about shepherds the ball out of play for a goal kick following an overhit pass. He looked unhappy with what appeared to be a little kick-out from Naismith. That could be a contest to watch closely.

A bit of a let-off for Ivanovic as a cross from Seamus Coleman drifts beyond the head of Naismith at the back post. Chelsea's right-back had been drawn a little too central there.

Chelsea swarm down the right-flank with Ivanovic and Eden Hazard creating a potentially dangerous two-on-one situation, but Galloway quickly comes across to snuff out the threat. Zouma is unable to turn the subsequent corner goalbound.

A first shot in anger from Ross Barkley fizzes well wide of Begovic's left-hand post. One final attempt from Besic to shake off that injury fails and Naismith is on. The Bosnian's disappointing week continues.

Besic is back on but still seems to be clutching his hamstring. Steven Naismith is preparing to come on.

An injury concern for Martinez as Besic wins the first corner of the afternoon in a challenge with Zouma but goes down in obvious discomfort. He is now receiving treatment off the pitch as Everton are forced to defend with 10 men.

A lovely pass from Galloway to launch that attack.

An early cross from Ivanovic is straight down the throat of Howard. Stones is then greeted with rapturous applause from the Gwladys Street end after he muscles Diego Costa off the ball following an initial nutmeg.

Stones predictably cheered by the home supporters upon his first touch of the ball . Mourinho, meanwhile, is not being particularly well received...

Andre Marriner gets proceedings underway at Goodison. Can Everton further exploit Chelsea's worst start to a league season for 20 years and secure their first home win in the process?

No player will have had a stranger international break than Besic. During a Euro 2016 qualifier for Bosnia and Herzegovina against minnows Andorra in Zenica, the Everton midfielder was shown a straight red card midway through the second half of a 3-0 victory for tossing his chewing gum - yes, really - at Victor Rodriguez Soria.

With just under 15 minutes remaining until kick-off, a reminder of the other Premier League fixtures taking place this weekend:

Arsenal v Stoke

Crystal Palace v Manchester City

Norwich v Bournemouth

Watford v Swansea

West Brom v Southampton

1730 BST:

Manchester United v Liverpool

Sunday 13 September

Sunderland v Tottenham

Leicester v Aston Villa

Monday 14 September

West Ham v Newcastle

If last year's meeting between these two teams on Merseyside is anything to go by, then we could be in for something of a goalfest this afternoon. Inspired by Diego Costa, Chelsea eventually came out on top 6-3 after a manic game that featured five goals in just 10 second-half minutes.

The return fixture was a tamer affair, with a 1-0 victory secured by Willian's 89th-minute effort after Gareth Barry had been dismissed. Branislav Ivanovic escaped punishment for an altercation with James McCarthy and there were several excellent saves from Tim Howard and Petr Cech.

In total, Everton have won four of their last six meetings against Chelsea at Goodison. They have failed to score in their last two matches, however, and have taken all three points in just two of their last eight top-flight games.

A spicy end to Mourinho's pre-match television interview after he appeared to take exception to yet another question regarding his failed pursuit of Stones.

Everton, still without influential left-back Leighton Baines, have enjoyed a solid if somewhat unspectacular start to the new campaign, with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their opening five matches in all competitions.

Keeping hold of Stones despite the financial incentives on offer will have given everyone a massive lift and the player has shown enough maturity since his move from Barnsley in January 2013 to suggest he will not let the continued speculation impact upon his performances.

Former River Plate defender Ramiro Funes Mori, their most expensive signing of the summer transfer window at £9.5m, is named among the substitutes today. Likewise former loanee Aaron Lennon, who will be eager to make his second Toffees debut after a rather sour end to his decade at Tottenham.

The news that Courtois could be out of action until the new year is an enormous blow at exactly the wrong time. However, in Begovic, who joined in an £8m deal from Stoke in July, Chelsea have an able duty with plenty of experience who has already stepped into the breach twice already this term. Academy graduate Jamal Blackman has now been elevated to number two 'keeper, despite only playing once during a difficult loan spell with Middlesbrough last term.

The addition of Mikel is obviously an indication that Mourinho believes Chelsea have been far too open during a wholly unconvincing start to their title defence. The Blues have won just one of their opening four Premier League games and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace immediately before the international break.

The signings of centre-backs Papy Djilobodji and Michael Hector, the latter of whom has been immediately loaned back to Reading, hardly inspired much enthusiasm among frustrated supporters despite the earlier acquisition of Pedro. Already trailing early pacesetters and last year's runners-up Manchester City by eight points ahead of their visit to Crystal Palace later today, this is a match that Chelsea will be desperate not to lose.

For the visitors, John Terry returns from his one-match suspension and will line up alongside Kurt Zouma at centre-back. Gary Cahill drops to the bench. First-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois requires surgery to correct a torn meniscus and is replaced by Asmir Begovic. Jose Mourinho has also attempted to shore up the midfield by introducing John Obi Mikel at the expense of Willian.

As expected, Stones starts alongside captain Phil Jagielka at the heart of Everton's backline. 19-year-old full-back Brendan Galloway returns from a knee problem to replace the injured Bryan Oviedo, while Muhamed Besic is in for Tom Cleverley after the latter suffered ankle ligament damage during the goalless draw at Tottenham a fortnight ago. He faces up to eight weeks on the sidelines.

A very good morning and welcome to IBTimes UK's live coverage of Everton v Chelsea, AKA the 'John Stones derby'.

The versatile England defender was subject to four bids from today's visitors and even submitted a transfer request in order to force through a move, but Bill Kenwright and Roberto Martinez stood firm and held onto their man against the odds. All eyes will be on Stones today to see how he handles the occasion.

Stay tuned for breaking team news, confirmed line-ups and live updates from Goodison Park....
