Everton v Chelsea live stream: How to watch the Premier League from anywhere in the world
Watch an Everton v Chelsea live stream as Frank Lampard faces his old club
Everton v Chelsea live stream, Sunday 1 May, 2pm BST
Frank Lampard will be desperate to get one over on his former club as Everton seek a much-needed win against Chelsea.
The Toffees turned in a spirited display in the first half of their trip to Anfield last weekend, but Liverpool ultimately proved too strong for their Merseyside neighbours and ran out 2-0 winners. That result, coupled with Burnley's improbable revival, has left Everton in a precarious position as the finish line comes into sight.
Going into the weekend, Lampard's side are two points adrift of safety. That gap may well have increased to five by the time Everton take to the field on Sunday, since Burnley have a winnable game against Watford a day earlier. Regardless, the pressure will be on the home team at Goodison Park.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Manchester United in a rearranged fixture on Thursday night. The Blues were by far the better team and should really have emerged triumphant, but the point they picked up has in effect secured their place in the Champions League next term. It would take a monumental turnaround for Chelsea to drop out of the top four from here.
Thomas Tuchel will have to make do without Mateo Kovacic until next weekend at the earliest, while Ross Barkley is unlikely to be in the matchday squad against his former club due to illness.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Chilwell will also miss out on Sunday, but Andreas Christensen could be involved in some capacity.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a doubt to start against Chelsea, but he could be passed fit enough for a place among the substitutes. Lampard is also hoping to have Andre Gomes and Donny van de Beek back sooner rather than later, but the midfield duo may have to undergo late fitness tests.
Elsewhere, Everton will be unable to call upon the services of Andros Townsend, Tom Davies and Ben Godfrey, but Yerry Mina is expected to be available for selection.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST on Sunday 1 May. UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee

NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!
