Follow Daily Mail Sport's live coverage for the latest updates of Everton's lunchtime clash with Chelsea, before updates from the 3pm kick-offs, including Brentford v Liverpool.

Are you sat? No, I mean it. Are you sat?

Well, you need to be, and preferably with a cuppa and some snacks. Who am I kidding, actually... you're probably reading this while on a train or walking somewhere. Or maybe you are at a cafe?

Anyway, you need to be focused because I am about to share the team news with you.

A big part of the day.

This. Is. A. Classic.

Everton and Chelsea may not have a rivalry, but this very fixture has garnered so many incredible moments for both teams. It always seems to deliver (well, when Everton are at home).

The Toffees absolutely hammered Chelsea at this ground last season; it was a real humbling. And well, they will be looking to do the same this afternoon.

Going by the fact that they remain unbeaten and the Blues have an absolutely rancid record against them away from home, David Moyes' men will feel fairly confident they can produce a repeat of last term.

But then again, we all know if Chelsea's attack springs to life at any moment, then Everton are in real trouble.

I can feel that its going to be one hell of a clash. I just know it.

Before we get stuck into the build-up today, let's take a look at what you have to look forward to.

Now, is it the most stacked Saturday ever? Nope. Not at all. But still, there are some decent fixtures in there.

Here is the menu for the day:

'Are you ready, are you ready for... matchday?'

Apologies, that has just been in my head all morning and I simply had to write it.

Anyway, the Premier League is back and it's time for us all to get overly excited for the next three days of action. If it's anything like the Champions League in midweek, we are in for a belter.

We start off the day on Merseyside for the Battle of the Blues, as Everton host Chelsea.

That is then followed by the Toffees' biggest rivals looking to get back to winning ways as they take on Brentford, while Manchester City host Ipswich.

Put it this way, it's going to be a very fun few hours. Personally, I am itching for it to get started.

So, without further ado, let's get crackalacking.
