Chelsea have maintained their unbeaten record under Thomas Tuchel with a 2-0 EPL win over Everton this morning.

The Blues took the lead through an Everton own goal before a Jorginho penalty secured all three points.

Chelsea are now unbeaten in 11 matches since their new manager took charge.

Their win over the Toffees leaves them in fourth place… just three points behind third placed Leicester.

Meanwhile, West Ham beat Leeds 2-0 to move to within two points of the top four, and keep up their push for a place in next season’s Champions League.

The Champions League is set for a major change from 2024.

Sources clubs are on the verge of agreeing to a proposal that will see the number of teams increased to 36, and an overhaul of the group stage into a single table, rather than the current groups of four clubs.

The radical change is seen as UEFA’s answer to the threat of the breakaway European Super League.

The board of directors at Liverpool reportedly still have faith in manager Jurgen Klopp.

This, despite the Reds currently struggling to make the EPL top four after losing four of their last five matches.

Insiders say the board still believes Klopp is the right man to lead Liverpool to more trophies, and they are confident the club’s fortunes will change once its injury crisis is over.
