Everton 1 - 0 Stoke
Stoke almost certainly doomed to relegation after a narrow loss against Everton, they fought hard and had there chances but when your down at the bottom and nothing going your way maybe its time to start preparing for next season, a Raheem Sterling goal was enough to seal the points for the home side
Raheem Sterling (Kovacic,54)
MOTM - Sterling
Chelsea v Liverpool
A tough game for Liverpool but one they set up well for, Milinkovic-Savic is key in making it a midfield three/five when out of possession and it frustrates Chelsea. Chelsea do have the firepower in Mbappe, Aguero and Neymar, but with Liverpool almost having 10 men behind the ball at times it led to them being crowded out.
Chelsea's midfield had a lot of possession though, and this is how the breakthrough came, as the Dabbing Mulumbu picked up the ball 30 yards out, all Milinkovic-Savic could do was deflect his shot past the wrong footed Pope in goal, 1-0 Chelsea.
Liverpool kept the game tight into the second half, staying in the game at 1-0, the tactical change came with Gaya on for Zagadou, he made an instant impact as when overlapping Lemar, his cross wasn't cleared, and Sabitzer was on hand to fire in the equaliser.
Chelsea's turn to make changes now, as Tolisso, Jesus and Poulsen came on for Rakitic, Pogba and Aguero, however this upset the momentum Chelsea had built in the first hour of this game, as it gave Liverpool's midfield trio the opportunity to grab hold of more of the possession, Chelsea did push for the winner with Neymar dropping deeper but it wasn't to be as Liverpool held out for a very good point.
Full time:
Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool
Pogba (Rakitic) 34; Sabitzer (Gaya) 63
