Chelsea vs Everton Live Stream: Watch Free Online English Premier League Game From Stamford Bridge

May 19, 2013 10:16 AM EDT

Chelsea will look to seal third place in the English Premier League when they host Everton in the final game of the season.

The Blues, on a high after their Europa League triumph, are two points ahead of Arsenal, who are fourth and a win will confirm their place in the group stages of the Champions League.

Chelsea and Arsenal might also have to play a playoff if the former draws 0-0 with Everton and Arsenal win 2-1 at Newcastle, with those results rendering everything equal for both sides, including goal difference.

The game will also be the final one for Rafa Benitez, who will step down at the end of the season.

"We want to win, I don't expect any draw," Benitez said. "If Arsenal win we will see, but also Tottenham can say something. We are just talking about Chelsea and Arsenal but maybe Tottenham can be there. We have to approach the day for us thinking about to win and after see what happens.

"Tottenham and Arsenal will both try to win. They play for something important, it will be different for Sunderland and Newcastle but they are professional and will try to win.

"We have to concentrate on what we can do and try to win our game. We have been working so hard in the season that it would be a pity if we could not finish in the top three.

"We will try to win and we won't consider any other option. If we have to do it, these are the rules, but we will try to avoid the situation. I have confidence we will do it."

Chelsea will be without skipper John Terry, Ryan Bertrand and Eden Hazard, but Demba Ba returns after missing the Europa League final due to him being ineligible.

Everton manager David Moyes will also manage his final game for Everton, with the Scot set to take over the reins at Manchester United next season.

"It would mean a lot to win the game," Moyes said on his last game as Everton manager. "I want to win as many games as we can and I want to finish the season with a win. We've had a good record all season. We'll go to Chelsea and go there trying to get the three points."
