In Saturday's early kickoff, Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 thanks to a goal from Nicolas Jackson.
The outcome propelled Enzo Maresca's squad to fourth position, just below Manchester City.
In the first half, Jackson received the ball from Enzo Maresca and sent it low into the bottom corner of Jordan Pickford's net.
The Senegalese forward hadn't scored in four months until this.
Pickford saved multiple shots, including one from Noni Madueke, as the Blues were denied more scoring opportunities by a tenacious defense.
During a nail-biting last fifteen minutes at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer too came up empty as he continued his goal drought that had lasted three months.
With City playing in the FA Cup this weekend, Chelsea moved up to 60 points, one point behind. Currently, Everton hold the thirteenth position.
This season, the Champions League will be open to the top five teams in the Premier League.
