by It has been a difficult start to life as Chelsea manager for Graham Potter, but with three wins in a row, the London club may have turned a corner under his leadership as they look to extend their game against Everton on Saturday in the English Premier League .
Their last game 2-1 comeback win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League along with last weekend’s 3-1 EPL win over Leicester demonstrated real signs of progress at Stamford Bridge. While a top four finish looks out of reach, a strong finish to the season and a deep run in Europe now looks on the cards for Potter’s men.
Everton have also seen an upturn in form, having picked up 10 points since Sean Dyche’s appointment as boss, with last weekend’s impressive 1-0 win at home to high-flying Brentford arguably their best result of the season.
Still, the Toffees remain in deep relegation trouble with games winding down and they will be determined to pick up at least a point on this visit to London.
Below we outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

If you’re unable to watch the game locally, you may need another way to watch the game – that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speed on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you’ll add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like ours Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPNmakes it very easy to do this.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN
- With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming EPL matches can vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search by city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on the VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered to your account. Second, some smart TVs—like Roku—don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you need to install the VPN on the router or mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on your Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to confirm a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address registered with the smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will help, as both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember that browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
