Withholding rent and landlord's failure to fix things are two different issues. Your landlord had breached their duty of care, while you have failed to do your responsibility also as a tenant by not paying rent. However, you may still be able to challenge the eviction.
May I confirm what notice you received - a section 8 or section 21 notice?
In that case, you are entitled to stay in your home. Your landlord cannot evict you without written notice, and more importantly you cannot be evicted without a court order. The police also have no right to force you out of the property, so calling them would be futile on your landlord's part.
