Live Commentary
Time:90'- Everton
- Chelsea
90+4' There's the final whistle, and the holders hang on! It will be a replay at Stamford Bridge.- 90+3' Cech boots a clearance away, and time is ticking down - this looks like a replay.
- 90+2' Drogba drills a corner from the left that Mikel meets with a glancing header that goes a yard or two wide!
- 90+1' Three minutes of added time to play.
89' BECKFORD!! Ivanovic slices an attempted clearance, the ball drops for Beckford who has to hit it first time and his volley is tipped over by Cech! Powerful effort!- 88' Bosingwa dribbles down the right but Baines does well to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick.
- 87' Saha drives into the box from the left but cannot get into shooting position... Everton desperate for a winner here...
86' Everton substitution: Jermaine Beckford replaces Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.- 85' RAMIRES!! Strikes a low shot from 25 yards that cracks the base of the post and goes wide!
- 84' Chelsea substitution: John Obi Mikel is on for Frank Lampard.
- 83' Now Chelsea start to come forward and threaten. There is an air both of deflation and apprehension inside Goodison Park - it's pretty quiet.
- 82' After a lengthy, Drogba inflicted stoppage, Baines whips in a corner that hits Drog in the face... high comedy. In fairness to the Chelsea man, he has got a slightly bloody nose. But he's milking the injury to death, as you might imagine.
- 80' Drogba flops to the ground after apparently catching an arm in the face from Fellaini. Play will restart with an Everton corner...
- 79' Arteta is halted by Ivanovic who wins the ball, but then Ramires puts it out for a throw.
- 78' Here come Chelsea on the break again, as Ramires sprints forward and finds Anelka, who cuts inside and fires a low shot that Howard fields comfortably.
- 77' Bosingwa heads a Neville cross behind and it's another corner for Everton. Baines to take, this time from the left.
- 76' That goal was completely against the run of play and came less than a minute after Seamus Coleman came so close to doubling Everton's lead!
75' GOAL!!! CHELSEA LEVEL!! SUCKER PUNCH!! They come away on the break, Kalou jinks away from Distin and fires a low diagonal shot inside the left corner!!- 74' COLEMAN!! Meets Baines's cross with a downward header that Cech pushes away, and Essien makes a sensational block to prevent Coleman from netting the rebound!
- 74' Everton have had no end of possession in the Chelsea half and that trend continues here. They are in no rush to play a killer ball.
- 72' Terry fires a diagonal ball into the box from the left that bounces all the way through to Howard. Cue ironic cheers from the home fans.
- 71' Chelsea really need a spark here. They are 20 minutes away from losing their first FA Cup game since 2008, but are lacking intensity.
- 70' Chelsea substitution: Salomon Kalou replaces Florent Malouda. Chelsea dno't have much else on their bench, frankly.
- 69' Arteta tries a shot, but blasts it straight into the wall.
- 68' Late challenge on Coleman - again - and Everton have a free-kick 40 yards from the Chelsea goal. The sun in Cech's face...
- 67' Ramires runs into Fellaini and goes down clutching his face. I don't think he saw the big midfielder. Everton put the ball out...
- 66' Great spell of possession from Everton, but Phil Neville eventually gives it away with an attempted pass down the line for Coleman. Cole intercepts.
- 65' Chelsea are struggling with Coleman, and this time Essien blocks him off cynically. Everton very much on top here...
- 64' Bilyaletdinov chests a Neville cross with his back to goal, and tries an acrobatic overhead kick that never threatens to go in.
- 63' That's seven goals in eight games against Chelsea fior Louis Saha, who has given Everton their reward for a good spell of pressure.
- 62' GOAL!!! LOUIS SAHA!! He's done it again!! Baines's inswinging corner is right on the money, and Saha rises high to power his header in from seven yards!!
- 62' Neville crosses just behind Saha but the ball hits Ivanovic onb the knee and goes out for a corner on the right, Baines to take...
- 61' Bad tackle by Ramires, going in late on Arteta and kicking him in the shins. How is that not a booking?
- 61' Neville flings a long throw into the box for Fellaini, who claims he is being tugged back but Howard Webb doesn't want to know about it.
- 60' Drogba finds Anelka on the right side of the box... he cuts the ball back but loses possession.
- 59' The ball drops for Arteta 25 yards out, but the ball comes off the outside of his right boot and curls wide.
- 58' It's so cold, Gary Neville has gone inside. And there is no man in the world more determined to look hard than Gary Neville.
- 57' Cech absolutely middles a clearance which soars well into the Everton half but curls out for a throw.
- 56' Baines delivers the corner but this time Cech makes a confident catch.
- 56' Arteta swings the free-kick across and finds the head of Fellaini, whose powerful header is tipped over by Cech!
- 55' Cole trips Coleman needlessly on the Everton right, and this will be a good set-piece opportunity for the home team.
- 54' Lovely football from Everton to win the ball in midfield and work it to the left side...
- 53' The corner comes to nothing, but Everton look marginally the likelier side to break the deadlock.
- 52' Chance for Saha! Rodwell clips a cross over from the right to the far post, but Saha's volley from a tight angle is blocked!
- 51' Coleman uses his hands to block a Terry clearance, then Terry uses his hands to bash the Irishman in the face accidentally on purpose.
- 50' There are three FA Cup games live at the moment - check out all the latest check out all the latest action here.
- 49' On the Chelsea bench, John Obi Mikel is wearing a snood - nothing unusual there, except Mikel has got it over his mouth and nose...
- 48' Essien looks for Ashley Cole on the Chelsea left, but overhits his pass which goes out for a goal kick.
- 47' Baines sends in a good outswinging delivery, but there is no serious aerial challenge and Cech plucks it out of the air.
46' Second half under way! And immediately Everton have a corner.- - Chelsea are late coming out, leaving Everton strolling about in the cold. You imagine Carlo Ancelotti is above that sort of chicanery, so we'll put that down to an honest mistake.
- 45+2' That's half-time, and still goalless in an even contest. Back in a few minutes...
- 45+1' Ouch. Seamus Coleman is hit flush in the head by a Didier Drogba free-kick. Good block, but his ears will be ringing in the morning.
- 45' One minute of added time to be played at the end of the first half.
- 44' Arteta has been quiet so far, but he goes for goal from 30 yards... drives it a couple of feet wide of Cech's goal, though it would have had to be an absolute thunderbolt to go in from there.
- 43' Anelka plays a lovely one-two and has space going into the box, but his cross is deflected into the hands of Howard.
- 42' Fellaini shapes to shoot, and Essien is across very quickly to charge him down. Alert play from the Ghanaian.
- 41' Everton release Saha through the middle, but there are four Chelsea defenders back and the striker has no support. No chance.
- 40' Baines surges down the Everton left, but halts and the Toffees contrive to play the ball all the way back into their own half.
- 38' Terry looks like he is climbing all over Saha, but the Frenchman is penalised for backing in... a 50-50 decision, that.
- 37' That flurry of activity around the half-hour mark has subsided, and the game remains very evenly balanced.
- 36' John Terry gets his head on another corner and sends it high over the bar.
- 34' Coleman cuts inside from the right and crosses, but he miscues it and sends the ball out for a goal kick.
- 33' Now it's Everton's chance to come forward, and they have a penalty shout rejected as Baines's cross from the left hits a Chelsea arm.
- 32' This game is really opening up, with chances at both ends here...
- 31' Chance for Anelka as Ramires plays him in... Hooward gets just enough on it to tip it behind!
- 29' Collision between John Terry and Phil Neville, who rather cynically blocks off the Chelsea skipper. The TV cameras then brilliantly cut to a shot of Gary Neville in the crowd, chuckling to himself.
28' Offside aganist Anelka, who receives a threaded through ball from Lampard and hits his shot against the post. Wouldn't have counted.- 27' Neville crosses from the right, Ivanovic misjudges the flight of the ball and Bilyaletdinov sends a glancing header goalwards! Held by Cech.
- 26' Best chance of the game! Fellaini finds Saha who threads it through for Rodwell, whose low shot is straight at Petr Cech! Decent save, but Rodwell should have done better!
- 25' Saha claims he was being pushed in the back by Essien but referee Webb is right on the spot and tells him to get on with it.
- 23' A quarter of the game gone, and I'm not going to pretend this is a classic. Still, plenty of time for improvement.
- 22' Bosingwa marauds down the right, plays a give-and-go but cannot catch up with the return pass.
- 21' Malouda drills the ball into the six-yard box from the left, it takes a slight deflection and just eludes the outstretched boot of Drogba.
- 20' Everton corner on the left, which Baines will take... headed away before Everton lob it back, and Distin and Fellaini cannot combine to force it goalwards.
- 19' Everton work the ball to the left-hand side to Baines, whose cross is blocked out for a throw.
- 18' TERRY!! He meets Malouda's inswinging corner with a glancing header that goes just a foot or so over the bar! Tim Howard probably had it covered...
- 17' Lampard drives an inswinging free-kick into the box... it's a dangerous delivery which gets headed out for a corner on the Chelsea right.
- 16' Apparently it has been confirmed that Newcastle have rejected a £25m bid from Spurs for Andy Carroll. Seems like a staggeringly large offer, and a staggering rejection. He's not that good is he? Back to the game...
- 15' Ramires plays a low cross into the box for Essien, who volleys high over the bar.
- 13' Cole clears the ball into his own face and out for a throw, which is lobbed into the box and flicked on by Rodwell for BILYALETDINOV! He catches Bosingwa napping and steals in, but cannot make proper contact with his shot.
- 12' Rodwell plays a fine cross-field ball to Coleman, who has enjoyed a sensational debut season in the Premier League. He is a real livewire. Almost Bale-esque, albeit on the right side.
- 11' Chelsea do look a slicker operation in midfield with Frank Lampard, who is back following a calf injury.
- 10' Bilyaletdinov crosses from the Everton left... deep towards Coleman who gets his head on it but nods straight to a black shirt.
- 9' Chelsea have got hold of the ball now and are zipping it around at a decent pace. No penetration, however.
- 8' John Terry attemps a killer ball into the box for Malouda, but doesn't get it quite right.
- 6' Chelsea are playing from left to right in black with orange trim - Everton in blue and white. Everton's left flank and most of the Chelsea half are in shadow, with sun bathing the rest of the pitch.
- 5' Malouda dribbles inside before actually running around in a circle. The ball eventually makes its way to Drogba, who fires a tame shot straight at Howard.
- 4' A high ball into the Chelsea box causes a modicum of confusion before Cole helps it back to Cech.
- 3' A physical Phil Neville challenge on Malouda goes unpunished, much to the annoyance of Carlo Ancelotti who leaps off his seat.
- 2' Chelsea have barely had a kick so far... confident opening from Everton, although can you really draw firm conclusions from two minutes of play?
1' Game on! Early free-kick to Everton, lofted into the box by Heitinga... and away for an Everton throw that eventually gets scuffed away to safety.- 12:29 Referee Howard Webb leads the teams out, and pleasingly the ground seems to have filled up nicely in the last five minutes or so. Webb sent Everton's Johnny Heitinga off in the World Cup final.
- 12:27 The ubiquitous 'Tonight's gonna be a good night" song is irritating enough at the best of times, but come on - it's not even lunchtime.
- 12:25 There's a stat - nine of Chelsea's starting XI were also in the side against Everton at the 2009 final. No shortage of 30-somethings, who of whom - Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka - may be slightly perturbed at the apparently imminent arrival of Fernando Torres.
- 12:20 Still a lot of empty seats 10 minutes from kick-off. Don't know if it's fans wanting to keep out of the cold, but Goodison might be less than full for this one. Shame if so...
- 12:15 David Moyes has just told the TV Everton will look to "keep Chelsea quiet" while lavishing fairly effusive praise on the visitors. Fair enough.
- 12:10 If you're in the UK, you can watch this video analysing Louis Saha's individual battle against John Terry. Head to Head: Saha v Terry
- 12:05 Phil Jagielka (groin) only makes the bench for Everton, with Johnny Heitinga playing centre-back. Tim Cahill is still at the Asian Cup. Frank Lampard returns for Chelsea following a calf injury, with Carlo Ancelotti's side pretty much at full strength.
- 12:00 EVERTON: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Arteta, Fellaini, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Saha... Subs: Mucha, Hibbert, Jagielka, Beckford, Gueye, Osman, Baxter... CHELSEA: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Essien, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka... Subs: Hilario, Mikel, Ferreira, Kalou, Bruma, McEachran, Sala... Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)
- 11:55 This is a repeat of the 2009 final at Wembley. Louis Saha scored the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal after 25 seconds, but goals from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard won it for Guus Hiddink's men.
- 11:50 Liverpool's efforts to keep hold of Fernando Torres might be the talk of Merseyside, but with the Reds out of the FA Cup, Everton can reclaim the limelight with a win against the holders.
- 11:45 Welcome to LIVE coverage of Everton v Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth round at Goodison Park!
