    • 84' Jagielka content to roll the ball right back to Howard from the halfway line. Cheltenham simply lacking the quality to trouble the visiting side.

    • 47' Before today, Everton haven't kept a clean sheet in a competitive game since September 22nd 2012 - 17 games ago. Will this be clean sheet tonight?
    • 46' Everton get the action off and running in this second half.
    • 45+2' There goes the whistle for the break! A 2-0 lead for Everton. Well worthy of their lead. Has been a professional display by David Moyes's side.

    • 43' Cheltenham would dearly love one goal back here, but Everton have hardly been under a sustained period of pressure in this match.
    • 42' Pack reacts quickest to head clear the delivery by Baines. We remain at 2-0 to Everton heading for the break.

    • 39' Distin thumps a clearance miles up the park after Goulding had tried to engineer some space.

    • 36' Ball breaks to the eager Jermaine McGlashan, but he can't get over the ball as his volley flies well over the bar. Goalkick to Everton.
    • 35' Jones tries to pick out one of seven team-mates with the free-kick, but Everton survive before Distin clears.

    • 32' Sido Jombarti clearly fouling Howard as he punched clear. Foul and free-kick to Everton.
    • 31' Jones with the corner, but Jelavic does well to glance that header behind for another corner to the home side.
    • 30' Everton so much in control of the ball. The home fans slightly subdued at the moment. Trying to encourage their side as Pack sees a shot deflect well over the bar. Corner to Cheltenham.
    • 29' Four players dashing out to meet Marouane Fellaini, whose shot spins wide of the goal from 18 yards. Everton chasing a third goal that would bury matters.
    • 28' Baines has now also scored in Everton's last four FA Cup ties in the third round.
    • 27' Howard thumps the goalkick long down the park from deep. Everton content to keep possession.
    • 26' Leighton Baines has scored a goal in back to back appearances for the first time in his professional career.
    • 25' Carter on the run for the home side. Takes up a good position, but can only prod the volley well over the bar from 22 yards out.
    • 24' Didn't look like a penalty to Everton, but visiting manager David Moyes won't be complaining about how this first half is working out.
    • 23' Carter with a hopeful ball up the park, but comes off his shin. Suddenly the life has gone out of the League Two side.
    • 22' Winners of this match visit Bolton or Sunderland in the fourth round. Looks like Everton are on their way unless some large slice of misfortune visits them.
    • 21' GOAL! Baines plants the ball low to the keeper's right. Brown guessed right, but too much pace on the shot. A 2-0 lead for Everton now.
    • 20' PENALTY TO EVERTON! Marouane Fellaini is fouled by Bennett in the home box. Was deemed to be jumping on the shoulders of Marouane Fellaini.
    • 19' Brown dives to make a brilliant one-handed stop to claw out the free-kick by Baines. What a stop that is.
    • 18' 27 - since Aug 2010, Leighton Baines has had a hand in 27 Premier League goals - 12 goals & 15 assists - 10 more than any other defender.
    • 17' Carter smashes the ball at goal from distance with his left peg. Straight down the middle as Howard dives to collect the loose ball.
    • 16' Jermaine McGlashan and Baines collide out wide. The referee awards the home side a free-kick. Decent delivery by Jones from the free-kick, but Everton clear the danger.
    • 15' Fellaini nods the ball into the path of Jelavic, but this time he can only fire the loose ball wide of the target from 18 yards. Dangerous moments for the home side.
    • 14' Was some lovely work by Oviedo to play his role in that opening goal for Everton, who continue to search for a second goal.
    • 13' Penn needing a spot of treatment after mistiming a tackle on Anichebe. Nothing much in that.
    • 12' The lower league side unfortunate to be behind, but Everton ahead with their first real attack of the match.
    • 11' GOAL! Jelavic tucks the ball into the net after Fellaini's shot comes back off a post. 1-0 to the visitors. Everton lead.
    • 10' Jelavic sets up Oviedo with a cushioned ball into his path, but the shot is straight into the arms of Brown in the home goal.
    • 9' Jagielka comes across to win the ball from Goulding. Super piece of covering. Penn showing some true class in midfield.
    • 8' Cheltenham certainly not reluctant to fly into the tackles out there. Tight pitch, but the home side finding enough space at the moment.
    • 7' Kaid Mohamed thumps an effort at goal from distance, but the ball always rising over the bar. Goalkick to Everton.
    • 6' Carter turns on the edge of the Everton box, but can only knock the shot wide of goal. Fine sweeping move by Cheltenham, but the finish not there. Howard was scrambling.
    • 5' Odds if you are after a flutter on this match tonight: Cheltenham 9/1, Everton 4/11, Draw 17/4.
    • 4' Marouane Fellaini with his first attempt at goal of the night, but the ball flies wide from distance. Worth a hit.
    • 3' Cracking atmosphere on a mild night for football. Jermaine McGlashan handles the ball as he tries to bound away from Distin. Cheltenham well up for this.
    • 2' Distin having to look lively early on to wallop the ball away from Penn. The home side trying to move forward at pace.
    • 1' Cheltenham get the match off and running.
    • 19.42 Everton with two changes then from the win at Newcastle as Coleman and Oviedo replace Heitinga and Naismith. 6,891 watching this match tonight.
    • 19.40 Cheltenham have not enjoyed the calmest of build-ups ahead of this match with their training ground being burgled. Read about it here.... FA Cup - Cheltenham burgled ahead of Everton clash
    • 19.35 Cheltenham have progressed just once in their last eight draws against teams from higher divisions; and never against a top flight side (from three ties). Only once since 1912 have Everton been eliminated by a team from the fourth tier or below. It was by Shrewsbury in 2003 at this stage of the competition.
    • 19.30 This will be the first ever competitive meeting between Cheltenham and Everton. Everton have won three and lost none of their last five FA Cup games on the road.
    • 19.25 David Moyes: "I totally understand what you've got to do to get through in the FA Cup. You've got to play well, and you've got to be ready for all sorts of things in the game. I'm wary about what happened at Shrewsbury a few years ago. We went out then. And we got knocked out by Oldham as well. It's happened to us in the past that we've been knocked out, so of course we have to be wary. We have to try to make sure that doesn't happen, but we were trying to do that then as well."
    • 19.20 Mark Yates: "It's a great cup-tie for the town. The Tottenham fixture last year was brilliant because it was away from home and it's a fantastic stadium for the lads to go away and experience and we did alright. This one's at our place with 7000 supporters, if will be a fantastic atmosphere and to see Premier League players at Whaddon Road will be brilliant. I'll make sure my boys are relaxed and will enjoy it and if they do that then they will give a good account of themselves."
    • 19.15 Everton manager David Moyes names a strong side with left-back Leighton Baines starting for the visitors while midfielders Thomas Hitzlsperger and Ross Barkley are both on the bench as Everton seek to avoid an upset. Forward Kevin Mirallas and defender Seamus Coleman (both hamstring) are still sidelined, as are Tony Hibbert (calf) and Darron Gibson (thigh).
    • 19.10 Cheltenham boss Mark Yates had a slight injury concern over Darren Carter, but the former West Brom midfielder makes it after being assessed in the build-up to the televised clash. He was substituted just after half-time in the 1-0 defeat at Oxford on New Year's Day having picked up a facial injury. A number of the Robins squad also sustained knocks against the U's but Yates is not too worried. Former Everton Academy goalkeeper Connor Roberts is on the bench for Cheltenham this evening.
    • 19.05 TEAMS: Cheltenham: Brown, Jombati, Bennett, Elliott, Jones, Pack, Carter, McGlashan, Penn, Mohamed, Goulding..subs: Lowe, Hooman, Deering, Duffy, Roberts, Harrad, Taylor////Everton: Howard, Coleman, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Oviedo, Neville, Osman, Fellaini, Anichebe, Jelavic..subs: Mucha, Duffy, Gueye, Vellios, Barkley, Hitzlsperger, Naismith

  1. There are two teams in Liverpool, Everton and­ Everton's subordinates.

    From Amir, on Tue 8 Jan 11:51

  2. Easy rout of Chetelham Town a breeze, ascent to next­ round and taking a firm step towards conquest of FA­ Cup. Well done! Evertonians, disregarding side babbles,­ tenaciously continue their path to gain title, each­ opponent can be a jeopardy and menace to advancement.­ The prime club of Liverpool and honor of Mercycide,­ EVERTON only demonstrate it's merits in the field.­ Encore BLUES and go on this way!

  6. Wolf, you're a f*cking cretin. You can't even­ quote Shankly correctly. He said there are two teams in­ Liverpool: Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves, which made­ some sense, unlike your mindless drivel. I think­ you'll find there's currently one team from­ Liverpool in the top five of the Premier League, and it­ ain't f*cking Liverpool. Shame for Cheltenham­ tonight, but at least they were beaten fair and square­ by a four goal margin, and none of them punched in by a­ snivelling Uruguayan cheat.

    From VillanD, on Mon 7 Jan 21:58

  7. This could have been a tricky proposition for Everton­ but they took Cheltenham seriously in what was a truly­ professional performance.....Next up Bolton or­ Sunderland and last season also in the FA Cup against­ Sunderland was another comprehensive performance­ arguably the best we played all (last) season not long­ after Jelavic came down from Scotland he played out of­ his skin that night.....This season the goals are­ spread more evenly throughout the team
