    • Derby County
    • 90' It's all over at Goodison and Everton are back on winning ways. They made and wasted a hatful of chances, but Derby competed well and made it very difficult for them.
    • 86' And you know who is in the book. Savage with a nasty lunge at Arteta.
    • 84' Savage sends a towering free-kick into the Everton box - which Howard is forced to punch away. Corner to Derby.
    • 78' Phil Jagielka has replaced the impressive Fernandes for Everton.
    • 78' Corner for Derby...Everton deal with it comfortably. But Derby are coming back at them. They have nothing to lose.
    • 74' The Yak is sent to pasture by David Moyes - who brings on Victor Anichebe.
    • 73' Ghaly is booked for throwing his arms all over Johnson.
    • 68' What a superb tackle from Darren Moore - who slid in to deny Yakubu five yards out. That surely would have been two. Having said that, the Yak missed an easier one than that earlier on.
    • 64' DERBY SHOULD HAVE EQUALISED! Miller dummied and Villa was clean through on goal. Excellent save by Howard - who blocked with his legs.
    • 59' Everton are just about worth their lead. Derby have battled hard, but failed to create a genuine opening so far. They've got nothing to lose, to here's hoping for a humdinging last half hour.
    • 56' FERNANDES WITH A LOVELY PASS TO FIND OSMAN...WHO CRASHES A LOW SHOT PAST CARROLL!! 1-0 EVERTON!
    • 51' Double chance for Everton...Fernandes' shot is saved by Carroll and Yakuba sends his follow-up effort just wide.
    • 50' Change for Derby - Tyrone Mears comes on for Sterjovski.
    • 47' David Jones with an early shot for Derby. It's rising, but Howard grabs hold in mid-air.
    • 46' Welcome back. It's raining pretty hard now, and we're under way in the second half.
    • 45' Half-time at Goodison, and we remain without a goal. Fairly scrappy stuff to be honest, and lacking quality in the final third. Back in 15!
    • 40' Everton have a corner on their right...Arteta delivers and Carsley heads harmlessly wide from 12 yards.
    • 38' Everton have a free-kick right on the edge of Derby's box - Johnson was pushed by Villa. Arteta lines it up...and balloons his shot over the bar.
    • 36' Lovely touch from Miller to release Hossam Ghaly, but he can't quite fashion a shooting chance.
    • 33' Baines is working hard on Everton's left flank - overlapping at every opportunity and linking well with Arteta - who is EVERYWHERE.
    • 30' That was VERY TIGHT. Lee Carsley hooked a pass through for the Yak and up the flag went...he looked level to me!
    • 26' Neville goes in the book for a crude bodycheck on Savage - whose many fans will no doubt be writing to the Everton captain afterwards.
    • 24' Almost a chance for Miller, but Howard wins the foot race.
    • 20' Both sides are fully committed here. Tackles are flying in, and Andy Todd is the first in the book for a nasty challenge. Everton have a free-kick deep in Derby territory...Carroll gathers comfortably.
    • 16' Manuel Fernandes hits a low shot, which takes a deflection. Roy Carroll saves.
    • 13' TERRIBLE MISS FROM YAKUBU! Leighton Baines' left-wing cross somehow evaded Arteta and his marker at the front post and the Yak had the simpliest of chances...but he blazed over!
    • 12' Derby are shading this at the moment. They're closing Everton down well in midfield and dominating possession
    • 10' Good work from Johnson, who rides a tackle and releases Arteta, but the midfielder ends his run with a weak shot.
    • 8' Kenny Miller wins a free-kick on Derby's left...Robbie Savages swings it over but Everton clear.
    • 6' The Yak is down, but he slowly gets to his feet and play restarts.
    • 5' Derby get their first sight of goal...Mile Sterjovski cuts in from the right and hits a low shot, which Tim Howard gathers at the second attempt.
    • 2' Soooooo close for Everton. Great wing play from Phil Neville on the right, and Yakubu's diving header is just wide.
    • 1' And we're under way on Merseyside - with both sides in their home strips. Everton win an early corner...which Mikel Arteta whips in - they win another.
    • - It might be snowing in Middlesbrough, but Goodison Park is bathed in glorious mid-afternoon sunshine. Andy Johnson returns to the Everton strikeforce - while Derby are unchanged from the side that drew 2-2 with Fulham, thanks to Emannuel Villa's brace.
