    • 78' Stoke are really going for it judging by the changes they have made.
    • 77' Peter Crouch comes on for Jones. He put in a real shift today.

    • 75' Huth is down in a bit of pain at the moment. The physio is on the pitch.

    • 57' I do not know how that one stayed out.

    • 46' Everton get the second half underway. Have Stoke got an equaliser in them?
    • 47' And there goes the whistle for half time. Everton on top and they will be pleased with their lead here at the Britannia but it could and should have been two for the away side.

    • 45' Baines sends in a hanging free kick but Begovic comes out and claims the ball.
    • 44' Wilkinson tries to burst forward down the right but Baines again stops him in his tracks.

    • 39' Moyes was absolutely furious with that miss on the touchline.
    • 38' Excellent move from Everton as Pienaar picks out Baines on the left who finds Osman in the middle of the box but the midfielder can only send his effort wide of the post when he had all the time in the world. Should have doubled his side's lead.
    • 37' A real shock to the system for Stoke there. What have they got in response? Unlucky from Shawcross as he has been playing well up to that point.
    • 36' Pienaar sends a dangerous delivery in from the left. Shawcross rises to head it clear but he can only divert the ball into the top corner, leaving Begovic with no chance.
    • 35' Howard does well to punch clear Etherington's corner clear. The Stoke winger picks up the ball and sends a dangerous ball in but Howard makes an excellent diving save to punch clear the danger again.
    • 34' Etherington hangs a dangerous ball into the box but Jones is just unable to reach it.
    • 33' Gibson's through ball takes a deflection off Whelan and falls to Jelavic who miskicks. Naismith is there and gets his shot on target but Shawcross is there to make an excellent goal-line clearance.
    • 32' That was the best chance of the game from Stoke there. Everton are struggling a bit now. They have not created anything for a while.
    • 31' Whelan sends in the corner and Walters rises to knock it back to Nzonzi at the far post but he can only head straight at Howard. Should have done better there.
    • 30' Whelan sends in a dangerous free kick that Shawcross seems to get a head to but the referee gives the corner.
    • 29' Distin heads clear Nzonzi's delivery this time around.
    • 28' Adam sends a ball into the box but Distin heads clear. Stoke are trying to get a ball in at every opportunity.
    • 27' Wilkinson pours forward down the right but Baines slides in brilliantly to win the ball. Top defending.
    • 26' Jones again tries to flick on a ball to a team-mate but he gets it wrong and Distin is able to knock it back to Howard.
    • 25' Jones does well to win a long ball and he tries to flick it into the direction of two of his Stoke team-mates but Everton clear it upfield.
    • 24' Stoke's crosses that they are starting to send into the Everton box are giving the opposition defence a lot to think about.
    • 24' Everton break down the other end and Jelavic sends in a ball from the right but Stoke are able to deal with it.
    • 23' Wilkinson sends in a hanging ball into the box from the right. Jones again rises to meet it but again gets poor contact on the header and sends it well wide.
    • 22' Howard does well to punch Etherington's corner clear.
    • 21' Stoke press forward and Walters sends in a hanging ball into the box. Jones rises to meet it but gets little contact on his header. Walters soon sends in another good ball but Jagielka is there to head off for a corner.
    • 20' Coleman sends a cross into the box from the right but Begovic does well to come out and claim.
    • 19' Stoke starting to come into the game a little more then, creating two decent half chances.
    • 18' Wilkinson wins the ball for Stoke and picks out the run of Jones first time but the striker's effort from the edge of the box sails well over the bar. Should have done better.
    • 17' It may not have been too effective so far but Stoke's play has been very direct.
    • 16' Etherington picks up the ball on the edge of the box and with space opening up for him he shoots from distance but his effort sails wide of the post.
    • 15' Stoke on the other hand have struggled to keep the ball for long as their long ball attempts have so far beared little fruition.
    • 14' Everton have been playing very positively in the last five minutes or so. Encouraging stuff for David Moyes.
    • 14' Baines sends in the corner but Jelavic is just unable to meet the delivery. Everton keep the ball alive around the edge of the box but the move soon breaks down and Stoke clear.
    • 13' Lovely play again from Everton as Baines comes forward and picks out Pienaar who soons wins the corner.
    • 12' Jones does very well to get his head onto a free-kick sent in from deep. He knocks it back across goal but Everton do well to head clear.
    • 11' Stoke clear the corner. Poor there from Everton who went for the short option when they had men in the box.
    • 10' Everton really upping their game now. Jelavic tries to pick out the run of Osman but his pass is deflected off for the corner.
    • 9' Everton now playing some lovely football as Baines starts the move from left back and Coleman eventually picks out Jelavic in the middle from the right but Shawcross gets in an important bloock.
    • 8' It has been a stop-start affair up to this point as the ball keeps going out of touch. Frustrating.
    • 7' As you would expect in a game between these two sides there has been a few long balls over the top attempted already.
    • 6' Walters picks up the ball in space on the right and sends a dangerous delivery into the box but nobody is there to meet it. Great ball from the Stoke man.
    • 6' It has been a pretty scrappy start to the game with both teams giving the ball away cheaply.
    • 5' Coleman dispossesses Etherington then tries to play in Jelavic down the right but he gets his pass all wrong.
    • 4' It looks like it came off Jagielka but a goal kick is given.
    • 3' Shawcross rises to meet the resulting free kick but he heads it well over the bar.
    • 3' Etherington beats Coleman with some great skill and the full back ends up bringing his opponent down. He gets a telling off from the referee.
    • 2' Osman tries to pick out Pienaar down the left win with a lovely ball but the South African is just unable to reach it and it goes out for the throw.
    • 1' Stoke push forward early on as Adam tries to whip in a cross from the right but it goes out for the goal kick.
    • 1' Stoke get this first half underway in their traditional red and white strip. Everton are in blue.
    • 15:00 The last time these two sides met Cameron Jerome came off the bench to earn Stoke a 1-1 draw. Peter Crouch's own goal had put Everton in front at the Britannia Stadium before half-time.
    • 14:55 If Stoke avoid defeat today they will equal their Premier League club record of seven matches unbeaten. The Potters were last beaten on November 3 by Norwich.
    • 14:50 David Moyes: "He (Howard) has helped us in so many games and he is a big part of what we do. He is a big voice in the dressing room as well. He has had very few slip-ups and because of that we are really comfortable with Tim."
    • 14:45 Tim Howard will today be playing his 200th successive Premier League game. His record is second to only fellow USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel, who set a record of 310 consecutive games earlier this year.
    • 14:40 Everton, in contrast, have kept just two clean sheets all season and have conceded in their last 11 games - their longest run without a clean sheet since a 12-match streak between October and December 2009.
    • 14:35 Stoke come into this game off the back of a fine run of form at home. They are currently on a 14-match unbeaten run at the Britannia Stadium, while this season they have conceded just two goals at their ground. They also have the best defence in the Premier League, conceding just 12 goals in all and have kept eight clean sheets.
    • 14:30 A big match for both sides today as Stoke look to continue their rise up the table, while Everton will be hoping to strengthen their position in top four. A win for the home side will see them become level on points with today's opponents.
    • 14:25 Stoke make two changes from the side that drew with Aston Villa last weekend. Andy Wilkinson comes in for the suspended Ryan Shotton at right back, while Charlie Adam returns from suspension to replace Dean Whitehead in midfield. Everton, meanwhile, make one change from the side that beat Tottenham on Sunday, with Steven Naismith coming in for the injured Kevin Mirallas on the right wing.
