Everton – Manchester United

1. Updates will appear from 12.30 GMT

2. Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for the match between Everton and Manchester United at Goodison Park.

3. Everton are without Marouane Fellaini, who is out for the rest of the season, but they have a strong team out. Bilayaletdinov, Donovan, Arteta and Osman make up an attacking midfield, with Pienaar in support of Saha.

4. United, meanwhile, have Gary Neville will face Phil as he starts. No place for Nemanja Vidic, who is apparently not yet fully fit. Berbatov returns up front alongside Rooney, while Valencia starts on the right after replacing Nani as a sub on Wednesday.

5. Everton will be hoping United are tired from their exploits midweek, but they may struggle to contain United given the lack of a defensive midfielder in the side.

59. 42'

    Replays show the ball hit Brown's hand in the area just before Donovan missed his gilt-edged chance. It would have been a very harsh decision though.

61. 46'

    One minute of added time to be added.

    Everton kick off the second half.

70. 54'

    Bebrbatov does well to float a cross in but it's headed clear.

88. 72'

    Obertan concedes a corner after a throw-in from Phil Neville.

89. 72'

101. 80'

103. 81'

115. 91'

     That was his first ever Premier League goal and it's one to remember.

116. 91'

117. 91'

     Rodwell, incidentally, was booked for taking his shirt off in celebration.

     Fletcher puts the ball into the area but it's cleared by Heitinga.

120. 94'

     It's all over! Everton have now beaten both Chelsea and Manchester United at Goodison Park. Perhaps 3-1 flattered the home side, but they were at least a match for United and this is another very impressive result.
