Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)

11min: The fans are VERY quiet and they are not catching on to this.

It's not been a bad game though, there has been some good football and we just need a shot or two on goal to wake a few people up.

8min: Fulham have one weapon so far and it's the long ball, Phil Jagielka has to skate across to intercept Moussa Dembele who has a quick pair of heels on him.

5min: Fulham have been pegged back in their own half, as Everton boss the play in midfield. Jack Rodwell looking very sharp on the ball and in the tackle.

2min: Huge cheer for Andy Johnson a his name was read out before the game.

They till love him here at Everton, home side on top at the start.

Kick-off: After a minute's silence for the terrible events in Japan (impeccably observed) Fulham get us underway.

17.27: Teams are out to the usual 'Z Cars' theme. These teams have drawn 27 games between them this season, omen?

17.24: Lovely evening at Goodison Park, doesn't look a sell out but there are some attacking players on display and I hope for a good game.

17.21: So Fulham fans...how do you fancy your chances this afternoon?

Now think again after this stat from InfostradaLive:

Fullham have never won in all 22 league visits to Goodison Park, losing the last 17.

17.19: Everton welcome back captain Phil Neville and influential midfielder Tim Cahill from injury for this evening's Barclays Premier League against Fulham.

Seamus Coleman also comes back into the starting line-up at Goodison Park while John Heitinga and Jermaine Beckford drop to the bench.

The injured Mikel Arteta is the other player missing from the side held by Birmingham last time out.

Fulham are unchanged from their last outing against Blackburn a fortnight ago after Dickson Etuhu overcame a hamstring strain.

17.16: BREAKING NEWS: Gareth Bale has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal with Tottenham, keeping him White Hart Lane until 2015.

I wonder if there might be a heft buy out clause in that...

17.15: After the incredible results in the Premier League early on, both of these sides might just have one eye over their shoulder. If the Premier league has taught us anything this season, it's that a couple of bad results can leave you in deep trouble.
