Good evening and welcome to live coverage of the FA Cup fifth-round tie between Everton and Reading at Goodison Park.

Superb cross from Osman to the back post, but Coleman heads down and over the bar. That should have been the opening goal for the home side. Great chance gone.

Khizanishvili whacks the ball away after it breaks to him from Osman. Everton dominating possession.

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov throws over the corner, but an easy take for McCarthy before Arteta fails to beat the first man with a free-kick moments later.

Great cross from Baines into the area. Looked destined for the head of Rodwwell, but Leigertwood arrives to nod over the bar.

Free-kick chance for Everton from out wide on their own left flank. Arteta and Baines standing over this one.

Saha and Arteta keeping the ball before Khizanishvili breaks up the play. Everton go into this one on three defeats from 21 games.

Hunt tries to pick out Kebe. Appeals for obstruction against Baines, but the referee waves play on. On we go.

Howard out to hammer the ball off Long for a throw-in before Neviile takes the throw-in. Everton on the ball.

Distin just making sure Hunt can't win any possession. He clears up the park. Reading getting plenty of bodies back as Mills clears the ball away from Saha.

Rodwell tackles Kebe. Great tackle by the Everton man. Osman picks up in the middle of the park. A bigger crowd in for this one than in the last round against Chelsea.

Mikele Leigertwood fouls Mikel Arteta. Early free-kick to Everton, but Reading regain the ball. Fine cross by Kebe, flicked on by Long, but easy stop for Howard.

We are off and running in this one. Everton in blue, Reading in black.

Jermaine Beckford has been caught up behind a traffic accident. He has yet to arrive at the ground, but has been named among the substitutes. Looking like a nice night for a game of football as the teams trot out.

Reading manager Brian McDermott is vowing to attack this evening. "It's a great game, it's exactly what we want. We are trying to get into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the second year in a row and are playing against a team steeped in history with a great manager and good players. We are looking forward to having a real go and trying to get through. But we'll only enjoy it if we win and get through. Getting results is the only way to enjoy a game."

Jack Rodwell and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov replaces the injured Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill for Everton with Saha given the nod up front. Zurab Khizanishvili and Brynjar Gunnarsson replaced the injured Ivar Ingimarsson and Shaun Cummings for the visiting side.

The referee is Andre Marriner from the West Midlands.

Everton manager David Moyes is not certain whether the win on penalties in the previous round over Chelsea will mark a turning point in their season. "I don't think we have had our feet off the ground for a long time. We have done nothing this year to jump up and down about and say we are doing well. We have done nothing this year to jump up and down about and say we are doing well."
