26'
Another Blackpool foul. There meting them out. But Everton break quickly with Coleman but the youngster's cross lacks direction. Goal-kick.
24'
Chance. Yakubu heads down for Cahill but his first-time strike cannons off the Nigerian and goes straight into the relieved arms of Gilks.

Cahill draws a free-kick from scorer Eardley who is duly booked for the cynical hack. The goal aside, he is having a torrid afternoon and appears to be targeted by the visitors.
20'
Campbell does well to hold the ball up well and he flicks the ball on but Neville hacks clear.

Everton in the ascendancy now and they are getting joy down the Blackpool right, where Pienaar and Distin continue to link well. This break culminates in a corner that the Tangerines manage to clear. From the return ball, Neville is adjudged to be offside.

Slight hiatus for an injury as Ian Holloway cuts an animated figure on the touchline.

Breathless opener to this tie.

Immediate riposte from the visiting side. Distin finds Yakubu down the left channel and the Nigerian clips a ball to the near post that Tim Cahill rises to meet and head past a helpless Gilks.
12'
Howard will be disappointed not to have gotten anything on that set-piece - the flight appeared to deceive him.
12'
In terms of urgency, an immediate response from the Toffees. Their intensity has just risen tenfold.

Adam draws a free-kick from Arteta in dangerous looking territory just right of centre. The midfielder leaves it for right-back Eardley, who whips a delightful effort around the wall and into the corner from 25 yards. GOOOOAL!!
8'
Cahill latches onto a long ball over the top but elects not to shoot and come inside - he evades one challenge but there's another Blackpool defender there to avert the danger.

It may be very early to say this but they look purposeful without a goal threat. Adam is their top scorer with three league goals all of which has come from the penalty spot.
5'
Very much the home side's game thus far.
4'
The Tangerines continue to retain the ball well down the right but Adam gets under a clipped ball forward and it skews off. Everton go long for Yakubu and the ball fortuitously comes off the Nigerian to Cahill who absolutely leathers the ball high and wide.
2'
Blackpool play it from the back early on but Adam is caught dithering in the middle by Heitinga - incredibly robust challenge there from the Dutchman to set the tone, perhaps.

Referee Andre Marriner of the West Midlands checks his watch and we're underway in Lancashire.
14:55
The teams are out on the pitch and have exchanged pleasantries - we're moments from kick-off.
14:50
Expect Blackpool to try to find the net early as their visitors have lost all three PL matches this season when they have conceded the opening goal. They last avoided defeat after conceding first when they won 2-1 at home against Fulham on April 25.
14:45
But that could prove a tall order against a club that have won 14, drawn ten and lost five of their 29 PL matches in 2010, picking up 52 points in total – only Chelsea (66), Manchester United (62) and Arsenal (54) have won more PL points this year than David Moyes’ side.
14:40
Having secured a top-flight home victory for the first time since 1971 on Monday night, the Tangerines will be looking for back-to-back top flight victories for the first time in 44 years. They failed to win consecutive matches in their previous top flight seasons in 1970-71. This last occurred when they won 3-1 at Tottenham (October 15, 1966) and 6-0 at home against Newcastle United (October 22, 1966).
