Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE text commentary from the Premier League clash between Wigan and Everton at the DW Stadium.

McArthur goes into the back of Pienaar and he will see yellow.

Down the other end a long ball feeds the Straq, he finds Fellaini in the six-yard box but a terrible first touch from him sees the danger calm.

Pienaar feeds Donovan on the edge of the box, he tries a one-two again but cleared from the American. Wigan counter, Moses to Gomez but his ball to Di Santo is poor.

Beausejour wins a free-kick off Fellaini, he will take it but Boyce fails to connect.

McArthur initially does well to get away from Fellaini but then plays it behind Beausejour and out, to groans from the half-empty stands.

Jelavic is warming up - I think we'd all like to see him make an entrance. Disappointed a defensive player was brought on for Cahill to be honest.

Al-Habsi gets a touch, kicking clear a backpass.

As expected Wigan trying to play it on the ground in the second half with Everton rather deep.

The second half is underway!

EVERTON SUB: Neville on for Cahill.

Wigan leading possession stats by 53-47%.

... and the whistle goes for half-time, goalless and a few chances but not the most enthralling game in rainy, sleety conditions.

One minute added time being played.

Donovan is fouled just inside the Wigan half and the ref has a word with Gomez, who needs to watch it. Hoisted in by Heitinga but Fellaini commits a foul.

Beausejour with a cross that takes a slight deflection but is easy for Howard.

Stam fouls Pienaar but nothing given; Gomez then shows the studs to Cahill and is booked.

Stracqualursi gives chase and Everton have the ball on the left. A misplaced pass from Gibson almost causes problems but Distin reads the error and sweeps up.

Boyce lets Baines, bad mistake, he cuts is back AND GIBSON ON THE EDGE OF THE BOX but he blasts it over! He should have got that on target but Figueroa made it difficult with a lunging block.

Beausejour's cross is flicked away from Distin even though Howard called for it, and the American is furious as the Frenchman plays it straight to a blue shirt. Everton clear.

Howard is furious as, after he rushes out to clear a deflected ball following a defensive mix-up, Wigan get the throw even though it took a touch off Di Santo.
