Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Everton’s clash with Aston Villa. We get underway at Goodison Park in 45 minutes.

Full-time. Not a very good game, in truth; Villa never really looked like scoring despite some moments of interest, and Everton were comfortable in their win. Thanks for your company this afternoon.

Lukaku gets his round of applause as he's replaced by Gibson.

Successive corners for Villa but nobody's attacking the ball and the crowd are practically silent.

Hutton has been tireless today but his colleagues have not been impressive.

Eto'o replaces Naismith, amidst much Kenwright-led applause.

Richardson plays a nonsensical ball forward to nobody.

Benteke has been rather anonymous today. Joe Cole has ten minutes to do something.

Cissokho tries to set up Weimann, who plays it back to him, and then proceeds to sky it.

That may well be the closest Villa come to actually scoring this afternoon, but that's some impressively inept attacking as they push forward in numbers but can't direct a shot on target.

GOAL! Seamus Coleman turns in the third as Baines crosses square from the left.

Howard punches clear as Richardson's cross looms towards the far post.

Westwood takes, and Weimann moves ahead of the man who's marking him but can't get his head to it.

And now a free kick up the other end, as Naismith takes down Cissokho.

Lukaku takes but that's straight into the wall.

Clark clips Lukaku on the edge of the box this time, and the free kick is awarded.

That looked rather like a foul from Clark on Naismith there, hauling him back in the box, but nothing given.

Barkley has been lively throughout, but he's got the last 25 minutes off, replaced by Pienaar.
