Hello and welcome to live coverage of Everton vs Sunderland.

Osman slides in a great pass for Lukaku, and Pantilimon is out quickly to block the shot as he struggles to get the ball out of his feet. The ball is played back in for Osman, and his shot is fizzed straight at the 'keeper from close range.

Jones wins a free kick from Barry as he shields the ball on the halfway line. Larsson takes, and Howard claims easily.

Baines curls in a cross, Van Aanholt sends it to the back post with an attempted clearance, and Brown heads it behind with Barry lurking. Baines takes another, which is cleared again.

Wickham is back to cover and block Coleman's cross for a corner on the right.

Nothing happens.

Sunderland aren't especially terrible today.

Everton enjoying a sustained period of possession, with Sunderland not keeping hold when they intercept. Osman loops in a cross, and it's over.

This game is not the finest I've seen this year.

This is a start.

Tactics?

Coleman sends a low cross in for Lukaku, which blocked by Coates' arm as he slides in to block. Barkley then follows up and has his own effort blocked.

Coleman sends in a cross from the right and Pantilimon claims. Osman is off the pitch changing his boots.

Defoe tries to slide Graham in down the right, continuing his run into the box, but he's offside.

It's a fair decision, Van Aanholt went down easily.

Chance.

Cattermole heads the corner away at the near post.
