Everton against Arsenal

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Cahill gives Everton a lifeline!

Superb stop from Fabianski as Saha curls one towards the top corner.

Cool work from Coleman under pressure from Fabregas before Clichy breaks away. He heads for the corner flag and wastes some time.

Now Baines gets a chance to cross and Fabianski holds on well despite Yakubu lunging towards him. Now Sagana hacks away from Baines and Everton have a corner.

Pienaar's effort is poor and sails over the back post.

Now Sagna concedes a free kick and Everton can get it in the box.

Yakubu's run down the left offers a crossing chance and it falls to the feet of Pienaar and his fierce shot from 18 yards is beaten away by Fabianski

A breakdown in communication between Yakubu and Saha inside the area allows Arsenal to scoop up possession.

Distin then nods over from the corner. 12 attempts on goal for each side up to this point.

Beckford's first opportunity as he spins on a long ball and forces Fabianski into a decent save. Corner.

Another aimless Rodwell run comes to an end as Squillaci tackles him.

A wild stab at goal from Rodwell. Moyes tries to lift his players but it looks like this game is all but over.

Everton need something to spark them into life here.

Great run from Coleman as he gets the ball in from the right but Song clears behind for a corner.

Baines looks for Yakubu but Squillaci was there to win the ball.

This disjointed Everton formation seems to suit Arsenal as there is plenty of space to exploit and room to keep the ball.

Looks like Everton have gone 4-3-3 now that Yak and Beckford are on. Arsenal keeping the ball nicely though.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> David Moyes rolls the dice as Yakubu and Beckford come on for Arteta and Neville.

Fabregas' strike is cleared by Jagielka.

Pienaar clips Fabregas and wants his opponent booked. Webb says no.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Arshavin off, Rosicky on.

Fabregas tries to poke the ball through to Nasri before Denilson fires a shot wide.

Coleman has a chance to whip in a ball under no pressure but he overhits it.

Pienaar does very well to get past Clichy and cross and Saha's shot is blocked by Song. There are cries of handball but I think it was chest.

Superb play from Nasri before that. Arsenal should have put the game to bed by now.

Now Chamakh has missed from four yards! Fabregas smashed the ball across, and Chamakh on the stretch, clears the bar. Incredible.

A splendid turn of pace from Nasri who streaks through and flies past Jagielka. Howard came out and smothered his shot.

Song clips Baines but doesn't get a yellow. Webb is being very inconsistent this afternoon.

Now Coleman lunges in with a scissor tackle on Fabregas. Nasty, but no card shown.

Everton's best chance as Coleman slides in Pienaar, he cuts the ball back and Rodwell hits it over from seven yards. A golden opportunity.

Fabulous tackle from Jagielka as Arshavin got into the box and prepared to shoot. Timed to perfection.

Neville feeds Pienaarbut his deep cross is missed by Saha and Arsenal clear.

Now Chamakh is down after a clash of heads with Distin.

Fabregas is back on and running around in sprightly fashion.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Fabregas gets a booking, as he was late on Distin, and now is hobbling off for more treatment. It was a bit like his tackle on Stephen Ward against Wolves.

Now Fabregas goes over on his ankle as he tries to block a Distin clearance and needs treatment.

Baines takes the free kick but hits it right at Fabianski.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Everton try to hit back instantly as Squillaci fouls Saha when he was the last man and gets a yellow card. Probably the right call as Clichy was covering but Webb should have played the advantage as Coleman was in.

A lovely move as Denilson finds Fabregas, he flicks to Chamakh and when the ball is returned to the captain, he volleys past Howard.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Fabregas with a superb goal!

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Change for Arsenal, as Denilson replaces Wilshere, purely tactical we are told, and Everton bring on Rodwell for Heitinga.

<b>HALF TIME</b> Sagna's goal separates the teams but Cahill nearly levelled things up after Fabianski misjudged Arteta's corner. See you in 15 minutes.

Saha meets Arteta's corner at the back post and Fabianski is saved by the post!

The crowd howl ffor a free kick as Song went in on Pienaar. He didn't get anywhere near the ball and Webb got that all wrong.

Jagielka wins the header but Chamakh hoofs clear.

Everton are putting the pressure on as the half comes to an end. Coleman wins a corner.

Fabregas gets a free kick off Arteta.

Chamakh gets by Distin but his pass to Arshavin is sloppy. A good chance for a break is lost.

Sagan is right back in the action at the other end as he tugs back Baines and gives away a free kick.

Nasri forces Howard into a low save and Arshavin picks up the loose ball, he finds Sagna who lashes the ball into the net from eight yards. A great finish. Only his second ever goal for the club.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Song puts Arsenal in front!

Another superb move ends with Chamakh looking suspiciously offside but Distin intervenes anyway,

Song gets a sight of goal and has a pop but his drive was always rising.

Saha rises well to flick on Heitinga's hoof but Cahill is offside.

Webb is being as lenient with Song as he was with Heitinga. The Arsenal man gets another chance to be good.

Cahill slides in on Wilshere from behind then Song bodychecks Arteta. Chunky.

Cracking ball from Nasri to get Fabregas to the byline but Chamakh can't connect with his ball across goal. Neat move.

Jagielka's long ball finds Cahill offside.

Quality control from Pienaar but a poor touch from Coleman hands possession back to Arsenal. A very scrappy period of play.

Now Arteta puts a block on a promising move by lingering on the ball too long.

Saha turns a quick break into a stodgy attack but as Everton rebuild he fires one from distance and puts it a yard wide.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Heitinga bumps Wilshere late and finally gets the card that has been in the post for a long time.

Arshavin's pass for Chamakh is too strong and rolls out of play.

Heitinga should have been booked but Webb hands him one more chance. It was a horrible lunge.

A very soft free kick for Everton after Jagielka bumps into Fabregas.

Heitinga lunges in wildly and after this Arsenal break ends I think he'll get booked.

Cahill's back heel is prevented from getting to Coleman by Clichy.

Superb football from Arsenal as Chamakh and Arshavin tee Wilshere up and Baines does well to block his shot from ten yards out.

Arshavin breaks inside and has another go but his effort is wayward again.

Arshavin busts a shot wide of the post from just outside the box.

Heitinga boots Song to the floor then kicks him twice for good measure.

Coleman cuts inside and dribbles a shot towards Howard.

Cahill and Wilshere come together over a high ball but Arsenal win the free kick. A bit harsh.

Now Everton go close, Coleman streaks down the right and crosses for Cahill but he puts his header from eight yards wide of the post. An unusually poor header from the Aussie.

Superb defending from Distin as Nasri has Arsenal's first chance. He had acres of space on the right but Distin backed off and then blocked his eventual shot.

Its nearly but not quite for Everton so far. Arsenal struggling to get a foothold in the game.

Wilshere gets away with dawdling but Baines can't profit.

Arteta's shot hits the wall. A bit ambitious I think....

Cahill is bobbing around in the area. Arteta over the ball.

Coleman is too quick for Clichy and Everton have a free kick on the right of the area.

Cahill nicks the ball from Wilshere but then fouls Song.

Saha gets up to meet a corner but can't direct his effort on target. He gets a knock for his trouble too.

Nasri looks for Arshavin but screws the ball right to Howard.

Pienaar is late on Sagna but just gets a talking to. Howard Webb does his elaborate "no more" gesture.

<b>KICK OFF</b>

As is customary on this rememberance weekend, we will have a minute's silence.

I can hear the Z-Cars theme tune, which must mean that the teams are emerging from the tunnel at Goodison Park...

The big team news is the absence, ostensibly through injury, of Nicklas Bendtner after his hissy fit in midweek. In his absence Arsenal are almost at full strength, though Johan Djourou stands in for the suspended Laurent Koscielny.

Live comments will appear here from 1345 GMT.

Nicklas Bendtner has been making headlines prior to Sunday's game after becoming involved in <A HREF= http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=841409&sec=england&cc=5739&cc=5739 target=new>a row</A> regarding his first-team chances.
