4 min: Besic very nearly powers past Zouma down the left, and earns a corner. Good news for Everton, but then Besic goes down, having tweaked his hamstring by the looks of it. He looks highly frustrated, punching the turf in a most unhappy manner. He hops off to get some attention.

3 min: Costa nutmegs Stones down the inside-left channel, but the defender turns quickly to block the strikers run and snaffle possession. Money can buy Chelsea diamond rings, but.

2 min: A fair bit of space for Ivanovic down the right. He whips a dangerous low cross into the area. Or it would be dangerous if any of his team-mates had been keeping up. Howard is off his line to gather.

And we're off!
Everton get the ball rolling. Barkley embarks on a power dribble down the middle, straight from kick off, but is quickly smothered by a white blanket. Then Pedro closes in on Galloway with extreme prejudice. Both teams, within the first ten seconds, have shown some high-tempo intent. We could have a good game on our hands here!
[14:52, 9/12/2015] ✌🏿Rutashubanyuma✌🏿: 5 min: From the corner, Lukaku goes up for a high ball with Begovic and gives the keeper a good old clatter. A calling card, in the old language.
