Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Baines, Stones, Jagielka, McCarthy, Barry, Lennon, Barkley, Osman, Lukaku
Sunderland XI: Pantilimon, Jones, van Aanholt, Brown, Coates, Cattermole, Gomez, Larsson, Defoe, Wickham, Graham.
James McCarthy is trying to win this game single-handedly for Everton. He collects the ball from Romelu Lukaku, drives into the left side of the Sunderland penalty area but his shot is high and wide. Promising, though.

"If Sunderland were any deeper they would be half way up the Gladwys Street End."
Sunderland's Adam Johnson comes on for Danny Graham while Leighton Baines is replaced by Luke Garbutt.

Sunderland centre-backs are earning their cash today. Sebastian Coates heads clear an Everton cross, then Wes Brown blocks a Seamus Coleman shot.
Another Everton corner. I'll admit I've lost count now. Costel Pantilimon, who has been excellent today, punches clear. Worries for Everton as Leighton Baines looks like he has a problem.
Don't forget Sunderland haven't won away in the Premier League in 2015. Everton are unbeaten at home this year.
This would be a famous victory for Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat. But does he need three strikers on the pitch now?

"Ross Barkley has gone into Gareth Barry's role to see if he can get on the ball and make something happen for Everton. Kevin Mirallas has gone in the hole behind Romelu Lukaku. Sunderland are getting too deep."
Everton really pressing for the equaliser now and in their desperation to hold on, Sunderland's Jordi Gomez and Jermain Defoe go into the book.
Unlucky from Seamus Coleman. The Everton right-back collects the ball on the edge of the penalty area, does some keepy-uppy and lashes a left-shot just wide but it got a deflection. Another home corner that comes to nowt but soon afterwards John Stones misses his kick with a great chance to test Costel Pantilimon.
Cross from the left by Everton's Romelu Lukaku and when it is cleared, it falls to Seamus Coleman but Jordi Gomez makes a telling block. Sunderland sticking with what they have, now?
Everton going for the goal now. Kevin Mirallas on for Gareth Barry.
Jay: Advocaat's head must be spinning sitting on the dizzying heights of 14th place.
Sanj: Sunderland winning, Hull & Leicester with winnable home matches, Newcastle Utd could be in the Bottom 3 tonight!

"It was a counter-attack. Seb Larsson put the ball across, Jordi Gomez had the shot and after the deflection Tim Howard can't reach it. The Sunderland fans go wild,. Danny Graham will be claiming that. He doesn't know anything about it but when you haven't scored in 26 games you'll claim anything."
Image source, Getty ImagesWow, almost another for Sunderland. Patrick van Aanholt bursts down the left, wriggles between two challenges and has time to shoot from close-range but his effort skews off his left boot and into the side netting.
If Sunderland can hang on to win, victory will take them above Hull, Leicester, Newcastle and Aston Villa into 14th.
So is the luck with the Black Cats? The goal has certainly stirred the home fans and Everton are looking for a response.
Amazing. Sunderland counter-attack, the ball breaks to Jordi Gomez, whose shot from the edge of the area takes a massive deflection off Danny Graham. He was almost trying to get out the way and it cannoned off his ankle. What fortune!
