    Everton 1-2 Swansea

    Every time Swansea clear the ball, it's coming back to them straight away as they don't have anyone up field to collect the ball.

    Ross Barkley works it well to get a cross in to Romelu Lukaku, whose header has no power and Lukasz Fabanski can gather diving to his left.

    Former Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup is an interested observer in The Emirates media centre ahead of Arsenal's meeting with Chelsea.

    And he is currently watching his former team leading at Everton as the latest incumbent in the job he once occupied, new Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin, looks to start his reign with a vital victory.

    Another Gerard Deulofeu cross, another missed opportunity for Everton. This time it's a high, lofted one to the back most, Leighton Baines jumps to get on the end of it but it's easy for Lukasz Fabianski.

    Swansea fans are now looking at single digits remaining in this game, you're nearly there guys.

    All hands to the pump now for the visitors, 10 men behind the ball.

    Can they hold on for their first back-to-back win since April/May 2015? It would will be dream start for Francesco Guidolin.

    They going to have to keep Gerard Deulofeu quiet in the closing stages though.

    It's just not running for Romelu Lukaku today, the Everton striker has endured one of those frustrating days. Gareth Barry pings a ball into the Belgian's feet, but the big man can't sort his feet out to get a shot away and Swansea clear.

    Christopher Hall: How many quality crosses has Gerard Deulofeu put in today? If only Everton had a bit of quality in front of goal..

    Swansea looking to shore things up, a defensive change for an attacking one. Wayne Routledge is sacrificed for Jordi Amat. 13 minutes left.

    All Everton now, with their masks and gloves on, attempting to break into the Swansea goal. The lock is secure so far though, the home players haven't been able to find the combination.

    For the third time in this second half, Gerard Deulofeu delivers an absolutely gorgeous shaped ball across the six-yard box but once again Romelu Lukaku can't get on the end of it. The Spaniard is almost in tears.

    Ijaz: This should be a vital win for Swans if they can hang on. Montero should come on to give width in the counter attacks.

    Everton 1-2 Swansea

    All those years managing in the slow paced league of Serie A seems to be getting to Francesco Guidolin, who has not experienced the frenetic pace of the Premier League before.

    Everton appealing for a penalty as the ball strikes Neil Taylor on the hand but Anthony Taylor once again lends no assistance to the angry home fans.

    Everton 1-2 Swansea

    Swansea have found that short, sharp passing game today and look really good in possession of the ball. Francesco Guidolin seems to have worked wonders with this side already, they don't look like a team struggling at the wrong end of the table.

    Everton are going to have to work something special to prize them open in the remaining 20 minutes of this game.

    Last change made by Roberto Martinez as Seamus Coleman comes on for Bryan Oviedo.

    Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu single-handedly looking to get his team back into the game, he is trying to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and shake his boys into action. There's a little bit too much endeavour from the Spaniard though, losing the ball inside the Swansea penalty area and the away side clear.

    Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin is back up on his feet, very fidgety. He takes instructions from former Chelsea man Gabriel Ambrosetti sat behind him but turns around to look at him in the manner of 'what are you on about, mate?'

    Everton striker Romelu Lukaku fires an effort wide of goal.

    Everton 1-2 Swansea

    Roberto Martinez's side have conceded 22 goals at home for so far this season.

    How many more will they let in today? They don't look to clever at the back. Does John Stones need taking out of the firing line?

    Nicely done from Swansea, picking the ball up of the left corner, playing it all the way back to the defence, but bringing it forward once again.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson's shot from the edge of the area is easily caught by Tim Howard.

    This has been a cracking match so far, very enjoyable.

    Had Ross Barkley been on-side, that would have been an embarrassing miss. Everton are cranking up the pressure and the crowd are responding. Can they find a leveller?

    Ighomi Kingsley: Martinez is a very good attacking manager,so sad he knows absolutely nothing about defending...

    Rezaa Sait: Stones is a class player. The bad thing is that he knows it and he tries too hard to impress in every game.
