Gianelli Imbula tries his luck with an ambitious 30-yarder but his left-foot effort goes well high. That's about as close as Stoke have come so far.

Gareth Barry comes back onto the pitch and seems to be OK.

Everton midfielder Gareth Barry is involved in an innocuous collision with Mame Biram Diouf and is clutching his arm as he goes off for treatment.

"Great header from Coleman! The pace of the ball carries it in, hitting the back of the net. Everton are simply cruising."

It's not looking good for Stoke. They had a warning earlier from a Tom Cleverley corner but didn't heed it. Cleverley sends in another corner and Seamus Coleman gets to the ball before Erik Pieters heads past keeper Jack Butland.

Stoke are having plenty of the ball in tough conditions at the Britannia but Everton aren't giving the home side much change from their attacks.

Stoke defender Marc Muniesa was off the field to have treatment for a cut under his eye but is back on the pitch now.

Stoke have gone four games without a win in all competitions so a real test of character here.

"We see this so many times - the attacker got to the ball just a split second before the keeper. Butland was making a genuine attempt to get to the ball but there was contact. Butland rushed out but was just too late."

Romelu Lukaku steps up to take the spot-kick and makes no mistake as he calmly slots past Stoke keeper Jack Butland for his 20th goal of the season.

England manager Roy Hodson is in attendance at the game and is sat next to Stoke chairman Peter Coates.

Tom Cleverly whips in an Everton corner and Ramiro Funes Mori gets in a header which is diverted wide by Potters defender Erik Pieters. 

Xherdan Sahqiri shows a good turn of pace on the right wing before sending in a cross which is headed away by the visiting defence. Bright start from Stoke.

Stoke's record signing Gianelli Imbula quickly gets involved and shows a neat touch in midfield before finding a team-mate.

Stoke came out on top in a 4-3 win over Everton when these two met in December. Let's hope there's as many thrills and spills this time around as we get under way at the Britannia Stadium...

Tony Husband
BBC Match of the Day commentator

"Stoke's season is in danger of fizzling out after a wretched spell which has seen Mark Hughes' side go out of both cup competitions and turn in a disappointing display at Manchester United, where they were soundly beaten on Tuesday.

"The likely introduction of record signing Gianelli Imbula will be a welcome boost for a side which hasn't scored in its last three league games.

"Perhaps they'll draw inspiration from December's thrilling win at Goodison when the Potters prevailed 4-3.

"Everton's win over Newcastle on Wednesday was a welcome boost for Roberto Martinez. They hadn't won since Boxing Day, but travel well - they're unbeaten in six on the road and probably still feel aggrieved they've only won one of those."
