"It is a very good Everton team but I feel they are underachieving so far this season."

Diego Costa's arm made contact with Gareth Barry's face - only the striker may know whether that was deliberate or not. It's got the crowd going anyway!

"This is the infuriating side of Diego Costa. He seems to have to wind himself up to be a nuisance. He loves to play on the edge at all times."

DIEGO COSTA FLASHPOINT!

It's never far away. The combustible striker wants a foul, doesn't get one and then seconds later he collides with Gareth Barry in midfield. Barry comes off worse and Costa is booked...

The Chelsea fans are very loud this evening - their numbers are bolstered to around 6,000 thanks to the FA Cup rules - and they start a chant about former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. The Everton fans join in on that one...

Everton seeing plenty of the ball in these opening stages as Chelsea set up to hit on the counter.

James Stevenson: Fancy Everton to give a performance in front of their own fans and win this.

Jay Ali: Martinez is just average. Not convinced by his form in PL. Everton are a v.good team with a not so good manager.

What will history prove to be the worst decision: Chelsea allowing Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku to leave or Manchester United not keeping Gerard Pique and Paul Pogba?

Lukaku out to prove that Chelsea made an error today but it's the visitors who go close, Kenedy swapping passes with Pedro and firing over the top. Well played!

"Everton’s home form here has been nothing short of a disaster and they will want to put that right today."

Leighton Baines and Gareth Barry link up neatly down the left and Tom Cleverley has a shot saved inside 40 seconds. Very bright start.

Chelsea, in white with blue socks, get the game under way.

Don't forget you CAN WATCH the game by pressing the play icon at the top. Indulge yourself. 

Cian: Antonio Conte will come in at Chelsea and I expect a flurry of solid signings, followed by a title charge.

Tremendous volume at a game in Liverpool for the second time in a few days. Who wants this more?

"Roberto Martinez has put himself under pressure. He said that this team have to win a trophy. They are in the bottom half, he is under pressure."

"Everton's new majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, who saw his purchase of a 49.9% stake in the club approved by the Premier League this week, has just been out sitting in the Goodison Park directors' box with chairman Bill Kenwright as he attends his first game since buying into the club.

"Moshiri has hinted a resolution on Everton's ground move issue is high on his agenda - but today it is only the FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea that matters.

"Chelsea have been lifted by Diego Costa declaring himself fit after coming off in the 60th minute of the Champions League loss to Paris St-Germain - but there is no Eden Hazard and John Terry is only on the bench after a hamstring injury."

"Going forwards Everton are as good as anyone in the Premier Laegue but the Achilles heel is defending. They attack continually, they are open and that is the way Roberto Martinez likes to play."

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink: "It is big in the context of this season from Chelsea. We are in a very safe spot in the league which means that the FA Cup is even more important than it always is.

"We have had two days of recovery from the Champions League, no time to mourn and cry. We have to go on. We must be resilient.

"I know Diego Costa well now and he always likes to play. He limped off but he wants to play and we will see how he is.

"It would be a beautiful achievement to win the FA Cup."

As pre-match entertainment goes, it's novel.

Maybe a bit too novel for this young Evertonian.
