A decent opening for Derby, who are showing why they are on a good run in the Championship. Sam Winnall exchanges passes with Andreas Weimann, has a pocket of space on the edge of the area and drags a shot wide!

Everton will be very pleased with the first half hour. They have demonstrated the defensive organisation Sam Allardyce has introduced while Yannick Bolasie is giving them the width and threat they did not have in the recent Premier League draw at Anfield.

Anfield is relatively quiet.

Sadio Mane scored a belter with his left foot at Turf Moor and he tries one again - 20 yards+ but it's always over the top.

Nobody in a white shirt appealed after that Alex Pearce half chance. I'd like to see that again...

What a chance for Alex Pearce. But Chris Smalling isn't even looking at the ball when he's battling with him - I think it's a foul - he's just looking to put Alex Pearce off.

Quick apology from Ander Herrera to referee Kevin Friend just then.

Herrera chipped the ball back to the Derby area after Juan Mata had been fouled but the pass hit Friend on the way.

No harm done. Apology accepted.

And now Derby go close as Johnny Russell's cross is headed on goal by Marcus Olsson but Sergio Romero turns it over the top. From the corner Alex Pearce heads wide!

Decent tie this - Everton lump it downfield, Joel Matip makes a mess of it and Yannick Bolasie eventually delivers a good cross which is well cleared.

Threats at either end...

United free-kick on the edge of the area, two or three men around the ball but it's Juan Mata to take - save!

Over the wall, into the corner but a big hand turns it away.

James Milner is clever there, he just tries to tease it across goal, he puts it into an area and Adam Lallana just can't get on the end of it.

Everton have an excursion into the Liverpool penalty area but it eventually comes to nothing before James Milner arrives at the back post at the other end and side-foots a volley narrowly wide. That had Jordan Pickford concerned...

The way United are moving the ball is impressive - one and two touch.

That chance was brilliantly worked by Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Once Marcus Rashford comes inside I think he should be doing better. He had a clear sight of goal, he should be hitting the target.

Closer! Marcus Rashford drops a shoulder and leaves four Derby defenders in his wake, brilliant piece of play from the England man but from 15 yards out he goes for pure power and blazes a shot over the bar.

It is not quite clicking for Jurgen Klopp. The workload now for the Premier League players is quite incredible. Mind you, you want to win a trophy and have something to show for at the end of your career.

Marcus Rashford hits a dipping shot wide from range as the game continues to tick along at a decent pace.

I think Sam Allardyce will be quite happy at the moment. Everton are proving they can pass the ball, they just need to go forward a bit earlier.

Derby's first break and it comes with Tom Lawrence collecting a misplaced pass and haring up the pitch. He runs at Chris Smalling, has him worried, but when he finds Sam Winnall he's well challenged.

The same two then combine again to no real avail.

Agreed. Yannick Bolasie is a joy to watch from this neutral's point of view. Great to have him back.

Tim Smith: Enjoying watching Bolasie play. Hasn't had much success yet but he's clearly loving being back on the pitch.

This is a much better game to watch than the league game between these sides last month, the first 19 minutes have rattled along.

No shots on target yet, admittedly.
