Jack Harrison off and Arnaut Danjuma on in another change for Everton.

Big chance for Chelsea to level. Nicolas Jackson, unmarked in the box, spins and shoots wide from 12 yards. Two of his team-mates have their head in their hands.

Fulham's Kenny Tete, already on a booking, handles the ball but gets lucky. He concedes the free-kick, but no second yellow.

Everton have about 20 minutes to save themselves. Remember, no extra time and straight to penalties if it's level at 90 minutes.

Anthony Gordon's day is done. Matt Ritchie replaces him.

Middlesbrough want four.

Sam Silvera, the Boro hero at the weekend, tries his best Maradona impression, skipping past defenders with a mazy run, but he ultimately drags his shot wide.

Fulham finally have a first shot on target and it comes from ex-Toffee Alex Iwobi, but Jordan Pickford is alert to it, dives to his left and makes a good save, parrying the ball away.

The London side still leading via an own goal.

Maurico Pochettino needs a reaction from his players.

With Malo Gusto coming on it is a positive as he will get forward more naturally than Levi Colwill.

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon is down but Chelsea are playing on anyway. Eventually Moises Caicedo kicks it out - and his team-mates and fans don't seem too happy he did that.

Middlesbrough are in complete control, only a miracle will save Port Vale now.

The pace has completely gone from this game after Ollie Arblaster's injury. Watching the replay, it looked like the Vale midfielder was caught by his own teammate, with Arblaster and another in a white shirt both sliding in to stop Morgan Rogers, but ultimately taking each other out.

Chelsea win a corner as Cole Palmer has a shot deflected wide. Conor Gallagher takes the corner short to Palmer and they don't really get it in the mixer.

Kenny Tete gets himself in the book for Fulham. He said he got the ball, but was late on Dwight McNeil and sees yellow.

Not a clever tackle from Port Vale's Ryan Loft who is late on Dael Fry and gets a yellow.

Port Vale midfielder Ollie Arblaster is carried off on a stretcher to a standing ovation around Vale Park.

The Sheffield United loannee is replaced by Rhys Walters.

This doesn't look good, Arblaster may have just played his last match for Vale. He has his head in his hands. Football is brutal sometimes.

The second half is under way.

Newcastle bring on first-team regulars Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn for Emil Krafth and Sven Botman.

Malo Gusto is on for Levi Colwill in Chelsea's defence.

A change up front for Everton as Dominic Calvert-Lewin goes off and Beto comes on.

Fulham also with a substitution as Tom Cairney replaces Willian.

Port Vale 0-3 Middlesbrough

It's getting even worse for Port Vale now. Ollie Arblaster is down and a stretcher has been called for.

Can Dominic Calvert-Lewin get something on it? It is a big chance and it is just out of his reach. I do feel like Calvert-Lewin could have kept it alive.

Alert goalkeeping from Fulham's Bernd Leno, who gets to the ball just before Dominic Calvert-Lewin can do so.
