BBC Sport at Goodison Park
The home fans are starting to get irate at how long Bernd Leno is taking at goal kicks.
Won't be long before referee Graham Scott comes over to have a word.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Michael Brown
Former Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio Sports Extra
On Harrison shooting just wide...
That started with a ball in behind to Nathan Patterson, he brought it down with a wonderful technique.
Jack Harrison pulling it on to his left foot and it is a wonderful effort, he deserves more there.
Matt Crooks (53 mins)
Middlesbrough will be in the EFL Cup semi-finals...
It's game over now as Matt Crooks collects the ball on the edge of the box, holds off Vale defender Jason Lowe and side-foots the ball into the bottom right corner.
The visiting fans behind the goal are bouncing.
Port Vale 0-2 Middlesbrough
Port Vale manager Andy Crosby has seen enough and takes off Kofi Balmer with defender Alex Iacovitti coming on.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Harry Wilson opts for power with a strike for Fulham but there's not much accuracy and he sends it over the top.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
So close to an equaliser. Nathan Patterson sets up Jack Harrison and he cuts inside and fires at goal but it is just a yard wide.
Port Vale 0-2 Middlesbrough
Kofi Balmer gives the ball straight to Middlesbrough substitute Isiah Jones and the Crystal Palace loannee then takes out Jones with a late sliding tackle with the forward looking to race past him.
Not the best start to the second half for Vale.
HT: Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Chelsea showing glimpses of what they can do but it has not quite clicked for them, Newcastle have been very regimental and structured.
Callum Wilson has buried their only chance.
You do not give Wilson chances like that, it is terrible defending and Mauricio Pochetino must be thinking 'what do I have to do?'.
If you take that chance out it has been a pretty even game.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
A clash of heads between Nathan Patterson and Willian - and the referee has decided Patterson was to blame and books him.
Port Vale 0-2 Middlesbrough
We're back under way in Stoke.
Middlesbrough made a change at the break as Emmanuel Latte Lath, who appeared to injure his hamstring at the end of the first half, is replaced by Isiah Jones.
Port Vale also make a switch with Ryan Loft replacing Funso Ojo.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Newcastle lead at the break.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Brilliant ball over the top by Thiago Silva but Chelsea striker Armando Broja doesn't get enough power on his shot. Straight at the keeper.
Everton 0-1 Fulham
Back under way at Goodison Park.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Levi Colwill caught Emil Krafth on the shin after the Newcastle player had slid in. No VAR tonight. Krafth looks in some pain but he's playing on.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
Since Armando Broja's introduction he has looked very sharp. Some have been questioning Nicolas Jackson, but Broja could be the man to change things.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
The second time today that Newcastle defender Emil Krafth has gone down injured.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Not the best shot from Nicolas Jackson but it takes a deflection on the way through so Chelsea win a corner. Three minutes added on.
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Panicky defending by Newcastle but it works to block Conor Gallagher's shot. Can the Magpies see it through to the break?
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
A good passage of play by Newcastle, when they get in Chelsea's half they look dangerous.
Unfortunately nobody in black and white was crushing in at that front post!

Since both teams won their respective leagues in 2017, Newcastle have been promoted, survived the Bruce era & qualified for the Champions League. Yes Chelsea won the UCL in 2021, but they have long been a cup team & don't look like challenging for the title again soon. Newcastle will win the league before Chelsea do again.
Aaron, Newcastle fan.
