Cole clears the ball into his own face and out for a throw, which is lobbed into the box and flicked on by Rodwell for BILYALETDINOV! He catches Bosingwa napping and steals in, but cannot make proper contact with his shot.
12'
Rodwell plays a fine cross-field ball to Coleman, who has enjoyed a sensational debut season in the Premier League. He is a real livewire. Almost Bale-esque, albeit on the right side.
11'
Chelsea do look a slicker operation in midfield with Frank Lampard, who is back following a calf injury.
10'
Bilyaletdinov crosses from the Everton left... deep towards Coleman who gets his head on it but nods straight to a black shirt.
9'
Chelsea have got hold of the ball now and are zipping it around at a decent pace. No penetration, however.
8'
John Terry attemps a killer ball into the box for Malouda, but doesn't get it quite right.
6'
Chelsea are playing from left to right in black with orange trim - Everton in blue and white. Everton's left flank and most of the Chelsea half are in shadow, with sun bathing the rest of the pitch.
5'
Malouda dribbles inside before actually running around in a circle. The ball eventually makes its way to Drogba, who fires a tame shot straight at Howard.
4'
A high ball into the Chelsea box causes a modicum of confusion before Cole helps it back to Cech.
3'
A physical Phil Neville challenge on Malouda goes unpunished, much to the annoyance of Carlo Ancelotti who leaps off his seat.
2'
Chelsea have barely had a kick so far... confident opening from Everton, although can you really draw firm conclusions from two minutes of play?

Game on! Early free-kick to Everton, lofted into the box by Heitinga... and away for an Everton throw that eventually gets scuffed away to safety.
12:29
Referee Howard Webb leads the teams out, and pleasingly the ground seems to have filled up nicely in the last five minutes or so. Webb sent Everton's Johnny Heitinga off in the World Cup final.
12:27
The ubiquitous 'Tonight's gonna be a good night" song is irritating enough at the best of times, but come on - it's not even lunchtime.
12:25
There's a stat - nine of Chelsea's starting XI were also in the side against Everton at the 2009 final. No shortage of 30-somethings, who of whom - Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka - may be slightly perturbed at the apparently imminent arrival of Fernando Torres.
12:20
Still a lot of empty seats 10 minutes from kick-off. Don't know if it's fans wanting to keep out of the cold, but Goodison might be less than full for this one. Shame if so...
12:15
David Moyes has just told the TV Everton will look to "keep Chelsea quiet" while lavishing fairly effusive praise on the visitors. Fair enough.
12:10
If you're in the UK, you can watch this video analysing Louis Saha's individual battle against John Terry.
12:05
Phil Jagielka (groin) only makes the bench for Everton, with Johnny Heitinga playing centre-back. Tim Cahill is still at the Asian Cup. Frank Lampard returns for Chelsea following a calf injury, with Carlo Ancelotti's side pretty much at full strength.

11:55
This is a repeat of the 2009 final at Wembley. Louis Saha scored the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal after 25 seconds, but goals from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard won it for Guus Hiddink's men.
