Welcome to live coverage of the Premier League match between Reading and Everton at the Madejski Stadium.

Jagielka with a solid header in defence for Evrton with Le Fondre lurking.

The Latvian slid in with the wrong foot - his right - and took the left leg of Naismith.

Everton denied a penalty. Kaspars Gorkss, the chief culprit for the goal along with Gunter, goes sliding in recklessly on Naismith just inside the box as Everton attack it on the right following a backheel from Jelavic. The linesman was right there.

Coleman back for Howard, who again is well out of his goal - on the right wing! He boots clear just in time.

Jobi McAnuff with an unnecessary foul on Baines, betraying his frustration.

Everton, wearing all black, looking composed on the ball and using it well.

And uncertain again at the back from the Royals. Federici looking agitated with his defence - he's not a shy keeper.

Hesitant defending by Reading again as Naismith is almost allowed in behind once more following enterprising play from Pienaar.

Steven Pienaar free on the left now, running along the byline and delivering to the near post where Jelavic is just denied by a home defender.

Great chance wasted by Reading! Howard has a rush of blood and Le Fondre takes it past him outside the box. He looks to lift the ball over a backtracking defender, but puts it wide of the near post.

GOAL EVERTON! 1-0 to them! Absolute horrorshow from the Reading defence. Jelavic is twice allowed to challenge for a ball he shouldn't and Chris Gunter smashes the ball sky-high when it should have gone miles away from the goal. Marouane Fellaini fails to control but Steven Naismith arrives to score from a yard out!

Leon Osman turns in from the right and fires in a shot from 25 yards, saved and held by Federici.

Johnny Heitinga concedes a free-kick on Le Fondre near halfway on the right. The ball is delivered by Shorey, but headed away.

Everton with the ball on the left, earning a throw near the corner flag. They use it to go all the way back to Tim Howard.

Fast start to this game, which promises to be an exciting one. What's your allegiance? And what do you make of your line-up?

Reading now with a corner. Shorey delivers it and Adam Le Fondre gets a head on it, but the ball runs out for a goal-kick.

When the ball is delivered by Seamus Coleman, Nikica Jelavic is all alone at the far side - and volleys into the ground and over! Should have scored.

Great chance for Phil Jagielka from the second ball at the corner, forcing a point-blank save from Adam Federici!

Nicky Shorey has to leap to flick a long pass out for a corner as Everton threaten early on.

Off we go, with Reading kicking from left to right in the first half.

Reading can jump out of the bottom three if they win today and Aston Villa lose at Man City. Everton are looking to close on Chelsea in third.
