90+1' Willock slides in to win the ball late and tries to pull out, but Sidibe goes down and the Arsenal midfielder is booked.
87' Yellow card to Calum Chambers
82' Martinelli cuts in from the left and takes on an ambitious effort from outside the box, but it sails well over the bar.
78' Substitution: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaced by Alexandre Lacazette
75' Yellow card to Gylfi Sigurðsson
73' Aubameyang runs across his man to get a shot away at the near post but it's over the bar.
72' Substitution Fabian Delph replaced by Michael Keane
65' Emile Smith Rowe replaced by Joseph Willock
62' Arsenal have been much improved since half-time.
** Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe both out warming up for Arsenal.
55' Saka's just got to be a bit careful here, having been booked in the first half. This is completely accidental, he's looking at the ball dropping out of the sky, but he catches Calvert-Lewin high.
53' Those two efforts from Aubameyang were the first two shots on target of the game from either side.
51' Chambers flicks a header on from a corner and Aubameyang scuffs the ball at goal first-time, but Pickford tips it over the bar!
49' Nelson takes Arsenal's first corner of the game, but it's well-defended and cleared away at the near post.
46' We're back for the second half!
H-T Everton 0 Arsenal 0
45' Yellow card to Tom Davies
38' Everton work the ball around in their own half for a couple of minutes before trying to advance it down the left, but the ball goes out of play.
36' Saka's sent a dreadful cross into the area, Arsenal having more of the ball but unable to do anything with it.
34' Davies gives the ball away cheaply but it's won back by Digne and Everton sweep forward in attack, with Sidibe switching the ball to Tosun on the left side of the box, but Leno is there to catch as he tries to turn the ball back across goal.
31' Aubameyang seems to be bored and has dropped back to help defend a set piece, runs with the ball out from the back, moves it on and Smith-Rowe plays a dreadful pass to give away possession.
28' Yellow card to Bukayo Saka
24' Everton have been intense and aggressive but Arsenal have offered absolutely nothing.
18' Sigurdsson steps up and strikes cleanly over the wall and towards the top-left corner, but it sails just the wrong side of the post!
14' Martinelli is now down holding his ankle after a challenge from Sidibe and is being treated. He looks to be in real discomfort.
11' Iwobi replaced by Tosun.
7' Iwobi makes a pass and immediately clutches his hamstring. That's not a good sign but he's still jogging around the pitch, clearly in pain.
3' Arsenal are definitely a 4-2-3-1, Everton start with a high press in a flat 4-4-2.
1' We're under way at Goodison Park!!
