Welcome to live coverage of the Merseyside derby from Goodison Park!

Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).

There's the final whistle! A disappointing start for the new regime at Liverpool as they fall to a deserved defeat at Goodison!

Torres hits a volley that is blocked, and Meireles fires wide. a brief flicker of life from Liverpool, but the game is surely up.

Babel tries a long shot... straight at Howard, who palms it clear.

Cahill robs Gerrard and starts a counter-attack. Bilyaletdinov feeds Beckford who goes for goal... OVER!

Four minutes of stoppage time to be played, minimum. Liverpool still on the front foot.

Konchesky crosses from the left looking for Ngog - Distin rises high to head it away.

Torres has been booked - I must confessed I did not see what for.

TORRES!! Chests the ball down on the left and fires a low shot that Howard palms to safety! A good chance by his standards.

Baines with an inswinging corner from the Everton right... cleared and Liverpool come away on the break... Gerrard drags a shot wide.

Magnificently, a disgruntled Liverpool fan flicks a double v-sign just as the camera falls on him. And quickly off again.

Last change for Liverpool - Jovanovic on for Maxi Rodriguez.

Gerrard's diagonal ball provokes some indecision from Howard, who eventually does just enough to touch it behind for a corner. Better from Liverpool.

Meireles tees himself up and fires a low shot... blocked.

Liverpool are offering nothing going forward as we enter the last 10 minutes. Dispiriting stuff for the red half of Merseyside.

Ryan Babel on for Joe Cole.

Big penalty shout for a challenge on Beckford! But referee Webb says no foul! And the replay shows he gets it right.

Cahill looks long for Beckford, who robs Skrtel and puts the ball in the net... but the whistle has already gone for a foul and by the letter of the law that should be a second yellow for the sub. Thankfully, Webb takes a common sense approach.

Yellow card Beckford, who slides through the back of Skrtel.

A limping Mikel Arteta makes way for Jermaine Beckford. Presumably Cahill will shift back to a conventional midfield role.
