Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Everton v Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final.

CHANCE! Brilliant interplay between Lingard and Rashford and only a poor final touch and great tackle from Stones denies United!

Shot from Barkley from distance and it’s fairly easy for De Gea.

Aside from that Lukaku scare, it’s United who look the more threatening early on. Martial almost in on goal but the flag is up for offside. Just!

Good delivery from Rooney and it’s a half chance for Rojo, who heads just wide.

A great start, then, to this semi-final. Martial fouled by Lennon and United win a dangerous free kick.

A simple long ball causes panic in the United defence and Carrick let it bounce, allowing Lukaku in. Everton should be ahead.

CHANCE! Lukaku springs through the middle, goes around De Gea and his shot is headed off the line by Rooney!

Great run from Martial and great fet down the left flank and his shot from a tight angle deflects for a corner. In it comes from Blind and Fellaini’s tame header easily gathered by Joel.

As expected, under the Van Gaal way, United with plenty of passes and early possession. It’s what they can do with it, though...

Fantastic atmosphere here, a ray of sunlight over the goal of Joel. Almost a full house here as Fellaini is fouled.

Blind almost caught napping by Barkley in the five seconds of the game! Not an assured opening touch from such an assured player.

Referee Anthony Taylor blows the whistle to get us underway here at Wembley.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The players are in the tunnel and making their way out onto the pitch.

TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: Here’s a quick reminder of today’s teams.

Man Utd: De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Rooney, Martial, Rashford SUBS: Romero, Darmian, Valencia, Herrera, Mata, Schneiderlin, Memphis

Everton: Joel, Baines, Gibson, Stones, Jagielka (c), Lukaku, Lennon, Cleverley, McCarthy, Besic, Barkley. SUBS: Howard, Hibbert, Oviedo, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Osman, Pennington.

And on the neighbouring bench is Roberto Martinez, who Richard Jolly thinks may be en route to becoming a mere footnote in Everton's history.

And here's Louis van Gaal hoping for a "successful season".
