Everton 1-2 Manchester United, FA Cup semi-final - as it happened

Full-time: Everton 1-2 Manchester United

A dramatic game at Welmbley decided by one of the final kicks. Anthony Martial - who was excellent throughout - provided the killer finish when he needed it. Brilliant from United's big-money summer signing.

GOAL: Everton 1-2 Manchester United (Martial)

Crazy scenes at Wembley as Anthony Martial gives United the lead with seconds remaining!

The Frenchman, who has been the best outfield player on display today, is played in by Ander Herrera and he finds a calm finish when he most needs one. What a game!

A minimum of three added minutes to be played. There are some tired bodies, and we haven't even reached extra time.

Another switch for United and it's the goalscorer who is making way.

And again! Everton launch a breakaway and Lukaku has so much time to set himself and shoot ... but he takes too long! Fellani gets back in the nick of time to block the Belgian's effort. This has become a brilliant cup tie.

Everton miss two guilt-edge chances in the space of a minute!

First, Deulofeu's effort is well saved by De Gea and his clearance just evades Lukaku. And then Lukaku heads just wide. Amazing finish, this.

GOAL: Everton 1-1 Manchester United (Smalling OG)

The Toffees have the goal their second-half performance deserves! Lukaku feeds the ball out to the right side, where Gerard Deulofeu whips it in and Chris Smalling makes a horrible mess of it.

The England man goes to clear the ball with his right foot when he should have kicked it into the stands with his left. A huge error.

Even if Everton don't find an equaliser, they have been vastly improved in the second-half. The Toffees are pushing United to their limit - and we've still got 15 minutes to play at Wembley.

For all of the criticism he has received in recent weeks, John Stones is in the midst of a really good game. On the latest United attack, he blocks a goal-bound effort from Wayne Rooney, who has been similarly impressive in an unfamiliar role.

Substitution for Everton: Lennon off, Deulofeu on. Roberto Martinez will be desperate for his countryman to do something special in the closing 20 minutes or so.

A huge moment of controversy at Wembley, as Phil Jagielka blocks a goal-bound effort from Fellaini with his wrist. The Belgian appeared certain to score after more good work from Martial.

It's end-to-end stuff at Wembley at the moment, though.

"Everton were met by boos at half time but they have finally responded to breathe new life into their cup campaign. David de Gea was named in the PFA team of the year in the week and has justified that selection with a stunning save to keep out Lukaku's penalty, which sees the Belgian's run without a goal continue. United nowhere near as comfortable as in the first period."

We've reached the hour mark and here is the first change from Louis van Gaal. Fosu-Mensah - who was, perhaps, unlucky with the penalty decision - is being replaced by Antonio Valencia.

It's all Everton now! Aaron Lennon glides clear of Marcos Rojo and drifts the ball towards the back post, where Tom Cleverley looks certain to score. But the former United man can't keep the shot down.

David De Gea saves from Lukaku - a brilliant save from the Spaniard! Lukaku absolutely smoked the penalty towards the bottom corner, but De Gea telegraphed the shot and punched it to safety.

Penalty to Everton

Teenage defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah fouls Ross Barkley in the box and the ref points to the spot. A lifeline for the Toffees.

Lingard spurns a glorious chance to give United a two-goal lead. Rashford and Martial play some lovely one-touch football, before the ball falls to Lingard on his left foot... but his effort flies wide of the post.

United need to put away one of these chances.

The United side today is so distinct from the pedestrian way Louis van Gaal's men were playing earlier in the campaign. With Lingard and Rashford in their ranks, they have some real cutting-edge and penetration - which may not be true if Wayne Rooney were upfront.

Everton, you feel, will need to play another 15-20 yards further up the field in the second half as they chase an equaliser. That, in turn, could create openings for the pace of Rashford and Martial.

We have a really interesting second period in store.

We're back under way at Wembley. There have been no changes at half-time from either manager.

United played with a refreshing amount of freedom in the opening period, with the likes of Rashford, Lingard and Martial all changing their positions at regular intervals. There's certainly a good deal of pace among the Reds' forward line, too.

Roberto Martinez will be speaking to his players now and may even consider a change at the break. If United get the next goal, then the Toffees will face a mountain to climb.

Half-time: Everton 0-1 Manchester United

The Red Devils lead at the break thanks to Marouane Fellaini, who scored against his former club.

Martial and Rashford have been very good for United, while the Toffees and Romelu Lukaku missed two glorious chances of their own.

One minute of added time at Wembley. United are still dominant.

Everton look like a side bereft of confidence and ideas at the moment. Roberto Martinez has a real job on his hands to turn this tie around, as they are currently being overrun by a youthful United team.

The goal came through a brilliant bit of play from Anthony Martial, who went past Everton defenders with ease. The young forward looks so smooth when he dribbles with the ball and he looks up for this cup tie.

GOAL: Everton 0-1 Manchester United (Fellaini)

The Red Devils take the lead through a former Everton player! Marouane Fellaini scores the goal after some eye-catching footwork from Martial down the left side. He lays the ball back and Fellaini scores another important goal in a United shirt.

The Reds lead and deservedly so.

A left-footed effort from the deep-lying Rooney from the edge of the box, but Robles is easily able to get down to his left to save. United are on top still.

We've played half an hour at Wembley and it's been a surprisingly open contest so far. Both teams have spurned some great opportunities, but have failed to take advantage.

"Roy Hodgson will be taking particular note of this performance from Wayne Rooney - given his intension to crowbar the England captain into his team for Euro 2016. Rooney has been given a new lease of life in a roaming midfield role and has been unplayable at times in this opening half an hour. Everton are being overrun by Rashford and Martial, with Lukaku feeding off scraps. Could be a long afternoon for the travelling Evertonians."

Anthony Martial looks a real threat down the left side in the opening quarter of the game. The 20-year-old forward certainly looks to have the beating of Besic on that side.

It's one-way traffic at the moment, with United launching wave after wave of attack. They just need to find a killer finish, which has alluded them so far. Already, Roberto Martinez might want to consider a switch. His side are being run ragged.

Another huge chance comes and goes. Lingard plays Martial in on goal but rather than placing the ball in the far corner, he blazes it over with his left foot. Besic is having a bit of a nightmare at right-back in the opening minutes.

"With so much on the line in this Wembley semi-final, you would have been forgiven for expecting a tight and nervy affair - but that has not been the case in the opening stages of a cracking tie. Both sides should be on the scoresheet; Romelu Lukaku butchering two chances for Everton, while Marcos Rojo and Jesse Lingard have both gone close to the 11-time winners."

United have looked lively going forward in the opening 15 minutes or so. Martial, Rooney, Rashford and Lingard all look good.

For Everton, the tactics are very obvious - they are trying to make something happen through Lukaku on the break. His latest goal-bound effort is easily saved by De Gea once again.

A great chance for United! Rooney drifts the ball over the top of the Everton defence, Lingard looks certain to score, but his effort is straight at the keeper. That was a great chance - and what an encouraging start to this semi-final.

With a rare foray forward, Ross Barkley takes a shot from distance that is easily saved by David De Gea. It's important Everton get Barkley the ball in forward areas, though.

Everton are sitting quite deep in the opening minutes, clearly looking to catch United on the break. Lukaku will fancy his chances after that earlier effort - he bullied Fosu-Mensah in the air to create the opening.

And then up the other end Lukaku rounds De Gea in the United net and seems certain to score. But his shot is blocked by Wayne Rooney of all people. That all stemmed from a big hack up field.

The first moment of real quality is provided by Anthony Martial. The 20-year-old Frenchman goes on a mazy run, beating a number of Everton players, before his goal-bound effort is blocked by Stones.

We're under way at Wembley. Both sides are wearing their traditional colours - what a game we have in store.

The two sets of players are in the tunnel at the moment. There are sure to be some nerves knocking about, especially among some of the younger players. For both sides, their season rests on this result.

Everton are yet to concede a single goal in the FA Cup this season. But with Martial, Rooney and Rashford in the opposition ranks, they are bound to be pushed to the brink this afternoon.

It'll be interesting, too, to see how the Red Devils line-up today, with lots of so-called experts speculating Rooney will once again feature in a midfield role, as he did against Crystal Palace recently.

It is a similar tale for Roberto Martinez, whose reputation once again rests on his success in the FA Cup which has been his salvation before as manager of Wigan Athletic. Defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, and the manner of it, coupled with a campaign which has seen his talented squad badly regress means surely only a showcase final appearance at Wembley in May can prevent an inevitable sacking at the end of the season. Everton fans have been disillusioned with the Spaniard, with protests accompanying their run of seven league matches without a win.

Victory for Manchester City today means Manchester United face an uphill to make it into next season's Champions League meaning the FA Cup represents their last chance of salvation from a troublesome campaign.

United have not won the competition since 2004 but having bypassed a number of Football League sides, victory over West Ham in the quarter-final replay was one of their best performances of the season. Does Louis van Gaal's future rest on today's result? You wouldn't bet against it.

The Everton team has thrown many people, with Bryan Oviedo on the bench. Who Roberto Martinez will play at right-back is anyones guess. Darron Gibson, Phil Jagielka, John Stones and Muhamed Besic are among the options.

Perhaps a complete change of formation could be in the offing too, but that would be radical and a tad desperate from Martinez.

Everton captain Phil Jagielka returns after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury, and he partners John Stones at the centre of the back four. Darron Gibson, formerly of United, starts in midfield. Your guess is as good as mine as to who is playing at right-back.

Manchester United recall Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Tim Fosu Mensah. Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Juan Mata drop out. Marcus Rashford starts up front.

Teams:

Everton: Robles, Baines, Gibson, Stones, Jagielka (c), Lukaku, Lennon, Cleverley, McCarthy, Besic, Barkley.

Manchester United: De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Rooney, Martial, Rashford

Teams are on their way from Wembley, but sources inside Wembley tell me that John Stones has passed a fitness test and will play for Everton. Confirmation of that and the rest of the Everton line-up on the way.

Kick-off at Wembley is over an hour away so while you're enjoying our pre-match build-up, head over to our live blog of the 3pm Premier League fixtures, where Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are all in action.

The teams should be with us at the top of the hour, but how do we expect both sides to line up?

Phil Jagielka, John Stones and Gareth Barry all face late fitness test ahead of the game. Jageilka has a hamstring injury, while Stones and Barry were substituted against Liverpool with stomach cramps and a groin problem. Ramiro Funes Mori begins his three-game ban while Seamus Coleman is definitely out.

Manchester United are without Bastian Schweinsteiger but have no fresh injury concerns. David de Gea and Chris Smalling both picked up knocks against Crystal Palace but are available.

The FA Cup has acted as respite for several clubs over the years, not to mention back-to-back winners Arsenal, and this season is no different. Today's semi-final sees an Everton side in turmoil face an underachieving Manchester United team.

Everton have not won the famous old trophy for 21 years since beating United in 1995 via Paul Rideout's close range header, while Louis van Gaal's side are chasing a record-equalling 19th appearance in the world's oldest cup competition. Teams news and all the updates from Wembley on the way.
