1451: Caused a bit of controversy in BBC Sport towers, that rendition of Abide With Me. It was a bit modern and over-twiddly - but reached a rousing crescendo.

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "It's the Everton fans making all the noise here as we approach kick-off - the Chelsea fans are being drowned out at the moment, and there seems to be far less of them here too. The Merseysiders have managed to commandeer the entire middle tier at Wembley. Blue and white flags are all around me but, in case you were wondering about the clash of colours, Chelsea will be in yellow today."

1448: The London Community Gospel Choir will lead the singing of Abide With Me.

From Hanna, 15, via text on 81111: "Guus Hiddink is like the grandfather every wants. I don't know how all these reporters restrain from bear hugging him."

1446: Bill Kenwright has just been interviewed on the pitch. Gushing, I think is the word. He breaks off from his chat to give the Everton fans the double thumbs-up. Love that man.

1442: Terry awoke this morning to some rather unsettling headlines. In his autobiography, Claude Makelele accuses the England captain of having a hand in Jose Mourinho's departure - claims Terry has strongly denied. For his part, Guus Hiddink says for games like these "you do like a horse" - ie you put the blinkers on.

1438: It pains me to say it, but we will say goodbye to Guus Hiddink after this game as he returns to managing Russia full-time. Skipper John Terry says he begged the Dutchman to stay. "We've all asked him to stay. I realised I was wasting my breath after about the 20th time of asking."

1435: Hmmm... the Lions' tour of South Africa has started with a real bang. And when I say bang, I mean whimper. You can follow that with Benjamin Dirs.

Everton boss David Moyes on picking Louis Saha: "I think it's the right team selection to start the game. Whether it's the one that ends the game, we'll have to see. Hopefully it will be positive."

1430: TEAMS Chelsea v Everton
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda. Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Di Santo, Ballack, Kalou, Belletti, Mancienne.
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Yobo, Lescott, Baines, Osman, Neville, Pienaar, Cahill, Fellaini, Saha. Subs: Nash, Castillo, Vaughan, Jacobsen, Rodwell, Gosling, Baxter.

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Wembley: "Chelsea and Everton are out for the warm-ups - and Everton head straight for the shady side of a scorching Wembley to go through their routines. Louis Saha would have been David Moyes' big selection dilemma and he has decided to try to get at least an hour out of the gifted but fragile striker in the hope he can trouble John Terry and Alex."

1425: It's 35.8C on the pitch at Wembley. Take that, Celsius fans. Meanwhile, more stats: it is 16 years since both teams scored in an FA Cup final at Wembley. And here's my favourite: it is the first "all-blue" final since... last year.

1423: Let the stat-attack begin (look away Everton fans)... The Toffees have not beaten Chelsea for 22 games, stretching back to November 2000. Both their meetings in the Premier League were stalemates. Their most recent meeting in the FA Cup was in 2006 when Chelsea won 4-1 in a replay.

1419: David Moyes, who had an awful FA Cup record before this season, says he's watched the last few FA Cup finals on his traditional post-season break in Magaluf. Magaluf? Moyes? What next? Fergie larging it in Ibiza?

1415: Just 45 minutes until kick-off. Time for some more Bill Kenwright: "Tim Cahill is the prince of footballers, he is the new Alan Ball. He has the true spirit of Everton, the one who epitomises the never-say-die attitude of the whole squad."

1410: Of course, it's cup final day in Scotland today. I'm tipping Rangers...

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Wembley: "Plenty of Everton FA Cup winners from the 1995 side here at Wembley to lend their support to David Moyes' side - including defender Matt Jackson, Barry Horne and the popular former Nigeria striker Daniel Amokachi. Moyes has just received a very loud personal pep talk from one fan risking life and limb to lean over the tunnel and speak to the Everton boss."

Graham Taylor on BBC 5 Live: "I don't think Guus Hiddink rates Michael Ballack. I think he's concerned about his legs, so that selection hasn't surprised me."

1402: Everton will wear blue today, while Chelsea will go for that lurid yellow number. The referee is Rotherham's Howard Webb, who has brandished 133 yellow cards and five red this season.

From Adam via text on 81111: "Who's the referee today? Hope there's no disallowed penalties - and who gets to wear blue? Come on live text, keep me awake in work :)"

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "Defeat for Chelsea here will mean a second successive season without a trophy - Underdogs Everton haven't won anything since 1995 of course. Still, their fans are confident - one huge flag I saw tied to a fence along Wembley Way read: 'Roman lad, sorry but you'll have to shop at Harrods for your silverware this year.'"

1357: Some breaking team news: Michael Ballack misses out for Chelsea and is replaced by Jon Mikel Obi. Everton go with Louis Saha up front, Jack Rodwell misses out.

1354: Everton are wearing Gieves and Hawkes suits, described thus: "A slim fitting single breasted two button navy mohair suit, teamed with a pale blue shirt with white collar and cuffs and a club stripe tie in Everton blue and white." I can't find a single bit of info on the Chelsea suit, so I'm assuming they're wearing their standard club one. Disappointing. No song, no suit... do they really want to win this?

From anon via text on 81111: "We are in London and want to watch on a big screen. Can you help?"
Go to the pub?

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "A few Everton players are out on the pitch now, and they are looking very relaxed - Tim Cahill is reading the match programme and waving to the fans, although not at the same time. Despite the incredible heat, there were dozens of Fellaini wig-wearers (sweating bucket-loads) in my very crowded carriage on the tube here, but no sign of the man himself yet, or his hair for that matter..."

1349: Aha, Capital(RED) (see below), here's a word from Danny the Stat on the matter: "Yeah, but 100 degrees just sounds warmer, doesn't it? Fans of other scales of temperature measurement will be pleased to know that 100F is 37.8 Celsius, 310.78 Kelvin, or 559.8 on the Rankine (what?) scale."

From Capital(RED) on 606: "Re 1336: Fahrenheit? You're a disgrace! Why are the BBC using the worst temperature scale which has no basis in anything?"

1341: And just as Bevo predicted (see below), there are the Everton players heading for the dressing room. Marouane Fellaini has his shirt hanging out and his tie very loosely knotted. He reminds me of Danny Kendall in Grange Hill (young readers: google it).

1336: Apparently, it could even top 100F at Wembley today. Phew, what a scorcher. Not a day to be wearing a suit - or a Marouane Fellaini wig.

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "Get that sunshine graphic out Cheesy, it's scorchio at Wembley today. Some Chelsea players are out on the pitch already - probably to see if the surface is any better than it was during their semi-final against Arsenal when they were last here a few weeks ago - and they look a little bit uncomfortable in their suits, it's very hot indeed. Oh and the turf looks miles better to me from my seat by the way. Breaking news: The Everton team bus is just about to arrive at the stadium too."

Chelsea assistant coach Ray Wilkins at Wembley: "This is extremely hot. The sun is beating down. It's imperative when we have the ball, we must use it properly. We'll get out the blocks and stay out of the blocks."

Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet on the FA Cup final: "When you're there with the red carpet in front of you, you don't get that anywhere else. It's a special moment, I tell you."

1328: Disco Stu? That must be a reference to Everton's giant-haired midfielder Marouane Fellaini... I know of an excellent feature about him - complete with a good pun in the headline.
How Fellaini became Everton's mane man

Anon via text on 81111: "I'm here at Wembley and the atmosphere around the place is superb. As a Chelsea fan I'm worried by the threat of Cahill and Disco Stu. But 2-1 Chelsea!"

1323: Neither of the finalists have bothered to record an official FA Cup final song. Appalling (especially when you have two hours of build-up to fill). Is it any wonder that some people think the FA Cup has lost its lustre?

From elokobioncrutches on 606: "I'm currently arranging a complex infrastructure of wires and cables in order to set up the ultimate outdoor home cinema system, mini fridge included!"

1318: You'll forgive me if there is more from Kenwright later. I can't help but love his ridiculous enthusiasm for Everton. Another man I love: Guus Hiddink. And not just because he danced with a woman dressed up as a nun the other week. Here are my favourite Dutchman's thoughts on the FA Cup final: "Many people worldwide have this Saturday afternoon watching the FA Cup final. Real football people love to watch this final, and for us it was a big aim to get there."

From Adam, Cardiff, via text on 81111: "Chelsea fan and somewhat confident, we've put in some strong performances at the end of the reason and I think we'll be too hungry for the win to let Everton beat us. The only way I think we'll lose is penalties."

From SydneyToon on 606: "Hi Caroline, from a Geordie in Sydney, Australia. Our build-up starts in 20 minutes, and kick-off is at midnight! Let's hope there is an early goal for Everton to open things up. Chelsea's Ashley Cole will be hoping to win a joint-record 5th winners medal."

1312: What with the Champions League final, today's showpiece has been a touch overshadowed this week. Thank goodness, then, for Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, a man the Independent describe this morning as "a luvvie in a laddish world". The ebullient Kenwright tells BBC Sport: "I can give you a million and one ways that I'm going to feel, but nothing will equal the moment when the boys walk out. There will be a bursting of pride. There'll be tears, undoubtedly. I just have to see them walk onto the pitch and I've gone."

Sunil, at work in Bedford, via text on 81111: "Afternoon Caroline. Actually looking forward to today's match! Was going through recent finals and Liverpool v West Ham stood out. If it's like that today we are in for a treat!"

1307: Are you at Wembley? Are you watching it at home? Have you moved the telly so you can see it from the garden? Whatever, I need to hear from you. Text 81111 (charges apply) or get involved on 606 (charges do not apply, but be warned, it's a mad world in there).

1300: Hello you. Let's get this out of the way: the FA Cup has lost a bit of its magic, the final is usually a disappointing affair, and Chelsea and Everton have drawn 0-0 twice this season. Let's hear no more about it.
