By Chris Bevan

1446: Everton are still piling on the pressure. Pepe Reina comes out again to collect a long Sylvain Distin throw, but misses. The ball is hacked out... for another Distin throw... this time Glen Johnson heads away.

1443: Pepe Reina gets good distance with his punch from Tony Hibbert's deep cross but Liverpool cannot clear their lines. More of that to come, I reckon. Everton are launching a lot of balls into the danger zone now.

BBC Sport's Jonathan Stevenson, Tweeting from Barcelona: "It's dark and moody in Barcelona, the clouds are gathering above the Camp Nou. Nerves abound - there's no doubting this one's importance."

1440: Liverpool's David Ngog gives away possession cheaply and Steven Pienaar surges forward. The ball is played through to Jo but Pepe Reina is quickly off his line to get there first - and, yes you guessed it, the Brazilian was offside anyway.

1438: Liverpool playing keep-ball in their own half at the start of the second period. You get the feeling it's going to be Everton doing most of the attacking in the next 45 minutes or so.

From Abzy in Gloucester, via text on 81111: "Re 1339. I'll put my money on the fact that Emmanuel Adebayor is offside more often. Ask the stats man if you don't believe me! Hmff!"

A lot of chat from you lot about this one - Jermain Defoe is also getting a lot of mentions - but one thing is for sure, Jo has scored the most goals ruled out for offside today. There could be more to come, too...

1434: Liverpool get the second half started at Goodison Park.

From anon, via text on 81111: "Liverpool haven't got Alonso to pull the strings. But Everton's problems lie with the missing Arteta. Without his magical midfield performances its a relegation battle for the Blues."

1431: While you lot wait for the second half of Everton v Liverpool, I'm waiting for Wolves boss Mick McCarthy to emerge from the home dressing room at Molineux to give his response to his side's latest defeat. No sign of him yet.

1429: If you're wondering why there have been no goal updates from the FA Cup tie between Kettering and Leeds, that's because it's still goalless at Rockingham Road as they approach half-time. Leeds are on top but the Blue Square Premier side are holding their own.

From Chris the Red, via text on 81111: "Jo to get a hat trick. All offside. All disallowed."

1422: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Everton fans give their side a rousing reception as Alan Wiley sounds the whistle for half-time - and despite the scoreline, it is understandable. David Moyes' men dominated possession and territory, but the worry is they failed to turn that superiority into goals. Liverpool almost made them pay with Emiliano Insua's header just before half-time, but work for Rafael Benitez to do because his side have actually been disappointing."

From redboychris on 606: "Why do Liverpool always have to defend when they go in front? Towards the end of last year they did well because they attacked and pressed throughout most of the match."

1419: HALF-TIME Everton 0-1 Liverpool

1418: Leighton Baines does enough to distract Dirk Kuyt as he attempts to meet Fabiano Aurelio's cross.

1417: BBC Sport's Jonathan Stevenson in Barcelona: "It won't surprise anyone that the build-up to El Clasico is well under way on Spanish television, with less than four hours to go until kick-off. They just did a lovely piece asking fans who their most hated rival player of all time is. Considering he's never played against Barca for Real, Cristiano Ronaldo got an awful lot of mentions from the Catalans."

1415: Oh dear. Jo swivels to turn in Joseph Yobo's header from a corner but the Everton striker is about a mile offside. That's the second time he's found the net - both rightly ruled out.

1414: After I just talked about Liverpool's lack of creativity, they respond by almost extending their lead. Glen Johnson crosses from the right and Emiliano Insua rises to power in a header... it takes a fantastic reflex save by Tim Howard to deny him.

1412: About five minutes left until half-time and Everton will probably feel they have done enough to be level. Liverpool have not created much at all, but that deflected Javier Mascherano goal means they are ahead.

1410: It's raining on Merseyside and the turf is very wet already. Great for slick passing but even better for sliding tackles. Steven Gerrard earns the wrath of the home fans for one such challenge on Leighton Baines but it was perfectly fair. Referee Alan Wiley is definitely in for a busy afternoon but has not had to get his cards out yet.

1406: What was I saying about Jo (1339)? After latching on to a clever pass by Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, the Brazilian prods a shot past Pepe Reina and wheels away to celebrate after seeing the ball nestle in the corner of the net. He's not celebrating for long though - the linesman has his flag up for offside.

1405: It's all Everton at the moment but Liverpool are defending in numbers - and effectively.

1403: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Everton have responded with real spirit to going behind and it already looks like the class and creativity of Steven Pienaar will provide their best hope of getting back into this game. Liverpool need to settle it down and get more possession, but Everton are making life difficult for them. Just wonder whether Everton have the goals in them to turn it around."

1401: More pressure by Everton. A Leighton Baines corner is only cleared as far as Steven Pienaar but his lofted shot does not have enough power to trouble Pepe Reina.

1357: Troubled times for Mick McCarthy. Wolves' 1-0 defeat means it's now eight games without a win for his side and they were booed off at the final whistle. Birmingham are the first derby winners of the day - and they go 11th in the table.

1355: Pepe Reina makes his first save of the day, after a bit of a scramble in the Liverpool box. Jo tried his luck - Glen Johnson was on hand to tidy up and clear.

1354: FULL-TIME Wolves 0-1 Birmingham

1352: Wolves are still trying to conjure up an equaliser but the magic is missing - and chances are at a premium. We're into injury time at Molineux - and only a couple of minutes of that to go.

ni911 on Twitter: "Masch meant that obviously, was well placed onto Yobos foot!"

1350: A great chance for Everton to equalise. A throw-in is flicked on, twice, and it falls for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov - who is completely unmarked - at the back post. He's got time to take a touch but instead rushes his shot and drags it horribly wide. That was a sitter. Do I need to tell you he responded by burying his head in his hands?

1347: As it happens, Kettering against Leeds has just kicked off. I'll keep you updated on how that one pans out.

1346: Guess who's back? Love him or hate him, here's FA Cup Danny: "Just a couple of hours until the all-important FA Cup third round draw. There's a classic-looking FA Cup tie ahead of that - Kettering host rampant League One leaders Leeds at Rockingham Road. Did anyone just say Cupset?"

Liverpool goal: Luck is definitely on Liverpool's side here - Javier Mascherano has a speculative shot from about 30 yards out... Joseph Yobo sticks out a leg to try to block it but instead sends the ball spinning past Tim Howard and into the corner of the net.

1343: GOALFLASH Everton 0-1 Liverpool (Mascherano)

1343: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Rafael Benitez is urging calm from Liverpool alongside David Moyes in the technical area - easier said than done in the midst of a predictably frenetic atmosphere. And Jamie Carragher already furious with his colleagues further forward for conceding possession too easily."

1342: Wolves are running out of time to find an equaliser against Birmingham - they still trail 1-0 with less than 10 minutes left. Just a thought - as Jo is a man clearly in need of a surname... how about Jo Offside?

1340: Clever stuff by Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, who almost plays in Steven Pienaar with a slide-rule pass. Everton retain possession, however, and the ball eventually comes back to the Russian inside the box. He can't control it, however, and it skids out for a goal-kick.

1339: We're still bogged down in midfield at Goodison Park - the crowd are still excited though. A quick question for you: Does any striker get caught offside as often as Jo?

1338: They have hardly deserved it, but Wolves are almost level. Matt Jarvis latches on to Joe Hart's poor punch from a corner and slams a shot goalwards, but the keeper recovers well with a strong left hand to push it wide.

1336: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "For Rafael Benitez, this is the first opportunity to deliver proof that he is right to make the bold claim that he is "100% confident" Liverpool will finish in the top four this season."

1335: A frenetic start on Merseyside. Referee Alan Wiley has been busy but neither goal has been remotely threatened yet.

1334: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "The announcement of Jo's name in the Everton team (especially when it was not followed by either Yakubu or Louis Saha) was greeted with audible bemusement at Goodison Park. David Moyes has has problems in attack, however, with Saha struggling with injury and the manager admitting Yakubu is on a long road back to full fitness after a serious Achilles tendon injury. Turning logic on its head, what a chance for Jo to make a name for himself among sceptical Everton fans."

1333: Oooh. That was close. Birmingham mount a counter-attack - and come within inches of making it 2-0. Cameron Jerome bursts forward and plays in James McFadden, the forward taking a touch and then firing across goal only for Stephen Ward to get a vital touch on the ball to deflect it wide.

1332: With stadium plans falling through (Blue), defeats to Hull (Blue) and Champions League exits (Red), it's not been a good week for either Merseyside team but it could get a little bit better for one of them in the next couple of hours. Everton have just got us started, too.

1329: Good news folks. El D-Day part deux, Everton v Liverpool, is just a couple of minutes away.

From anon via text on 81111: "(See 1319) The team selection is not mad. Neither Riera nor Benayoun are fully match fit. Looking forward to seeing Ngog, the lad has shown glimpses of quality."

1326: More huff and puff from Wolves but still not much quality I'm afraid. And if they're going to find an equaliser they will have to do so without Michael Kightly. The substitute has a foot injury and is being substituted. On comes Nenad Milijas.

1324: Sebastian Larsson drills a bouncing ball goalwards from about 30 yards out but his effort is well wide of Marcus Hahnemann's goal. Birmingham have not done much attacking so far this half but then they don't need to, do they?

1322: Not a good sight for Wolves fans - Michael Kightly is down and receiving treatment on the touchline. Not another injury, surely?

1320: Ah, that was Roger Johnson at 1311, not Damien. None of you noticed though, luckily. Is David James playing? (see yesterday)

1319: Wolves need to be patient here - they're well on top in terms of possession but if they throw too many players forward, they're going to be vulnerable on the break. As if to prove my point, Christophe Berra is booked after being caught in possession by Cameron Jerome - he pulled him back.

From anon via text on 81111: "I don't know what is wrong with Benitez, his team selection is mad. Leaving Benayoun and Riera on the bench is crazy and we have two left backs on the field - and we have a striker/winger that can't cross or score."

1313: Henry 'The Fonz' Winkler at Goodison Park - a guest of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright - gives his thoughts on 'soccer': "I usually watch the World Cup. But here I am, in the midst of this great rivalry, I'm very excited. But I'm smart enough not to give you a prediction."

1311: Michael Kightly puts over a decent cross from the right but Roger Johnson leaps highest to clear at the back post. This is much better from Wolves, but Birmingham are still comfortable enough as it stands.

1306: The second half is only, um, seconds old and Wolves have just had their best effort of the match - Kevin Doyle lets fly from 25 yards and sees the ball drift inches wide of Joe Hart's post. Mick McCarthy's half-time team-talk taking effect?

Invincible 49ers on 606: "What is Moyes playing at in the Scally Derby? Saha and Neil on bench with Hibbert and Jo playing. I thought Everton wanted to win this game? With Hibbert at rightback that's a guaranteed penalty/free-kick/goal/sending off all in one."

GordonBaisley on Twitter: "What's stopping Benitez starting Aquilani? it seems like an over cautious re-introduction unless there's something not right."

1305: Wolves get the second half under way at Molineux. Mick McCarthy has made another change - bringing on Stephen Ward for Michael Mancienne.

1303: A bit of commentary chat for you now folks - which only applies if you're reading this in the UK. BBC Radio 5 live will be concentrating on Everton v Liverpool... and the second-half of Wolves v Birmingham will only be available on this website. If you're interested in either, click on the icons you can see on the top right of the page.

1301: If nothing else, we can expect red cards at Goodison Park (kick-off is at 1330 GMT). There have been 17 sending offs in this fixture - more than any other in the Premier League - including eight in the last eight meetings in Toffees territory. The 'Friendly Derby'? Not on the pitch, that's for sure.

1256: TEAM NEWS Everton v Liverpool (from Phil McNulty at Goodison Park)
Louis Saha is on the bench for Everton but still struggling with a calf injury. Jack Rodwell is ruled out by injury but Marouane Fellaini and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov return after suspension. Jo will play on his own up front - the Brazilian will need to show something he has kept very well concealed since his arrival at Goodison Park to trouble Liverpool's defence, even in their current state - it's a surprise that he starts ahead of Yakubu. Fernando Torres is still out for Liverpool, while Rafael Benitez has Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun on the bench.

1254: TEAMS Everton v Liverpool
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Yobo, Distin, Baines, Pienaar, Heitinga, Fellaini, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Jo. Subs: Nash, Saha, Gosling, Yakubu, Neill, Coleman, Baxter.
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Aurelio, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Riera, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos, El Zhar, Skrtel.
Referee: Alan Wiley (Staffordshire)

dazjulemattwill on Twitter: "I THINK ITS TIME FOR MCCARTHY TO GO BEFORE HE DOES ANOTHER SUNDERLAND ON US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sound enough sentiments Darren but can you use lower case next time please - and less exclamation marks too.

1250: Not a happy half for Wolves boss Mick McCarthy, and it ends with Karl Henry walloping a woeful shot about a mile over the bar - greeted by ironic cheers from the home fans... who have not exactly had a lot to smile about. All good for Birmingham so far, though, and they will climb to 11th in the table if this scoreline stays the same.

1248: HALF-TIME Wolves 0-1 Birmingham

1246: Birmingham are ending the half as they began it - on top. Christian Benitez - a busy striker if ever I saw one - has a pop from 25 yards out but he was off-balance and cannot keep the ball down.

1245: I know I promised you great things with the introduction of Michael Kightly by Wolves but, since he came on, Birmingham seem to have taken the sting out of this game. Not long to go until half-time - about two or three minutes.

1242: BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Henry Winkler - 'The Fonz' - is a guest of honour at Goodison Park today for the Merseyside derby. He is playing Captain Hook in panto in Liverpool this Christmas. Will it be 'Happy Days' for David Moyes or Rafael Benitez? I'll get my coat."

From Bryan Blundell, via text on 81111: "As a teacher from Liverpool I can assure rippletheonionbag that I'm not worried if homework isn't done. In fact if Lucas scores a hat trick for Liverpool today I'll never set another piece of homework in my life."

1239: Just before that Lee Bowyer shot, Birmingham had a decent shout for a penalty. Matt Jarvis miscontrolled in his own area (sorry cpray86) and, in trying to retrieve possession, seemed to catch Scott Dann. I've seen them given, but you can probably work out that referee Mark Clattenburg waved play on.

1235: Told you - and Birmingham almost extend their lead. A corner is cleared to Lee Bowyer on the edge of the Wolves box but his deflected shot is superbly tipped over by Marcus Hahnemann.

1234: Wolves are still playing 4-4-2 but with two out-and-out wingers now in Matt Jarvis and Michael Kightly. That should open things up a bit, at both ends.

1232: Tactical change already for Wolves - Michael Kightly is on for Greg Halford - Halford's not happy as he takes his seat in the dug-out. Kightly's a great player but hasn't done much in the Premier League yet this season, mainly down to injury. Time to change that?

1230: More work for Marcus Hahnemann. Cameron Jerome tries his luck this time - but his drilled shot from the edge of the box does not trouble the Wolves keeper.

cpray86 on Twitter: "Nice to be reading good things about Matty Jarvis, he really was fantastic for Gillingham and a star in the making for sure."

1225: Another chance for Birmingham and near-disaster for Wolves midfielder Karl Henry. He rushes back to help his defence but almost diverts Cameron Jerome's cross-shot into his own net. Fortunately for Wolves, the ball goes straight at Marcus Hahnemann.

1223: Birmingham remain dangerous, however, and Marcus Hahnemann has just been forced into another save. Liam Ridgewell pings over a cross from the left and Sebastian Larsson takes a touch before firing in a low drive that the American does well to keep out.

From Chidi Uba in Bury St Edmunds, via text on 81111: "Oh Chris! I was only concentrating on the big games of the day at England and Spain. However, Birmingham is already on the lead and I predict they will win the game."

They're ALL big games today Chidi. What about Kettering v Leeds then? Cupset?

1219: Wolves are being urged forward by their fans. At the same time as being forced backwards by Birmingham. Still, all the possession is with the home side.

From Jai in Barcelona via text on 81111: "Just been offered €800 for my El Clasico ticket! Didn't even consider it! Bit cooler today in Catalonia with the locals slightly nervous about Ronaldo's return?"

1215: Another decent delivery by Matt Jarvis, and Greg Halford is lurking at the back post to meet it. He would have done too, had Liam Ridgewell not nipped in first to clear for Birmingham.

1213: Lee Bowyer has another pot-shot, this time from further out. Marcus Hahnemann, who is making his first league start NOT his debut (ahem), is equal to it - diving low to his right to save comfortably.

1211: Better from Wolves, who have just had their first spell of sustained pressure. They could easily be level too - David Edwards is unmarked as he meets a Matt Jarvis cross from the left, but his header flies well wide. He should have done much better with that.

1208: It's still Birmingham enjoying most of the possession but Wolves have just got into the visitors' area for the first time. Sadly for Kevin Doyle, he is crowded out by at least three Blues defender and the chance is gone.

1205: That was Lee Bowyer's fifth goal of the season and he is Birmingham's top scorer. Wolves keeper Marcus Hahnemann is making his first league start for the club by the way... it's not been a great day for him so far.

Birmingham goal: Erm, I did warn you didn't I? A stunning start sees the Blues take the lead at Molineux... Christian Benitez runs into a dead end in the Wolves area but the ball comes out to Lee Bowyer who curls an audacious shot into the top corner of the net. A magnificent strike.

1202: GOALFLASH Wolves 0-1 Birmingham (Bowyer)

1200: Birmingham have just kicked off. El D-Day is officially up and running.

From Chidi Uba in Bury St Edmunds, via text on 81111: "Today is really special with all the line-up of games we have here in England and Italy as well. We never have a Sunday like this. I predict consolidating Real Madrid win, Arsenal win as they slow down Chelsea and a consoling win for Liverpool as they seek to back Benitez's belief that fourth place is not beyond them this season."

But what's going to happen with Wolves-Birmingham, Chidi? We need to know...

1157: The players are just shaking hands at Molineux. We will be under way very shortly...

1155: Got any doubts that today's action is from the very top drawer? Here's a stat. Of the 10 players to make the final shortlist for the prestigious Ballon d'Or, eight are likely to feature in today's big matches.

Barcelona supply no less than four of 10 finalists, with favourite Lionel Messi joined by team-mates Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. El Clasico rivals Real Madrid have nominees Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka

Three from the Premier League make the list - and two should be in action today with Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard and Chelsea frontman Didier Drogba joining Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

stringontweets on Twitter: "Can anyone explain why Wayne Hennessey has been dropped? I assumed he was ill but he's on the bench..."

1152: Erm, you might want to give your page a manual refresh. I think things might be a bit mixed up otherwise.... there you go - all better now.

1150: Stevo will be at Camp Nou tonight, the lucky thing. If you need to brush up on your El Clasico knowledge, then can I suggest you read his latest missive from Spain.

1147: BBC Sport's Jonathan Stevenson in Barcelona: "Might be of concern to Arsenal that the only poster of a non-Barca player in their club shop features a certain Cesc Fabregas. Coincidence?"

From RippleTheOnionBag on 606: "Hmmm. At least three hours of homework vs THIS lineup. Need I even think about it?"

Nope. Homework isn't important and can wait... your teachers won't disagree.*

*They might.

1143: TEAM NEWS Wolves v Birmingham
Wolves striker Kevin Doyle returns to the starting line-up after being rested for last week's 4-0 mauling at the hands of Chelsea as one of three changes from Mick McCarthy, Michael Mancienne and keeper Marcus Hahnemann also securing recalls. Wayne Hennessey, Andrew Surman and Segundo Castillo miss out. Birmingham are unchanged after extending their unbeaten run to four matches with last weekend's home triumph over Fulham.

1140: Right, not long to go until the action starts. We're in the midlands first - Molineux to be precise. Wolves have gone seven games without a win and have picked up just three points in that spell - the worst current run of form in the top flight. Birmingham will be doing their level best to extend that... they kick-off at 1200 GMT.

1137: It's going to be a long day, but a great day - and I want you with me every step of the way. You know the drill: Tweet me mean to keep me keen on Twitter, text me via 81111, or join the chat on 606. I know you won't let me down.

1134: And there's more too: An intriguing FA Cup second round tie, with Kettering hosting Leeds (My Cupset alert is going off right now) followed by the draw for the third round... (at around 1550 GMT) which is where the big boys come out to play. If that's not enough, Cardiff host Ipswich in the Championship... if you're not excited by that little lot, then you're beyond help.

1133: TEAMS Wolves v Birmingham
Wolverhampton: Hahnemann, Mancienne, Craddock, Berra, Stearman, Halford, Henry, Edwards, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Doyle. Subs: Hennessey, Kightly, Keogh, Ward, Milijas, Maierhofer, Castillo.
Birmingham: Hart, Carr, Roger Johnson, Dann, Ridgewell, Larsson, Ferguson, Bowyer, McFadden, Jerome, Benitez. Subs: Maik Taylor, Fahey, McSheffrey, Queudrue, O'Shea, Carsley, Vignal.
Referee: Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

1132: So, what's happening in the next few hours? Er, just the THREE Premier League derbies - Wolves v Birmingham, Everton v Liverpool and Arsenal v Chelsea... topped off by El Clasico: Barcelona v Real Madrid. I dare you to miss any of it.

1130 GMT: A word of warning folks. If you're after a nice quiet Sunday, I suggest you go elsewhere. This is going to be a bit special.
