1546: Steven Pienaar comes in hard on Bacary Sagna as the Arsenal defender runs on to a Manuel Aluminia throw-out. He'll go off for a bit more treatment...
1544: Armand Traore gives the ball away in midfield and Everton can drive forward. Landon Donovan sweeps the play out to the left but Leighton Baines' cross doesn't beat the first man.
1542: Phil Neville's clipped cross-shot lands on the roof of the net. Decent move by Everton. Very even now this game.
1538: Phil Neville swings over a deep cross from the right - and Manuel Almunia comes but gets nowhere near. Tim Cahill heads it back across goal, but there's no one there to apply the finishing touch and Thomas Vermaelen can clear.
1537: Eduardo wriggles through a couple of tackles and then runs into Marouane Fellaini's challenge on the edge of the box. Big shout for a free-kick from the home fans - but Peter Walton says no. Probably the correct decision too.
Football League Macca: "Coventry get in among the goals as Freddy Eastwood nods in his sixth league goal of the season from close range to put them 1-0 up at home to Barnsley. Goals 1 Big Freeze 0... And now a second. Two goals in less than three minutes for red-hot Coventry as Sammy Clingan doubles their lead at home to previously in-form Barnsley."

1529: GOALFLASH Arsenal 1-1 Everton (Denilson)
1525: Problems here. William Gallas pulls up suddenly as he's running back towards his own goal. Looks like a back problem - which would make sense, because someone earlier texted in to say the defender had pulled up in the warm-up. The Arsenal defender is back on now though.
1523: Arsenal coming to life now. Some rash play from Landon Donovan gives possession back to Arsenal and eventually William Gallas lifts the ball over Tim Howard but Leighton Baines hooks it clear.
Football League Macca: "It's a goalfest in the Football League - unless you're at Coventry - as Gary Hooper pops one in for Scunthorpe at Derby after good work from Martyn Woolford."
1520: Leon Osman scored a ninth-minute opener in this fixture last season. Arsenal went on to win 3-1. Just thought I'd mention it. The Gunners haven't really got started yet.
Football League Macca: "Goals at Cardiff and Norwich and both to the hosts. Grant Holt has notched to put Norwich in front at home to Exeter while Mark Hudson has made it 1-0 to Cardiff against Blackpool. Things are warming up already."

1514: GOALFLASH Arsenal 0-1 Everton (Osman)
From tony_mcfadden on Twitter:
"I wonder how long it will be before someone sticks their hands in Fellaini's hair to keep them warm."
1511: Louis Saha - onside this time from a lovely Steven Pienaar ball - shrugs off the challenge, but blazes over from a good position just inside the box.
1509: Louis Saha has the ball in the net for Everton - but he's clearly offside. Vermaelen back on now for Arsenal.
Football League Macca: "We have a goal. Take that Big Freeze. Wycombe's defence is left stuck in the snow and Leeds's Jonathan Howson goes and bangs one in from all of 22-and-a-half yards. Brrrrilliant."
1506: A delay already as Thomas Vermaelen takes an accidental smack from Louis Saha. He goes for more treatment. Landon Donovan has started on the right for Everton, with Tim Cahill supporting Saha.
1504: That earlier texter has definitely lost his bet. Lots of players without gloves, and so far I've spotted Leighton Baines and Tim Cahill with short-sleeved shirts. Arsene Wenger's got his puffa jacket on now. Phew.

Football League Macca: "The Big Freeze may have got the better of most of the games this weekend, but there's a potential cracker at Cardiff today, where the
financially-troubled Bluebirds
meet Blackpool. Last time out Cardiff
threw away a 4-0 lead against Peterborough.
A 3-0 Blackpool win will see them jump above Cardiff and into fourth place."
1500: Here come the players then. Arsene Wenger hasn't even got a coat on! Madness!
1457: Hey, people who live in hot countries, I appreciate you texting in and all - but if you could stop crowing about the scorching temperatures, I'd appreciate it.
1455: Never mind the players, I've just seen a fan at the Emirates without gloves on. Foolhardy.
1452: The Emirates Stadium is very sparsely populated at the moment - although I'm sure many fans will be staying in the warmth and downing Bovril for as long as possible.
1448: Arsenal will go second with victory over Everton at least until Manchester United meet Birmingham later. The Gunners have won 12 and drawn one of their last 13 league encounters with the Toffees at home.
Everton's on-loan forward Landon Donovan: "There'll be an adjustment period - but I think I'll be fine. The excitement's been building and now I just want to get on the pitch and play."
From Neil, Manchester, via text: "Re text at 1430: I'd be surprised if Leon Osman is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, let alone gloves."
1436: Jermaine Beckford does start for League One leaders Leeds against Wycombe.

1421: A serious moment: Togo have
pulled out of the Africa Cup of Nations after their team bus came under fire yesterday,
with the death toll reportedly rising to three today. As it stands, the tournament is still going ahead.
1417: And of course, Leeds v Wycombe is on in League One. Wonder if Jermaine Beckford will play? And if he does, what sort of reception will he get?
1414: And if you haven't already heard,
both tomorrow's Prem games are off.
I am, officially, fed up of Frozen Britain.
1411: There are actually more games taking place in the Championship today, as Cardiff, Coventry and Derby survive the big freeze. Only Norwich v Exeter and Leeds v Wycombe go ahead in League One. And that's your lot in the English leagues.
1408: NOT REALLY! Here I am - although I am a bit worried that if I don't watch a football match soon, I might forget the rules. Thankfully, Arsenal v Everton (1500 GMT) looks to have beaten the weather, as has Birmingham v Man Utd (1730 GMT). After the week I've had though, I'm counting no chickens.
1400: We regret to inform you that Caroline Cheese has been postponed for safety reasons.
