The team news out of Bern tonight:

Everton - Timmy, Coleman, Stones, Jags, Oviedo, McCarthy, Barry, Mirallas, Barkley, Naismith, Chunk. Subs: Joel, Gibson, Besic, Atsu, Garbutt, Alcaraz, Duffus.
Teams coming out on the pitch now.
The FSC commentator is suggesting that the Toffees are understrength but it seems like the first team to me.
Everton get us underway then....
Everton trying to set the early frantic pace here.
Oh - The Chunk with a great header, turned around the post by the Young Boys keeper.
Napoli have gone one up early doors away to Trabzonspor.
GOAL! Young Boys take the lead through Hoaroa!
Too much room at the top of the box for Hoarau, who simply collected the ball and curled it past the prone Timmy.
1-0 Young Boys!
Roberto Martinez will be livid at the room that Hoarau was given there. They must know all about him - he's only scored six in seven EL matches this season!
How will the Toffees respond?
Oh - great save from Mvogo from The Chunk.
And again! From Barkley!
GOAL! The Chunk levels it!!!!
Terrific header from a standing position - loads of power.
1-1!
GOAL! Everton have turned it around within four minutes - Coleman popping up at the back post to stab home!!
1-2 Toffees!
Oh - great double save by Timmy to keep Everton in front. This is a cracking cup tie.
GOAL! The Chunk puts this tie to bed with a third goal!!!
A suspicion of offside there perhaps as Gareth Barry slid a pass across that was slightly deflected into Lukaku's path at the back post. Young Boys napping again.
1-3 Everton!
Oh - Sanogo nearly bought Young Boys a lifeline there. Off the post from a deflection from McCarthy. Quite a save there.
And that's the end of the first half of action here in Bern. Everton have quite simply taken Young Boys apart in this first period, effectively rendering this tie over.
We're back on at Bern now for the second half, the home side about to get us going again. Not sure where they can go from here.
Half time scores in the Europa:
Aalborg 0 Brugge 2
Dnipro 0 Olympiacos 0
PSV 0 Zenit 0
Roma 1 Feyenoord 0
Torino 2 Bilbao 1
Trabz 0 Napoli 3
Wolfsburg 0 Sporting 0
GOAL! Everton are truly home and hosed as The Chunk rounds the keeper and finishes off his hat-trick!
1-4!
Oh dear - John Stones has gotten himself sent off for pulling back Hoarau. Penalty to Young Boys!
The big Frenchman has gotten up off the turf and will take this one himself.
Oh - he's skied it well over!!!
Still 1-4 Everton!
Everton have wrapped up a splendid 1-4 win away to Young Boys this evening. They road their luck on occasion, with a missed penalty and loss of John Stones, but that three goal lead should be enough to see them through into the Round of 16.
In other results tonight:
Aalborg 1 Brugge 3
Dnipro 2 Olympiacos 0
PSV 0 Zenit 1
Roma 1 Feyenoord 1
Torino 2 Bilbao 2
Trabz 0 Napoli 4
Wolfsburg 2 Sporting 0
I'm back for the proceedings at Shite Fart tonight, Spurs taking on Fiorentina.
The starting XIs:
Spurs - Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies, Townsend, Paulinho, Bentaleb, Chadli, Eriksen, Soldado.
Fiorentina - Tatarus, Savic, Gonzalo, Pizarro, Bassong, Joaquin, Fernandez, Valero, Pasqual, Salah, Gomez.
