Everton are back in action on Saturday afternoon as they play host to David Moyes’ former side West Ham United.
The Toffees have avoided defeat in eight straight Premier League games, which is David Moyes’ longest unbeaten streak since 2012.
Moyes has admitted it will be emotional coming up against West Ham, where he enjoyed two successful spells.
The two sides are level on points with each other and could jump above Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur with a win.
Ahead of the Goodison Park clash, Everton fans have announced something that has left Abdoulaye Doucoure in shock.

Abdoulaye Doucoure in shock over Everton banner
Everton fans have announced that they will unveil a banner of Abdoulaye Doucoure on Saturday afternoon as a nod to his wonder strike against Bournemouth on the final day of the 2022/23 season.
Doucoure’s winner kept Everton up that day and it’s widely regarded as one of the most important goals in the club’s recent history.

The fan group also wanted to celebrate his goal against Leicester City last month, which was the fastest goal ever scored at Goodison clocking in at 10.18 seconds.
Doucoure, replying to the announcement on X, was left shocked and thankful.
Doucoure in limbo at the moment
Doucoure could be playing his final few games in an Everton shirt as his contract is due to expire at the end of the season.
It was initially reported that the Mali international would not have his deal extended, however, that stance has changed over the last week, or so.
Doucoure could still be offered a new deal, however, nothing will be agreed until the club secure their Premier League status.
That now seems almost certain with Moyes’ side sitting 16 points clear of the drop zone.
