Everton host West Ham United on Saturday looking to continue their five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
The Blues are hoping to finish the season strongly as they prepare to leave Goodison Park at the end of the campaign and can continue that with a victory against the Hammers on Saturday (15 March).
They can build momentum in the final stages ahead of the move to the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium for the 2025/26 season.

Everton are hoping for a grand farewell to Goodison.
Merson wowed by David Moyes impact at Everton
David Moyes has transformed Everton since replacing Sean Dyche in January, only losing two out of ten matches in all competitions.
Paul Merson has been blown away by the upturn in form under the Scotsman since he returned to the Goodison Park dugout and predicted a 2-0 win for the Toffees.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
In his weekly predictions column for Sportskeeda (13 March), he said: “Everton have absolutely amazing under David Moyes.
“He has finally got them playing football! Even when they drew against Manchester United, they were still the better team for most parts of that game.
“It’s not like Everton are getting smash and grab wins, they are putting in genuinely good performances.”

Moyes can spark Everton revival
The Scotsman has taken the Blues far away from the relegation struggle that they were involved with under Dyche earlier in the campaign in a stunning turnaround.
The Goodison Park outfit are now 16 points above the drop zone and can start to begin their planning for next season, with expiring contracts to be sorted and transfer targets to be identified before the season concludes.
If The Friedkin Group can back Moyes properly in the summer transfer window, the Blues will have their eye on a top-half finish at the very least, if not European qualification under the Europa Conference League winner.
If Moyes could guide the Toffees back into Europe, it would be a major success after the abysmal recent campaigns where they have only just secured top-flight survival and had to endure points deductions and financial strife under Farhad Moshiri.
The new era, both on and off the pitch, has the potential to be a game-changer and take the club back to where they belong, as one of the leading clubs in the English game.
Blues supporters can begin to dream of a brighter future rather than one where the very existence of the club is threatened, with Moyes a key factor behind that.
