Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Everton's clash with West Ham United in the Premier League.
The Blues go into the game as one of the form teams in the top flight at the moment, with David Moyes putting together an impressive seven-game unbeaten run.
Everton have drawn their last three games though - last time out was a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers - and supporters will be desperate to see a victory. Including today's clash with the Hammers, there are just five games remaining at Goodison Park before the Blues move out.
The match will likely be an emotional one for that reason and it will hold particular resonance for Moyes too. The Scot enjoyed great success in two stints with West Ham, memorably winning the Europa Conference League in his second spell.
Everton and West Ham are both on 33 points with ten games to go in the campaign, putting them 16 points clear of the relegation zone. Victory for either this afternoon would see them jump up into 13th in the standings above Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
The match is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. (GMT) with team news coming at 1:45 p.m.. Joe Thomas, Chris Beesley and Connor O'Neill will be in place shortly to bring you live build-up, goal updates and reaction from Goodison Park.
