7’ - Alcaraz is on the left, Harrison on the right. The Argentine is in the half space with Garner going wider than him. Everton’s press has been pretty fierce, giving the Hammers no time on the ball at all.
Oooh lovely play there. Alcaraz finds Harrison in a central spot outside the box with his back goal, and the wide man swivels with the ball and tries a shot, blocked by Soucek.
5’ - Gana and Alcaraz hunt down Kudus outside his own box and nick the ball, but the ref says foul.

4’ - Brilliant long ball from Branthwaite finds Mykolenko in space, he brings it down but then his cross is woeful and goes out.
1’ - Garner gets us underway, Everton attacking the Park End which is buzzing with banners and flags, thanks to the great work from The 1878s. Ball immediately lumped forward and Beto goes down in the box. Nothing in that, and VAR confirms that.
Just the five games left to play at Goodison Park - the siren has gone off, Z-Cars has played and the players are on the pitch.
Everton - A surprise as David Moyes drops Jesper Lindstrøm and hands the start to Carlos Alcaraz instead. Also, Armando Broja is on the bench.
West Ham - As expected, Potter pretty much has his best lineup available.
Everton are not unbeaten in the last eight league games, but things haven’t been necessarily rosy with half of those results coming as draws. The Toffees have a chance to get back to winning ways against a struggling West Ham outfit that has struggled mightily in the aftermath of David Moyes leaving the Hammers.
The two sides are locked together in the league table, tied on points, and the winner should take all the spoils with nine games left to play in the league after this.
