Did Kevin Mirallas take a dive here? The Everton forward is convinced he's been fouled on the edge of the box, but the ref takes the opposite view - and it's a caution for simulation.

First bit of play from West Ham we've seen so far. Fluid, on the deck, Emmanuel Emenike the lynchpin, but they get pulled back for an offside. 

Now here's Dimitri Payet though as the Hammers reclaim the ball, bearing down on goal you can hear the away fans urging the shot... it's low and hard and just wide of the Everton stick.

Just seen a replay of that McCarthy chance and I tell you what - Everton had a decent shout for a penalty in the build-up too. 

Reece Oxford (solid so far apart from this) had his hands all over John Stones, dragging him back before Stones went falling to the ground. 

Seen them given...

What a save by Adrian! The Spanish keeper is up for this too - brilliantly tipping over James McCarthy's dipping shot from the edge of the box. 

Good early pressure from the home side.

Ooof! Here we go, bit of a stand-off between Adrian and Romelu Lukaku... 

The Everton forward left a bit on the West Ham keeper when challenging for a loose ball - claimed by Adrian, and Lukaku had fouled Ogbonna in the build-up anyway.

Lukaku is pumped though, wide-eyed.

With Ross Barkley and Dimitri Payet on the pitch, there should be plenty of sparkle today... 

Payet's first touch is to chest down a wayward Barkley pass, the Everton man handing him an early taste. Is there such a thing as the midfield wizard's union?

The Hammers get us under way.

Here we go then, the players are making their way out onto the pitch to warm applause... 

Kick-off moments away.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "We want to make Goodison a comfortable place (for Everton) and please our fans.

"We want to show we can win games at home consistently, bringing the good form we have produced away from home in front of our supporters.

"You don't get a better challenge than doing that against teams like West Ham, Chelsea and Arsenal. It is a really exciting period - and one where we need to be really strong."

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic on his side's prospects of a top-four finish: "It is realistic now. We are one point behind with 10 games to go so we have a chance.

"But it's so tight and there are still a lot of games to go. We are also looking below us because there are teams who are queuing up. The gap is not big between us and ninth or 10th in the table."

The Hammers were absolutely brilliant against Tottenham in midweek - but have won just one of their last nine Premier League away matches...

Everton have won 10 and lost none of the last 15 Premier League matches against West Ham United.

Oh, and Romelu Lukaku has scored in each of his seven appearances for Everton against the Hammers, in all competitions.

"The final season at Upton Park was always likely to create strong emotions, with a sense that perhaps it could lead to a very special campaign.

"Two wins away from an FA Cup final, West Ham's excellent recent league form has now even propelled them into genuine Champions League contention.

"That said, the next two league games - away at Everton and Chelsea - will ably demonstrate how realistic their top-four challenge will be.

"Weekend hosts Everton were many experts' pre-season tip for a top-four challenge themselves but, unusually, it has been their poor home record that has let them down.

"Traditionally, West Ham have been Everton's favourite opponents; if the visitors can remain unscathed from this trip it will be a significant statement."

How will the young lad get on today?
