With Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, Romelu Lukaku will have a chance to extend his lead at the top of the goalscoring charts.

Everton fans and those with the Belgium in their fantasy football teams, will be hoping for the striker to add to his 24 goals today.

The signs are ominous for the Hammers - Lukaku has scored in each of his nine previous appearances against West Ham in all appearances.

Only Lionel Messi, with 17 goals, has scored more often in the top five European leagues than Lukaku in 2017. However, only one of the Belgian's 14 goals has come away from home.

Goalkeepers Adrian and Maarten Stekelenburg return to their starting line-ups today.

Adrian has not played a Premeir League game since 5 November, while his opposite number starts for the first time since 19 December.

West Ham need three points for safety. Everton need to improve their away form to finish in the top five. They are favourites here even though they haven't won outside of Goodison Park for nearly three months.

They've only lost once against the Hammers in 17 meetings. Romelu Lukaku has a lethal hit-rate against them. They also have pace in key attacking areas to trouble the patched-up home side.

Injuries to Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna, plus suspensions for Sam Byram and Mark Noble, leave Slaven Bilic short of numbers. Too many of his summer signings haven't come up to scratch.

There is much work to be done before they're safe.

West Ham have not had the best of seasons so reaching that magical 40 points is imperative for Slaven Bilic's side today.

The Hammers have 16 fewer points this season after 33 Premier League games than they had at this stage last season, in Bilic's first year in charge.

Hosts West Ham make four changes from their draw with Swansea. 

Adrian, Winston Reid and Havard Nordtveit come in, along with Jonathan Calleri who makes his first Premier League start.

Everton make one change in goal - Joel Robles makes way for Maarten Stekelenburg. The Dutchman is playing his first game since 19 December.

A win for West Ham today would all but secure their Premier League status for another year.

Everton can climb up to fifth, above Manchester United and Arsenal, with victory at the London Stadium. 

But their away form is patchy - just two wins in their last 12 games on their travels.

Plenty at stake for both sides so let's get straight into it with the team news and Everton have a new number one...and no, it's not the four-legged friend at the top of this entry.
