Pressure relieved. Andre Gomes floats one into the West Ham box but Issa Diop goes down. that looks like a foul.

That's a foul by Declan Rice who just chops Richarlison down midway inside the West ham half.

Another chance for the visitors to make life very uncomfortable for the hosts.

West Ham definitely do have a right back Mark. I'd forgotten he was playing but Pablo Zabaleta has just smashed an effort high, wide and handsome.

Honestly that was Roberto Carlos territory. Never on but the hosts' first real shot after 25 minutes.

Mark: West Ham have forgotten to put a right back on the pitch. Come to think of it a whole defence.

I can't work out if Everton are being brilliant or West Ham are just dreadful at the moment.

A combination of both perhaps.

Here come Everton again. A well worked move involving Seamus Coleman and Richarlison ends with Dominic Calvert-Lewin inches away from flicking in the visitors second goal.

Everton has come out of the traps here like Clubber Lang in Rocky III.

With West Ham just about hanging on at the minute.

Everton are searching for a second here and are being given the freedom of the London stadium at the moment by their hosts.

Bernard whips a ball across the six-yard box and the hammers scramble it clear.

Lukasz Fabianski take a bow. I'm not quite sure what is going on in the West Ham defence but thank goodness for Fabianski!

Now it's Idrissa Gueye steaming forward and winning Everton a corner. I thought he was a holding midfielder.

West Ham are all over the place.

Bright start here from Everton who are all over West Ham.

Bernard drifts in off the left beating a couple of defenders with ease before his shot is blocked.

In case you're wondering about the importance of this game.... well it's a big one for either side wishing to win the best of the rest league.

I mean finishing seventh in the Premier League.

West Ham currently sit in 10th on 42 points with Everton in 11th on 40 points.

Wolves currently occupy seventh spot with 44 points.

So basically there are four points between a group of five clubs (Wolves, Watford, Leicester, West Ham and Everton).

A pretty tight pack.

A pretty uneventful start as both teams try to settle. Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks like he could be doing a bit of running this evening.

He's already chased down a couple of balls in the channel.

And away we go.

BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is up against legendary guitarist Johnny Marr this week and you can read all their predictions here.

But what does he reckon about this one....

Which West Ham team will turn up this week, and in which half? They have been so up and down recently, it is hard to know.

Everton have been inconsistent too but I look at the way they played in the second half of their win over Chelsea before the international break and think they might be at the start of a little unbeaten run.

Prediction: 1-1

Steve Bower
Match of the Day commentator

These two clubs started the season with new managers, optimism and investment - finishing as the 'best of the rest' was a realistic target. Despite their inconsistencies, seventh is still within reach.

West Ham have finally made the London Stadium feel like home, unbeaten in their last six there and aiming for a fourth home win in a row - albeit they still have defensive deficiencies to work on.

Everton's second-half performance against Chelsea last time out reminded Marco Silva what his team are potentially capable of; the huge frustration is that he hasn't witnessed that level often enough.

That win was only their second in seven games, and leaves them with an identical record from 12 months ago and questions of progress still unanswered.
