Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Everton's clash with West Ham United in the Premier League. They visit the Hammers in desperate need of a positive result and performance before the international break. Sean Dyche's side have been well below their best in the last two outings - a draw at home to Fulham and a loss to Southampton - and have slumped back down the table as a result.
Everton go into the weekend fixtures just two points clear of the relegation zone with a brutal December schedule to come. West Ham have been struggling too and some reports suggest manager Julen Lopetegui could be moved on should they suffer a defeat to the Toffees. After some lavish summer spending they sit just two points clear of the Blues after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Everton managed to earn a 1-0 win at the London Stadium last season thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal. Joe Thomas and Chris Beesley will be in attendance in the capital. Stick with us for build-up, live updates and reaction from West Ham.
