Live Blog
23’ – Tarkowski gets booked for a sliding tackle on Fullkrug from a poor backpass by Gana. The German forward certainly made a meal of it.
17’ – Grealish to Myko, he finds KDH running in behind the backline, cross blocked for the first corner of the game. Garner inswinger, Areola bravely punches it away.
KDH, back into the box by Garner, and Keane hammers in his header over the goalie!! GOAL!!! 1-0 to the Blues!!
15’ – Tarky cross floated into the box, Beto heads it on but it’s straight at Areola.
Excellent counter. Myko fights for the ball on the touchline, Gana plays it on, KDH takes it and chooses not to shoot, finds Ndiaye cutting in and his shot is right at the keeper too.
13’ – Debutant Magassa blocks a KDH cross and Everton are denied a corner. He’s taken Ward-Prowse’s spot in the lineup.
Summerville with a mazy run into the box, ball rebounds and falls to him and Myko with a good block.
11’ – Good sequence – Grealish, Gana, KDH, Myko cross, blocked for a throw-in. Deep ball into the box, hacked away.
10’ – Twice now Bowen has been able to cross the ball in ahead of Myko, and now Keane has to step up and block a Paqueta shot.
7’ – We have a minute’s applause for Bradley Lowery now.
Good cross into the the box, falls awkwardly to Gana who can’t control the ball and Hammers can clear.
5’ – Everton holding the ball up well, poking and probing at the Hammers backline. The trio of Grealish – KDH – Ndiaye have all won the ball back quickly after the Blues have lost it.
2’ – Beto almost wriggles his way through a couple of defenders but loses his footing. He looks hungry.
1’ – The Blues get us underway!
The siren has gone, Z-Cars has played to great cheer, the light show has gone with aplomb and we’re ready to play some football!
Starting Lineups
Everton: No real surprises here as David Moyes has chosen his strongest lineup here trying to prove a point to his former employers. Beto gets the call up front ahead of Barry, who could yet make an impact as a second half substitute. 200th Premier League appearance for Everton for Gana tonight.
West Ham: Nuno Santo in his first game in charge hasn’t tried to change too much here. Small surprise that deadball specialist James Ward-Prowse is not in squad at all, won’t miss his corners and freekicks.
Match Preview
Everton are back to the friendly and new confines of Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to get back on track after two away games resulted in defeats of differing natures. A close loss in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield might have been foreseen, but David Moyes making seven changes and then the side playing pathetically poorly in the Carabao Cup exit at Wolves has certainly gotten the fanbase riled up again.
West Ham were struggling under Graham Potter but have now made the change, replacing the former Brighton and Chelsea manager with Nuno Santo, formerly of Wolves, Tottenham and then Nottingham Forest. The Portuguese manager was closely linked with taking over at Goodison Park at one point too.
The injury situation remains about the same for the Blues with Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl still out, while the visitors have Tomas Soucek suspended and Aaron Wan Bissaka ill.
