Preview: Everton vs West Ham

Everton and West Ham go head to head at Goodison Park, Everton are in the hunt for Champions League qualification while West Ham's season looks to be over with 8 games to go already. Last weeks results were both a reverse in form for each side.

West Ham won't like Goodison all that much due to only one win in their last six visits and a recent 5-0 loss adds to their pain.

The shock away defeat away at Fulham last time out was Everton's first league loss since Arsenal won at Goodison 4-1.

West Ham halted a run of three successive 0-4 defeats with last weekend's 2-1 home victory over Blackburn.

Teams

Victor Anichebe’s hip injury has improved and he could be called up, but Andy Johnson is out with an injury. Thomas Gravesen is out due to a knee injury.

Bobby Zamora is struggling to overcome painful blisters and Carlton Cole probably won't play. Matthew Upson is battling for a place in the side after injury.
