Injuries
Everton will have goalkeeper Tim Howard back after he was
ineligible to play against his parent club, Manchester United, in
midweek.
But Andrew Johnson remains doubtful with a hamstring problem and
Tim Cahill is out long-term with a knee injury.
West Ham defender Danny Gabbison misses out after injuring a
hamstring in last weekend's win over Sheffield United.
Defenders James Collins, Tyrone Mears and John Pantsil are all in
contention after recovering from injuries.
Everton manager David
Moyes:
¿We took the chance a couple of seasons ago to get into the top
four and we are trying to do that again.
¿If you get a run of two or three wins together it can make a big
difference to your position and put you in a good situation.
¿There will be a few more twists and turns because there is very
little difference between the bottom and top so if you don't do
your job right you could just as easily find yourself near the
bottom."
West Ham manager Alan
Pardew:
"I really like Andy Johnson, I think he's had a great start to the
season and on our part we expect him to play regardless of the
signals coming out of Everton.
"He knows I'm an admirer of him and he's done terrifically well at
Everton, he's a great lad."
BIG-MATCH FACTS
EVERTON have just one win under their belt in six
League outings, going into this Sunday afternoon mid-table match-up
with West Ham. They are seven points better off than their East End
opponents, who've scored a mere two goals and gained one point on
their Premiership travels.
David Moyes must lift his players after the midweek 3-0 mauling by
Manchester United. They go into the weekend only three points off
third spot., and chasing a fifth home victory, having avoided
defeat in six of the seven at Goodison so far this term.
The Toffees have won half of the 22 Premier League tussles with
West Ham, and have enjoyed some high scoring victories (5-0 at home
in September 2001, 0-4 at Upton Park in February 2000 and 6-0 at
Goodison in May 1999).
WEST HAM UNITED pulled off a narrow 1-0 victory
over fellow strugglers Sheffield United for their new owner Eggert
Magnussom last Saturday. But that only gives them 14 points from 14
outings. Averaging a point a game is relegation form - it only
equates to 38 points for the season, two below the generally
accepted survival target of 40. The new "hands-on" chairman will be
expecting a return from this trip to Merseyside.
The recovering Eastenders have won three of the last five
Premiership games, after losing five on the bounce and picking up
just two points from a possible 24. But they still travel, eager to
gain their first away win of the season, and halt a six-match
losing League run on the road.
The Hammers take to the field attempting to tie up successive
victories at Goodison, after last season's 1-2 triumph.
