Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Everton vs West Ham United
It finishes all square at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Everton and West Ham play out a 1-1 draw. The Toffees took the lead in the 18th minute as they exposed their opponents' vulnerability at corners, with Michael Keane heading home from James Garner's cross. However, the Hammers created the better quality of chances over the 90 minutes, recording an xG of 1.17 to their opponents' 0.73. The visitors equalised after a promising spell in the second half, with Jarrod Bowen's deflected strike in the 65th minute securing their first point under Nuno Espirito Santo. That will give them momentum to build on when they head to the Emirates Stadium to face title contenders Arsenal on Saturday. Meanwhile, Everton are now on a four-match winless run in all competitions, and their quest to get back on track does not get any easier. Indeed, on Sunday, they welcome a Crystal Palace side enjoying a hugely impressive 18-game unbeaten streak. Thanks for joining us today. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, goodbye!

Everton look to finish with a flourish as Grealish embarks on a trademark run down the left. However, his attempted cross does not go as intended, and ends up on top of the net. West Ham can relax with a goal-kick. Surely, it will finish honours even here.

Irving also enters the fray for the visitors, with Fullkrug making way.

Dewsbury-Hall is deemed to have caught Walker-Peters late and goes into the book, much to his dismay. Replays suggest the Everton midfielder is right to feel aggrieved, as he appeared to play the ball. He will now miss the Toffees' next game against Crystal Palace this weekend, after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.

GOOD SAVE! Now, Everton go looking for the game's decisive third goal. Grealish tees the ball up for Garner, who unleashes a fierce low drive, but Areola is down well to block it.
