The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
West Ham United come into this fixture having won just one of their last five in the top flight, but they still sit ninth and have won in both the Carabao Cup and Europa League during that period. David Moyes is certainly overseeing a better start to the domestic campaign than last year and they are favourites for three points at home.
As for his old club Everton, they are reeling from the recent death of chairman Bill Kenwright, while on the pitch they are struggling after just two league wins this term so far. Sean Dyche’s team sit 16th, two points above the drop zone.

West Ham United vs Everton
Calvert-Lewin scored his 50th Premier League goal to help Everton beat West Ham. The hosts had the first chance of the match. Paqueta flicked the ball over the head of Patterson and drilled a pass across to Bowen, but he blasted his shot wide. Harrison had a shot saved by Areola before an entertaining second half. Bowen had a goal-bound effort blocked by Branthwaite, with Everton scoring soon after. Harrison found Calvert-Lewin, who rolled past two defenders before driving his strike across the goal and into the bottom corner. Bowen smashed a shot over from a tight angle before Doucoure had a golden opportunity. He got onto the end of a clever flick from Calvert-Lewin, but his effort was pushed wide by Areola. Paqueta then found Benrahma with an excellent cross for West Ham's final chance. However, his powerful volley was stopped by Pickford. Attention now turns to the EFL Cup. West Ham host Arsenal and Everton welcome Burnley. That's all for today, goodbye.
