Carroll takes a decent first touch to the jeers of the home faithful.

Osman shows a great sleight of foot to get past Reid and then bearing down on goal, with the visiting defence backing off, he draws aim but Jaaskelainen claims with relative ease.
11'
Everton again utilise the wings as Coleman charges forward but his run is brought to a halt by a pretty blatant looking block. Nothing doing there though.
10'
West Ham really struggling to get going here.
9'
Mike Jones, the referee who was expected to officiate, picked up an injury in the warm up so Phil Dowd is the man with the whistle today.
7'
Gibson now with a dipping effort from 20 yards out that dips on to the top of the net.

GOOOAL!!! What a team goal. Mirallas finds Baines, who slips the ball inside to Fellaini. He finds Pienaar, who slips the ball square to Mirallas, and he manages to squeeze the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.
5'
Apologies in advance but we are having slight technical difficulties meaning that the comments aren’t appearing as quickly as they should.
4'
Everton win another corner. This time the delivery finds the head of Fellaini, who heads across goal and Distin just can’t get the required connection as his effort flies wide of the goal from close range.
3'
Now on the opposite side of the pitch, Mirallas crosses to the near post but Collins clears for the corner. Baines trots over but his delivery is too deep.
2'
The home side work the ball well down their left through the trusted axis of Pienaar and Baines until the full-back sweeps the ball into the box. A West Ham leg shoots out to hack clear.

And we're off.

Moyes is extended a tremendous ovation as he waves to the home faithful. His standing ovation is very well deserved.
14:55
MATCH ODDS: Everton (8/15) West Ham United (13/2) Draw (7/2).
14:50
Sam Allardyce on Moyes's move to United: "I’m sure it will be David’s final move. He has enjoyed longevity at Preston when he stopped playing as a manager and then Everton for 11 years. He'll enjoy longevity at Manchester United as long as he continues to win trophies while he stays there.”
14:45
David Moyes on departing the club for Manchester United: "My mind was swaying on staying at Everton. All we've ever done here was keep planning. And that is what we've done. I have to say thanks to the fans. I can remember my first game against Fulham here as if it was tomorrow. Everton is a great club. They are progressing. We're quite regularly competing around sixth or seventh spots every season. I will do all I can to help Everton and Bill Kenwright find their next manager."
14:40
West Ham’s Premier League status is assured but there are some of the Boleyn faithful who have questioned Sam Allardyce's new contract. Sitting tenth in the league with two games to go is not a bad return. But how will they fare without Andy Carroll next season? Do they need to heavily invest and can they retain Mohamed Diame?
14:35
Everton’s European hopes are all but extinguished so the talk of Goodison will be about the man who will succeed Moyes. Who do you think it will/should be? Leave your thoughts at the bottom of the page in the comments section.
14:30
So, David Moyes is off and what better way to sign off than a win against West Ham that will ensure Everton a second successive top-flight finish above Liverpool - something they've not achieved since 1937.
14:25
Departing manger David Moyes has a full squad to choose from bar Phil Neville, who is denied a Goodison Park swansong by a knee injury. For West Ham, James Tomkins (calf) and George McCartney (knee) are the only absentees.
