If we're serious about Europe for next season, three points here are a must-have. McBride will be starting for Everton in place of KevCam and Alessandro Pistone will be left out of the line-up in place of Tony Hibbert.

Don Hutchison, Lee Bowyer, Freddie Kanoute and Paolo di Canio are all unavailable for West Ham.

Lineups:
Everton -- Wright; Hibbert, Weir, Stubbs, Unsworth; Watson, Gravesen, Gemmill, Naysmith; Radzinski, McBride. Subs -- Gerrard, Yobo, Li Tie, Rooney, Campbell.

West Ham -- James; Repka, Carrick, Sinclair, Defoe; Lomas, Pearce, Ferdinand, Johnson; Brevett, Cole. Subs -- van der Gouw, Dailly, Breen, Moncur, Cisse.

One year to the day since David Moyes took over ... great day for a win, I think I think.

[TrooperBari]

Radzinski with a good early effort from Gravesen, header straight at Calamity James.

Quick counter from West Ham, but it comes to nothing.

[TrooperBari]

Free kick 30 yards out laid off for Stubbs, deflected wide for a corner.

Corner played short, only half-cleared. West Ham having issues clearing their lines, but they haven't paid for it yet.

[TrooperBari]

West Ham with a pair of early corners, both headed away.

Extended pressure here, but Everton dealing with it so far.

[TrooperBari]

Radzinski played in by Gravesen, but James is off his line quick enough to put the ball out for a throw.

[TrooperBari]

McBride fouled by Brevett, free kick half-cleared. Unsworth's half-volley goes wide.

just say dracula, it's more fun

[TrooperBari]

West Ham wins a corner after a long spell of nothingness ... cleared.

Fugly so far with no continuity for either side.

is this going to be another 1-0 to Everton sort of a game we need to start increasing our goal diff. +4 is ok but +7 after this would be much better.
