    Time:90'
    • West Ham United
    • Everton
    • 90+6' It finishes one-all, but neither manager will be particularly happy either with the result or the performance. One to forget.
    • 90+5' Poor free-kick by Parker, who hits it straight out of play. That will be game over.
    • 90+5' Cole is fouled off the ball by Leighton Baines and this could be a last-ditch opportunity for West Ham to nick it. Free-kick 30 yards out, just right of centre.
    • 90+4' EVERTON: Diniyar Bilyaletdinov on for Mikel Arteta.
    • 90+3' Sears with a good run down the right but he has only Cole to aim at in the box and Neville heads back to Howard.
    • 90+2' Controversy as Tim Howard comes racing out of the area and appears to commit not one but two fouls!! Howard Webb says the keeper did nothing wrong and it's a West Ham throw!
    • 90+1' Yakubu tries to backheel for Arteta but puts the ball out for a throw. Woeful. FIVE MINUTES of stoppage time!
    • 90' EVERTON: Jermaine Beckford is on for Steven Pienaar.
    • 90' Cahill wins the header but cannot direct it on target and West Ham have a goal-kick.
    • 89' Yakubu wins an Everton corner off Faubert and this is a chance to get some bodies forward.
    • 88' Upson looks like he has gone through the back of Pienaar to win the ball but Howard Webb is right on the spot and says no foul.
    • 87' Oh dear... Coleman and Neville play the ball between each other four or five times without getting a cross away, then Neville passes it to the opposition.
    • 86' Parker hits a long range shot that is blocked...
    • 85' WEST HAM: Zavon Hines replaces Victor Obinna, who looks extremely unhappy at being withdrawn.
    • 84' West Ham are about to make another change.
    • 83' Faubert is limping after colliding with one of his own players. He should be OK.
    • 82' Cahill has the ball in the net but it won't count - he came from an offside position to ram that in, and it's a good decision to chalk off the goal.
    • 81' FELLAINI!! Meets the corner with a powerful header but Green repels it with a smart save!
    • 80' Baines drives forward down the left andf finds Yakubu, who bears down on goal but Parker saves the day with a superb sliding tackle.
    • 79' CAHILL! Chance for the Australian as he shoots through the legs of a defender but straight at Green.
    • 77' The ball pinballs around the West Ham half, but nobody can put their foot on it and inject a moment of quality that could win this game.
    • 76' Everton come away on the break but their reinforcements take a while to get forward, and Phil Neville's cross from the right is blocked.
    • 74' Obinna smashes a 30-yard free-kick into the wall. I wish he could fire a football into my face and give me just cause to skip the last 16 minutes of this game. Sorry, I'm just not captivated.
    • 73' Foul, long ball, foul, long ball. Excuse me if I seem less than riveted by this.
    • 72' Parker aims a deep corner towards Tomkins who sends his header high over the bar.
    • 71' James Tomkins is struggling with a knock of some kind. He has a bit of treatment and returns to the fray.
    • 70' Great chance as West Ham come away on the break and Freddie Sears crosses low for Carlton Cole, but the striker miscues his shot completely and he drags it wide. A real chance...
    • 69' Pienaar breaks through the middle and tries to find Yakubu, but the pass is cut out.
    • 68' Parker tries to release Sears down the right but Baines does well to shield the ball and it goes out for a goal-kick.
    • 67' Everton are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away matches but have drawn four of the last five.
    • 65' Pienaar is too quick for Kovac, who trips the midfielder and picks up a booking.
    • 64' It's not the best game of football. Neither side really creating much, and not much quality.
    • 62' EVERTON: Yakubu replaces Jack Rodwell as David Moyes deigns to use a striker.
    • 61' The replays shows no handball by Upson.
    • 60' Coleman crosses low from the right and Upson slips before recovering to clear - Cahill says Upson used his arm to control the ball, but referee Webb doesn't want to know.
    • 58' Everton looking the likelier scorers... although not if Cahill continues crossing as badly as that. Straight to Green.
    • 57' WEST HAM: Carlton Cole comes on for Frederic Piquionne, who is carrying an injury.
    • 56' Rodwell spoons an ambitious long-range volley well wide.
    • 55' Arteta's cross falls to the feet of Rodwell who works it back to Pienaar and the South African's shot is blocked.
    • 53' West Ham have a free-kick on their left that Parker floats into the box - Howard punches clear. Neither side doing all that much with their attacking positions.
    • 52' Hibbert whacks a long ball into the West Ham half... and Tomkins heads away unchallenged.
    • 51' Piquionne penalised for pulling Hibbert over. A very stop-start game so far - that's the 15th foul.
    • 50' Obinna goes down yelping theatrically following Pienaar's late whack on the shins. Just a free-kick, though.
    • 49' Everton have started the second half in the ascendancy, though they have not created any chances yet.
    • 48' David Moyes reacts with alarming intensity to a rash Cahill tackle. He wants his man to calm down - right back at you, gaffer.
    • 47' Obinna hits a weak, long-range shot that barely makes it as far as Howard.
    • 46' Second half under way, with no personnel changes from either manager.
    • 45+3' That's half-time, and it has been interesting stuff. One each at the break.
    • 45+2' Coleman cuts inside from the right and goes for goal again... fires over!
    • 45+1' Two minutes of stoppage time to be played.
    • 45' PARKER!! Spots Howard off his line and tries an audacious chip from long range... it drops just over!
    • 44' Arteta crosses from the left towards Cahill... who is beaten in the air.
    • 43' West Ham corner headed goalwards by Upson... it bounces well wide.
    • 42' GOAL!! Everton level through Seamus Coleman! Cahill crosses from the left to the back post where Coleman arrives completely unmarked to drill the ball low past Green!
    • 41' Piquionne tries to pick out the run of Parker through the middle but it is cut out. Everton come away with it.
    • 39' Phil Neville hits a powerful long-range shot but it cannons back off the first defender.
    • 38' Cahill is penalised for pulling Upson. He has had successful spells as a lone striker before but doesn't seem to be enjoying himself tonight. Plenty of options on the bench - Saha, Yakubu and Beckford.
    • 37' Fellaini leaves a foot in late on Obinna, and is lucky not to pick up a booking for that tackle...
    • 36' Piquionne chases it down the left flank and appears to win a throw off Distin, but the linesman flags in Everton's favour.
    • 35' No time for a warm-up for Jonathan Spector, who comes straight on for his stricken team-mate.
    • 34' Herita Ilunga is down and needs treatement... the physio says he will have to come off.
    • 33' Everton work the ball neatly to Baines on the left whose cross flies over everyone - wasted.
    • 32' Upson drifts across to the right to cut off Rodwell down the Everton left... throw-in to the Toffees.
    • 31' Obinna finds Piquionne racing through the left channel, who turns away from one challenge but cannot get his shot away.
    • 29' Great work by Parker inside his own box, winning the ball and turning away from danger. Calmness personified.
    • 28' West Ham deal with it well - and bring the ball clear to applause. They are playing with greater confidence since scoring that rather fortunate goal.
    • 27' Everton win a corner on the left which leighton Baines will take.
    • 26' Boa Morte sabs the ball through the left channel for Parker to run on to, but the West Ham skipper strays offside.
    • 24' Rodwell fouls Tomkins 30 yards from goal and this will be a good chance for West Ham.
    • 23' Very combative stuff in the centre of the park. Scott Parker and Radoslav Kovac just relentless for West Ham.
    • 22' Tim Howard comes miles out of his goal to collect the ball and is caught shielding the ball against the corner flag! He is lucky to win a goal-kick.
    • 20' OBINNA!! Nutmegs Arteta, cuts in from the right and smashes the ball against a post - sadly for him, it's the thin 'stanchion' post holding up the net.
    • 20' Freddie Sears races down the right and crosses low... Hibbert gets a toe on it but the ball will not drop for Boa Morte!
    • 19' DISTIN AGAIN! He hits a left-foot volley that takes a big deflection off Tomkins but Howard Webb and his team award a goal-kick.
    • 18' Arteta's corner finds the head of Distin, who heads a yard or so wide of the right-hand post!
    • 17' Good run down the right by Coleman, who wins a corner off Upson.
    • 16' Well, that came completely against the run of play, but the makeshift centre-back has put his team in a hole... Avram Grant declines to crack a smile.
    • 15' GOAL!!! WEST HAM LEAD! It's a Tony Hibbert own-goal! Tomkins' header is saved by Howard, Kovac plays the ball back in and Hibbert diverts it past his own keeper!
    • 13' Cahill is working manfully as a target man up front, but it's not a role that particularly suits him.
    • 12' Pienaar squares to Cahill whose control lets him down and Faubert nicks possession. A very scrappy game, although Everton are on top.
    • 11' Neville booms a high ball into the box looking for Cahill's head, but it's a bit untidy from Everton and the home team clear up.
    • 9' A long spell of possession here for Everton, but Parker nicks it off Rodwell and here come West Ham... Obinna just cannot get his shot away.
    • 8' Everton have certainly started the better, and they are showing plenty of fluidity breaking forward from midfield.
    • 7' Coleman picks out Distin wide on the left, who goes for goal.... drags his shot wide from a very tight angle!
    • 6' Arteta delivers into a melee of players and West Ham gets it half-clear...
    • 5' Rodwell darts down the right and wins a corner off Parker...
    • 4' Everton break promisingly down the left, but Pienaar strays offside.
    • 3' No early patterns emerging yet. West Ham can escape the bottom three with a win today...
    • 2' Great tackle by Hibbert on Obinna - Hibbert has a job on his hands today playing at centre-back.
    • 1' GAME ON! Both teams are playing in their home kit - West Ham kicking from right to left as we see it.
    • 17:25 So Carlton Cole is on the bench for West Ham despite his two goals at Fulham, while Luis Boa Morte returns after suspension. Phil Jagielka misses out injured for Everton so Tony Hibbert deputises at centre-back. No recognised striker for Everton, who will most likely play with Fellaini supporting Cahill.
    • 17:20 Some interesting results in the 3pm kick-offs - we have new Premier League leaders, while Blackpool won again, and Fulham triumphed thanks to two wondergoals from Chris Baird. That's Chris Baird. Premier League scores and scorers
    • 17:15 Everton have drawn all three matches in London this season - 1-1 at Chelsea (December 4) and Tottenham (October 23) and 0-0 at Fulham (September 25).
    • 17:10 West Ham have lost their last four home matches against Merseyside opposition, conceding at least twice on each occasion, since a 1-0 victory against Liverpool in January 2008.
    • 17:05 West Ham and Everton have met 110 times in the league. West Ham have won 32, Everton 55 and there have been 23 draws. They have met 30 times in the Premier League. West Ham have won six, Everton 16 and there have been eight draws.
