Follow live coverage as West Ham United face Everton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town 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.

West Ham United vs Everton17:00
West Ham and Everton played out a goalless draw at the London Stadium, with Pickford's herorics towards the end frustrating the home side and under-pressure manager Lopetegui. The first half was a drab affair, with neither side creating much in the way of chances. Everton did control large swathes of the match in terms of possession but created very little opportunities, with Lindstrom's header in the second half the closest they came to finding a winner. West Ham were poor but still managed to create the best chances, with Pickford called into action to save from Rodriguez and then from two shots by substiute Ings with not long to go, including a stunning one-handed save with virtually the last action of the match. West Ham generated an xG of 1.00 to Everton's 0.97, and they both stay in 14th and 16th in the table respectively. Neither side will be content with a point as the final international break of the year approaches. Thank you and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 0-0 EVERTON
West Ham United vs Everton16:55
INCREDIBLE! WHAT A SAVE! Paqueta finds Ings who strikes a stinging shot which deflects off Tarkowski and it needs the fingertips of England's number one goalkeeper to tip it over the crossbar! He's single-handedly saved a point for his side there.

Neither side have been able to fashion an opportunity in these closing stages, as Fabianski collects a cross.

We will have four minutes of injury time.

Fabianski gathers Mykolenko's teasing cross and sets the Hammers off on another attack as they search for that late winner. Both goalkeepers have performed well for their respective sides today.
West Ham United vs Everton16:48
GOOD SAVE! Ings does well to find some space in the box before striking a low, curling effort which Pickford gets down to save! The substitutions have helped West Ham and they look the stronger during these final few minutes!

West Ham United vs Everton16:41
With ten minutes to go, this match really could go either way. We're all set up for a nervy ending at the London Stadium!
West Ham United vs Everton16:39
Everton are trying to take the sting out of the game after that quick flurry from West Ham, which included Summerville hitting the post, keeping the ball but slowing the tempo right down. Doucoure has dropped deep to add an extra body in midfield for the Toffees.
West Ham United vs Everton16:36
CHANCE! A fabulous pass from Paqueta puts Summerville clear through. He does brillaintly to set himself and get the shot off but his effort strikes the post and bounces clear! Pickford was beaten! Move of the match but West Ham are denied!

Substitution Dominic Nathaniel Calvert-Lewin Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal
West Ham United vs Everton16:33
West Ham look to go forward but the move breaks down after Paqueta's scoop finds no one in claret and blue. The Brazilian cuts a frustrated figure.
West Ham United vs Everton16:31
The West Ham fans are trying to get behind their side, but we've still seen no attacking intent going forward in this half from Lopetegui's men. A throw from Soucek goes straight through to Pickford, leading to more groans. It's been shockingly poor.
West Ham United vs Everton16:27
Ings replaces Antonio up top for the Hammers.

Soler replaces Rodriguez in midfield for West Ham.
West Ham United vs Everton16:27
The first substitution of the match sees Wan-Bissaka come off for Coufal.
West Ham United vs Everton16:25
The London Stadium is growing restless as Everton continue to keep the ball and push the West Ham backline further into their own half. The Toffees look the likelier to break the deadlock with 25 minutes of normal time remaining.
West Ham United vs Everton16:24
Everton asking more questions. Calvert-Lewin holds the ball up expertly before finding Doucoure who tees up Mangala on the edge of the box. The midfielder is already falling back once he attempts the shot and it swerves away from goal, leaving Pickford unchallenged.
West Ham United vs Everton16:23
CHANCE! Ndiaye picks out Mangala who digs out a clipped cross for Lindstrom but his header is tipped over by Fabianski! The resulting corner sees Tarkowski win the header but fail to connect properly with it.
West Ham United vs Everton16:20
Ndiaye's cross is deflected out by Wan Bissaka, the ball falls to Mykolenko but his shot is deflected out for yet another corner which is headed away again.
West Ham United vs Everton16:18
CHANCE! The Hammers have made a similarly slow start to this half but come alive again! The ball falls to Rodriguez on the edge of the area but his stinging shot is kept out by Pickford, who dives late to his left! Brilliant stop!
West Ham United vs Everton16:17
Young catches a flailing arm from Soucek and requires treatment. He looks ok to carry on but the Everton physios are not taking any chances.
West Ham United vs Everton16:15
Having lost their first three Premier League home games this season, West Ham have now won their last two at the London Stadium. They last won three in a row in May/August 2023, while they last did so in the same campaign in October 2022.
West Ham United vs Everton16:14
Kilman does well to head away a delightful cross from Young, with Calvert-Lewin breathing down his neck. Everton once again have a corner but the delivery from Lindstrom is poor once again.
West Ham United vs Everton16:12
Doucoure finds Calvert-Lewin down the left, his cross is a good one but it's just behind Lindstrom and he struggles to direct the header goalwards. More promising signs going forward for the Toffees but they still lack that final touch.
West Ham United vs Everton16:09
Bowen gets away from Branthwaithe before attempting a dipping shot which deflects just wide of Pickford's right-hand post. The Englishman created something of nothing and seems to be the best outlet for the home side on the break.
West Ham United vs Everton16:08
Lindstrom's cross is headed out by Kilman at the expense of a corner. It's taken short but eventually West Ham can clear the danger.
West Ham United vs Everton16:06
Calvert-Lewin is held back by Emerson and Everton have a freekick in a promising position in the start of this second half.
West Ham United vs Everton16:06
Neither change from either side as Doucoure and Everton get us underway for the second half!
West Ham United vs Everton15:57
The live win probability has West Ham at 38.2%, Everton at 25.6% and the prospect of a draw at 36.2%. Both sides look to be in need of reinforcements from the substitutes bench in order to inject new life into this encounter, but it will be up to both managers to decide whether that change has to happen at half-time.
West Ham United vs Everton15:55
West Ham and Everton have played out a dire goalless draw after 45 minutes of their Premier League clash. Neither side have really come close to scoring, with the Toffees enjoying more possession and the home side creating one or two opportunities at the end of the half, with Pickford making a good stop to deny Bowen and then blocking an effort from Antonio which looked to be a cross. Everton have generated an xG of 0.47 to West Ham's 0.19. Both sides will be under pressure by their own supporters to produce much better performances in the second half.
West Ham United vs Everton15:52
HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 0-0 EVERTON
West Ham United vs Everton15:51
Bowen intercepts Tarkowski's poor pass. He keeps the ball before playing in Antonio, who tries to round Pickford but the keeper narrows the angle and blocks his finish. West Ham have come alive in these last few minutes but Pickford has been equal to both Bowen and Antonio.
West Ham United vs Everton15:48
CHANCE! West Ham at last have their first attempt of the match and it's from Bowen. Antonio holds the ball up well before playing the Englishman through. The angle is acute but his right-footed strike has plenty of power and Pickford makes a smart stop low down! The closest either side have come in this first half.
West Ham United vs Everton15:46
Calvert Lewin plants a header from Young's cross which is easily gathered by Fabianski. The veteran fullback has been a decent attacking outlet down the right.
West Ham United vs Everton15:43
It's been really flat so far, with not long to go until the end of the first half. The pressure will continue to be on Lopetegui with inspid first half performances such as these.
West Ham United vs Everton15:41
Calvert-Lewin holds the ball up well before finding Lindstrom, the Dane surges close to the penalty area but his pass is wayward and the opportunity is squandered. The winger has looked bright at times but his final pass has been found wanting.
West Ham United vs Everton15:38
Everton lost their first four Premier League games this season, conceding 13 goals in the process. However, they’ve lost just one of their subsequent six (W2 D3), with their four goals conceded the fewest of any side in that time. Their backline has improved as the season has gone on, and they've made a decent start here.
West Ham United vs Everton15:37
Half-an-hour gone and West Ham have still not registered a shot. There's been some decent interplay on the edge of the area betweent the likes of Bowen and Paqueta but Everton have still barely been tested defensively.
West Ham United vs Everton15:33
Todibo makes a well-timed clearance to keep out Mykolenko's cross down the left, though the Frenchman still concedes the corner. Lindstrom's delivery is a poor one once again, and West Ham can clear.
West Ham United vs Everton15:32
Neither side have created a quality chance as of yet, with consistent turnovers meaning the game has lacked a real fluency in these opening 25 minutes or so. Everton perhaps shade proceedings but neither have threatened.
West Ham United vs Everton15:30
Summerville fouls Young on the right. Everton are enjoying some sustained possession but struggling to create anything meaningful with it. It's a rather subdued atmosphere at the London Stadium with West Ham providing little for the home supporters to get behind right now.
West Ham United vs Everton15:27
All three of Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Premier League goals against West Ham have come at the London Stadium, with the last two coming in 1-0 wins for Everton. Only against Newcastle (five) has he scored more away goals in the competition than he has at West Ham. The striker would love a goal this afternoon.
West Ham United vs Everton15:26
Ndiaye clumsily fouls Bowen and West Ham have a freekick of their own. The delivery is overhit and Pickford makes an easy claim.
West Ham United vs Everton15:25
Summerville attacks Young down the left before supplying Paqueta on the edge of the box. The Brazilian tries to play it through to the winger but Branthwaite is up to the task, making a key interception and averting the danger. West Ham have seemed to up the tempo in these last few minutes.
West Ham United vs Everton15:23
Antonio has space to run into; he finds Bowen down the right and the winger then play a pass across the face of the penalty area but there's no one in a West Ham shirt to finish off the move. The offside flag is up soon after, but that was the Hammers' first real venture forward in the match.
West Ham United vs Everton15:20
Everton have had five attempts so far, while West Ham have not even had a shot. A positive start from the visitors but they've yet to be rewarded for it.
West Ham United vs Everton15:19
Young wins a free-kick down the right, but Lindstrom's cross is a poor one and West Ham are able to clear their lines. Most of the game is currently being played in the home side's half of the pitch.
West Ham United vs Everton15:16
Ndiaye attacks Wan-Bissaka down the left before cutting inside and getting a shot off but Fabianski is down to make a comfortable save and hold onto it. Dyche's men are just starting to settle into the match and look to have gained the upper hand.
West Ham United vs Everton15:15
West Ham have won five of their last eight Premier League games against Everton (L3), as many as they had in their previous 30 against them (D9 L16). Can the Hammers continue their impressive record today?
West Ham United vs Everton15:13
Wan Bissaka's misjudged slide challenge sees Everton break in numbers. Gueye frees Doucoure in the penalty area but just as he takes the shot, Sommerville launches in to make a vital block. Brilliant defensive work from the winger.
West Ham United vs Everton15:11
It's been a rather cagey opening from both sides, with neither team doing enough to take the early iniative. Considering the form of both, it shouldn't come as a total surprise.
West Ham United vs Everton15:09
The first effort of the match sees Gueye attempt a shot from outside the box, whcih deflects off Mangala but does nothing to trouble Fabianski in the West Ham goal.
West Ham United vs Everton15:07
Everton have lost their last three Premier League away games against London sides by an aggregate score of 12-1. They last lost four in a row in the capital between January and September 2018.
West Ham United vs Everton15:05
Antonio is already in the wars, he's down following a challenge by Mangala in the air. Nevertheless, he looks fine to continue.
West Ham United vs Everton15:04
The home side get us underway at the London Stadium!
West Ham United vs Everton14:59
The players are coming out onto the pitch and kick-off is just moments away!
West Ham United vs Everton14:31
Everton are mostly unchanged from the side that lost to Southampton, but Branthwaite is drafted in at the centre of the defence, replacing Keane. Seamus Coleman remains the only absentee for the Toffees. Despite his performance off the bench last week, Beto is still on the bench with Calvert-Lewin given the nod upfront once again.
West Ham United vs Everton14:31
Mohamed Kudus' suspension was increased to five matches after his sending off against Tottenham, meaning he continues to be missing for the Hammers, while Edson Alvarez is absent after being sent off against Forest last week. Soucek comes back into the side, while Mavropanos drops out. Alphonse Areola and Niclas Fulkrug are both still missing with injuries.

West Ham United vs Everton14:31
Everton themselves are not in the best of form, snatching a draw at home to Fulham a fortnight ago before falling to a poor defeat to relegation-threatened Southampton last week. Patience is starting to run thin with Sean Dyche amongst the Everton faithful, and an away victory will do him and the club the world of good before the final international break of the calendar year. The Toffees currently sit in 16th place, but a victory this afternoon would seem them leapfrog their opponents in the table.
West Ham United vs Everton14:31
The pressure is on manager Julen Lopetegui as the third international break approaches for West Ham. A victory over Manchester United was quickly cancelled out by a dismal 3-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest last week. Despite the outlay in the summer, the Hammers are 14th in the Premier League and six points above the relegation zone. They have won just two of their last nine games in all competitions, but those wins did come in their last two home matches, and Lopetegui must hope for the same this afternoon if the pressure on him is going to be eased.
