All square in the Moyes derby

Everton 1 West Ham 1

It's a nervous afternoon in front of BBC Sport's live updates for the Moyes derby, with Everton unbeaten in eight games after the Moyesiah took over. Paqueta comes back into the WHU side along with the Greek Bloke and Emerson.

West Ham have a couple of good chances the first half. A typically accurate Ward-Prowse corner sees Branthwaite head towards his own goal and Pickford produce a brilliant reaction save to keep it out. Then Max Kilman, liberated in a back five, races down the left to cross for Jarrod Bowen, who spins and hits a fine volley slightly too close to PIckford.

The impressive O'Brien fires a firm shot straight at Areola. Then Everton are awarded a penalty before VAR very correctly overrules it. Beto has actually kicked the turf rather than been fouled by the Greek Bloke. 

The Hammers step it up in the second half and take the lead after 67 minutes. Emerson and Paqueta combine to set Bowen free on the left. His cross is controlled by Tomas Soucek, who gets the ball out from under his feet really well and curls a slow shot into the corner. Tomas does his rotating helicopter blades celebration in front of the away fans. It's fitting that the ultimate Moyes player, good in both boxes, should have scored.

Another break sees Bowen shoot at Pickford and Ward-Prowse nearly get on the end of the rebound. But the game changes when Moyes brings on three subs, including two extra strikers. 

Everton start to bombard the West Ham box as West Ham drop deep. In the 91st minute Areola parries Chermiti's shot, and in the next phase Alacaraz plays it wide to Gueye. He curls in ab inviting cross and O'Brien has got just ahead of Mavropanos to head home.

The Toffees nearly win it when the ball goes through the Greek Bloke's legs and Alcaraz shoots just wide of the post. It's disappointing to have lost the lead but it's still a decent away point as Everton extend their unbeaten run to nine games.

"We should be good enough to avoid relegation," muses Matt on WhatsApp, though I have to point out that if Leicester or Ipswich win their next six games and we lose all ours they would be above us. Though at the risk of jinxing the Irons I'll predict that 34 points should be enough to see us safe. 

At least we're looking competitive again under Potter and no longer shipping endless goals. Both teams will be fairly happy with a point and looking ahead to building for next season.
