Coach Gianfranco Zola is hoping Robert Green will once again demonstrate why he is England's first choice goalkeeper when West Ham look for their second successive home win against Everton.[LNB]Green's penalty save from Ashley Young straight after half-time helped pave the way for a last-minute winner from Zavon Hines as Zola's side beat Aston Villa 2-1 in midweek to lift them out of the bottom three.[LNB]Green will make his 100th successive start for the Hammers against Everton and Zola believes the England goalkeeper is something special.[LNB]"Robert Green gave a really good display against Villa and made one of those saves that will probably be the save of the season," said Zola.[LNB]"I was particularly pleased for him and he is such an important player for us. To see him in such form is good for everybody.[LNB]"He showed again why he is the number one for England with some miracle saves and it says everything about him that he has played 99 games in a row for this club. He is something special."
