Match Preview
Gianfranco Zola's West Ham United travel north to Merseyside in desperate need of points with the Hammers dangling perilously close to the drop zone.
However, coming away from Goodison Park with any kind of points will prove yet another big challenge for the east Londoners.
The Toffees have won their last seven league games at home, conceding just three goals in the process and never shipping more than one in a game during this run.
While Zola and company try to dodge the drop, David Moyes' men are chasing a Europa League spot and the Toffeeman have been in good form recently, losing just twice in their last 18 Premier League matches, both away from home.
A key factor in their recent revival has been the return of their Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta.
With the gifted schemer in the side, they have won 67 per cent of their league games as opposed to just 30 per cent when he has been missing.
The Hammers season, on the other hand, is in crisis. They have lost their last six games in a row and have not won away from home since the opening day of the season when they defeated Wolves 2-0 at Molineux.
Zola has been under intense pressure following the Hammers recent struggles but he has committed himself to the fight for survival and is optimistic of a result at Goodison.
Zola said: "We will go to Everton determined to get a result. People might not expect us to get something from the match but we will be positive. No one should write us off.
"Although we are in a serious position we have time to sort things out and be in control of our destiny at the end of the season."
"I know the fans will once again get behind us starting with Everton and we will give everything to reward their support. They have been brilliant and we owe them."
Despite the chase for European berths heating up, Everton's Tim Cahill, in time-honoured tradition, is taking it just one game at a time.
Cahill said: "I don't worry about Liverpool, what we're doing is the thing to concentrate on. We've got a big game against West Ham coming up, probably one of the biggest of the season.
"We know how important it is. We want to exploit their poor form and not kick-start their season again. We want to try and do something special at the end of the season."
West Ham's season has been blighted by injuries and there are doubts over a number of players for this game with James Tomkins, Kieron Dyer, Jack Collison and Herita Ilunga all out with niggles.
Match Report
Brazilian striker Ilan grabbed a last-gasp equaliser to help West Ham secure a dramatic 2-2 draw at Everton and breathe new life into their Premier League survival battle.
With relegation rivals Hull, Burnley and Wigan all losing over the Easter weekend, the stage was set for the Hammers to boost their hopes of avoiding the drop on Merseyside.
Manuel Da Costa equalised Diniyar Bilyaletdinov's first-half header on the hour mark only for substitute Yakubu to put Everton ahead again with five minutes to go.
But sub Ilan flashed home Julien Faubert's cross to end West Ham's run of six successive defeats and relieve some pressure on under-fire boss Gianfranco Zola.
Without a win in their last 15 games, West Ham's hopes of ending that run at Goodison Park suffered a huge dent when Jonathan Spector's poor defensive header was punished heavily by Bilyaletdinov.
Spector headed Leighton Baines' cross straight up in the air and Tim Cahill nodded the ball back across the six-yard box for the diminutive Russian to put the Toffees in front on 24 minutes.
January signing Mido should have levelled for Zola's Hammers six minutes before break after Sylvain Distin felled leading scorer Carlton Cole in the box.
But the Egypt international's weak penalty was tipped around the post by Tim Howard, diving low to his right as Everton lead at the break.
The Hammers flew out of the traps in the second half and almost got back on level terms when Mark Noble clipped the ball over Howard, only to see it rebound back off the crossbar.
But Everton failed to heed the warning and within 30 seconds Da Costa bundled home Noble's corner to score his second goal for the club and drag the visitors level.
Boss David Moyes responded by throwing on Yakubu and it was the Nigerian who looked to have won it for Everton by heading home Baines' cross, before Ilan snatched a dramatic second equaliser.
