Preview: Everton vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole looks ahead to David Moyes's final game in charge of Everton at Goodison Park against West Ham United.

An emotional farewell awaits David Moyes this weekend as he takes charge of his final game at Goodison Park before embarking on a new career at Manchester United.

Everton will go head to head with West Ham United in a bid to clinch a top-six place and a spot in next season's Europa League campaign, but the focus will be on the Scottish boss, who has two matches remaining in his 11-year tenure with the Toffees.

Before Moyes kicks off his six-year contract with the Red Devils on July 1, he could hand a European spot to Everton as they currently sit in sixth place, five points ahead of rivals Liverpool.

At the other end of the pitch, the Hammers have all but retained their place in the top flight, but they are likely to remain in 10th place even if they manage to clinch maximum points this weekend.

Moyes is likely to keep Victor Anichebe up front over Nikica Jelavic, who has struggled for form in the second half of the season, while Mark Noble could line the midfield for West Ham, with Andy Carroll up front.

Everton secured a 2-1 victory at Upton Park in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
