After extracting a 1-1 draw against Fulham, Everton faced a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton in the Premier League last week. Their next challenge lies against West Ham United at the London Stadium this weekend.
The Toffees are 16th on the points table, just four points away from the relegation zone. Hence, they would like to collect three points and position themselves in a better situation. Even the Hammers are in a similar sort of situation.
4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup Vs West Ham United
Defence
Jordan Pickford had a mixed performance against Southampton but will be ready to operate between the sticks once again. Right-back Ashley Young could’ve put his experience into impact and will be eager to do the job this time.
While James Tarkowski continues to be deployed at the heart of the defence, Michael Keane is likely to be sent to the bench. Jarrad Branthwaite will undoubtedly replace the latter in the side. No change at the left-back spot as Vitalii Mykolenko continues his work there.
Midfield
Abdoulaye Doucoure should walk into the XI to form the pair with Idrissa Gueye in the middle of the park. It means Orel Mangala will have to serve on the bench.
Attack
Iliman Ndiaye should be operating on the left wing with Jesper Lindstrom taking care of the other side. Dwight McNeil will continue to be deployed as the attacking midfielder in the lineup.
Beto showed an impressive display coming off the bench against Southampton. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin struggling to make any major impact, the former is expected to get a start in this clash.
