Everton clinched a massive win at home in their last encounter as they defeated one of the so-called Premier League heavyweights in the form of Chelsea by 2-0. The Toffees will look to replicate the result when they take on another London club, West Ham United, in their next match at the London Stadium.
The Hammers, on the other hand, notched up three crucial points with a win against Huddersfield Town in their last encounter. They can expect another tough contest to follow when they take on Everton in their own backyard in the next Premier League match.
Team News
Everton have a few injury worries to deal with ahead of this crucial match. The likes of Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina, Phil Jagielka and Andre Gomes are recovering from their respective injuries and might not be a part of the playing eleven in the next match against West Ham United. However, Marco Silva is expected to field a strong enough side to take on his opposite number, Manuel Pellegrini.
Goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford will start in the goal for the Toffees. The England number one had a great time in the first two matches of the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, conceding just once against Montenegro. He will surely look to carry on his good performance against the Hammers as well.
Defence
With both Yerry Mina and Phil Jagielka doubtful for the next match, Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma are expected to start in the backline for the Toffees in the next game. Seamus Coleman would start in the right-back role while veteran left-back Leighton Baines would put in a shift with Lucas Digne doubtful for the next encounter as well.
Midfield
Idrissa Gueye is expected to be without his partner in the central midfield areas in the form of Andre Gomes and would be pairing up with Morgan Schneiderlin for the next match. Gylfi Sigurdsson would start in the attacking midfielder position ahead of the duo.
Attack
Richarlison, though primarily a left winger, is expected to start as the wide attacker from the right and continue his goalscoring form after sinking Chelsea in the last match at Goodison Park. His compatriot, Bernard, would start on the left in the same role.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has looked good in the last few matches for the Toffees in the role of the striker, would lead the line for the Toffees against the Hammers.
Predicted Formation (4-2-3-1)
