Team News & Predicted Lineups
West Ham
West Ham comes into this game off a 3-0 loss against Nottingham Forest but will look to bounce back at home. Key absentees include Edson Alvarez, Mohammed Kudus, and Nicolas Fullkrug due to suspension and injury, respectively.
Predicted Lineup:
Fabianski (GK); Emerson, Mavropanos, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo; Rodríguez, Paqueta, Soler; Bowen, Summerville
Everton
Sean Dyche’s team has recently been unimpressive, especially on the road. Without Timothy Iroegbunam, James Garner, Youssef Chermiti, and Armando Broja, Everton are unlikely to get many chances. However, Abdoulaye Doucoure could return.
Predicted Lineup:
Pickford (GK); Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Mangala, Lindstrom; Calvert-Lewin, McNeil, Ndiaye
Final Thoughts
Given the strong recent home record and a head-to-head advantage, West Ham holds a slight advantage. On the other hand, inconsistency from Everton might prove to be detrimental for them in this match, considering their below-average records when playing away from home.
