Team News:
Everton will be without Arnaut Danjuma who's it out with a calf injury. Andre Gomes and Idrissa Gueye are also sidelined with groin injuries.
Recent Form:
Everton are without a win in nine league games. West Ham hadn’t tasted victory in six of their last seven until they disposed of a struggling Brentford side 4-2 in the capital on Monday.
The Toffees were unlucky not to snatch all three points last time out away to Brighton after a Jarrad Branthwaite strike on the edge of the box was cancelled out by a Lewis Dunk header in injury time.
Sean Dyche's side were however handed a welcome boost on Monday afternoon after it was announced their 10-point deduction for a breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules would be reduced to six following an appeal. The reduction moved them five points clear of relegation zone and into 15th ahead of this weekend.
The Hammers meanwhile sit in eighth following the win over Brentford, one point ahead of Wolves in ninth and level on points with Brighton ahead in seventh.

Prediction:
Everton rank 18th in goals scored per match (1.1 goals), and the combined xG of Everton forwards this season is 16.67 - yet they have totalled just five goals between them so far.
Lead striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn’t scored a goal in 20 games. The Englishman's last did however come in the reverse fixture where he grabbed the winner at the London Stadium to secure a 1-0 away victory over the Hammers.
