Bowen’s back

Jarrod Bowen has returned to the West Ham team for the clash with Everton on Sunday.

The Hammers winger has been out since injuring his ankle against Liverpool but now returns for the game against the blue half of Merseyside.

Bowen had been in electric form prior to his injury, scoring eight goals and registering 10 assists in 28 games, and appeared on the verge of an England call-up, although his injury scotched that.

David Moyes has restored him to the starting XI, while Vlad Coufal is also back in the squad, although he is named among the substitutes.

The rest of the team has a familiar look, with Lukasz Fabianski in goal, Ryan Fredericks, Craig Dawson, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell making up the back four, Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek anchoring the midfield, and Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma joining Bowen in providing support to Mikey Antonio.

Full West Ham XI: Fabianski; Fredericks, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma; Antonio. Subs: Areola, Alese, Diop, Coufal, Masuaku, Noble, Kral, Yarmolenko, Vlasic. 

Full Everton XI: Pickford; Kenny, Godfrey, Keane, Mykolenko; Van de Beek, Doucoure; Gray, Iwobi, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Branthwaite, Price, Gordon, El Ghazi, Dele, Dobbin, Rondon.
