Moyes names the same team

|

Unsurprisingly, manager David Moyes has named the same team for the start at Everton as proved victorious over Brentford. Easy decision to make if course! We will be looking for successive wins following the 4-2 win.

Jarrod Bowen got a hat-trick against the Bees taking him to 14 Premier League goals for the season . Another goal today would be his eighth away from home in the Premier League, setting a new record and breaking one set by Trevor Morley in 1993/94 and Paulo Wanchope in 1999/00.

West Ham starting XI at Everton

Lucas Paquetá will hope to extend his winning run to five Premier League matches which he has started. The Brazilian playmaker has only experienced defeat  in his previous nine top-flight appearances either side of the calf injury.

Alphonse Areola starts in goal behind a back four of Vladimír Coufal, Dinos Mavropanos, captain Kurt Zouma and Emerson. The midfield will be anchored by Edson Álvarez, with Tomáš Souček and James Ward-Prowse playing further forward. Paquetá will support Bowen from the left, with Ghana international Mohammed Kudus providing width on the right.

Kalvin Phillips is on the substitutes bench after  a one-match suspension and missed the Brentford game. Liverpool-born Aaron Cresswell returns after missing the same match with a sore Achilles tendon, but Maxwel Cornet remains sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered in training.
