West Ham United head into a crucial Premier League clash fighting to stay above the relegation zone after picking up a hard-earned point in a goalless draw with Crystal Palace. That result, combined with a convincing win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, has at least given them some defensive stability at a critical stage of the season.
Everton arrive with their own mixed momentum, having recently suffered heartbreak as Liverpool secured a dramatic 2–1 victory in the Merseyside Derby.
That followed another frustrating outing where Everton surrendered control late in a 2–2 draw against Brentford, sparking strong reactions from fans. Everton posted highlights of this match to show how relentless they are heading into the next game.

Team News
West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed a fully fit squad ahead of this encounter, giving him the luxury of selection stability. However, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is pushing for a start at right-back, which could see a slight defensive reshuffle. Jarrod Bowen remains key in attack, supported by January additions Valentin Castellanos and Pablo Felipe.
Everton will be without Jarrad Branthwaite for the remainder of the season after his recent injury, while Jack Grealish is also sidelined. Beto, who has been in strong scoring form, is expected to be available despite a recent head knock. Michael Keane is likely to step into defence alongside James Tarkowski, with the midfield trio remaining unchanged.
Possible Lineups
West Ham United: Hermansen; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf; Bowen, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville; Pablo; Castellanos
Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto
