West Ham United are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Alphonse Areola will be in the goals for the Hammers and will have Vladimir Coufal, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Kurt Zouma and Emerson in front of him in defence. Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez will be the two holding midfielders. Mohammed Kudus, James Ward-Prowse and Lucas Paqueta will be the three attacking midfielders. Jarrod Bowen will lead the line for the London club.

Despite being the visiting team, West Ham should be able to get the job done against Everton.
