Alphonse Areola has been the club’s first-choice goalkeeper since the beginning of last season but was dropped after his part in an own goal against Tottenham three weeks ago and was then left out of the squad for last weekend’s 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest due to a minor knock.

In a major blow to manager Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers will be without two key first-team stars for the clash with Everton due to suspension. Mohammed Kudus has seen his three-game ban extended by a further two games for violent conduct, while Alvarez must sit the next two games out as a result of his two yellow cards last time out.

Everton - Doucoure and Ndiaye have recovered from their knocks but McNeil is out. Dyche finally reinstates Branthwaite to the XI, but keeps Calvert-Lewin in over Beto West Ham - Lopetegui will have plenty of pace out wide with Summerville getting the start.
