Predicted West Ham XI vs Everton: Moyes to make one change, 24-yr-old to start
West Ham United host Everton in the Premier League later today and will be hoping to close in on the top four with a win. The Hammers beat Burnley 2-1 in their last Premier League outing and should be confident of following up against the Toffees. The Hammers battled to a narrow win at Goodison Park earlier in the season and are favourites to complete the double at the London Stadium. The visitors head into this game on the back of just one win in six league games, and Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure to turn his side’s form around. Despite their recent run of results, the Toffees have generally been hard to beat on their travels this season. They are currently undefeated in 11 of the last 12 games on the road and they have an excellent away record against the Hammers. West Ham have faile...
