Everton were beaten by bitter rivals Liverpool in the Merseyside derby in their last outing, with Mohamed Salah scoring twice in a 2-0 win for the Reds. The Toffees had won two of their previous three league games before losing at Anfield, with impressive wins over Brentford and Bournemouth coming either side of a 2-1 defeat against Luton. Their recent upturn in results was required, with Everton collecting just one point from their first five games. Sean Dyche's side are just two places and two points above the relegation zone.

West Ham return to Premier League action after losing to Olympiakos in the Europa League during the week. David Moyes’ men started the season strongly and collected three wins and one draw in their opening four games, with their victory against Luton Town propelling them to the top of the table. However, the Hammers have only triumphed in one of their last five games, losing three times. They lost 4-1 to Aston Villa in their previous league outing and have dropped down to ninth position. However, West Ham will be confident that they can return to winning ways against Everton as they have won four of their last six league matches against them.
