The Nuno Espirito Santo era begins for West Ham United tonight as they travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton.

Kick-off on Merseyside is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

The new West Ham boss has only made two line-up changes from Graham Potter’s final match in charge, which was a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

Callum Wilson drops to the bench, while James Ward-Prowse is not included in the squad at all.

This isn’t due to injury or illness, either: Nuno confirmed ahead of kick-off that it was just a tactical decision.

Coming into the Hammers’ side are summer signing Soungoutou Magassa and striker Niclas Fullkrug.

David Moyes, meanwhile, reverts back to the starting XI that featured in the Merseyside derby in Gameweek 5.

He had rotated seven of his team out in the midweek EFL Cup loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Garner, Gueye, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Beto.

Subs: Travers, Patterson, McNeil, Barry, Dibling, Coleman, Alcaraz, Aznou, Iroegbunam.

West Ham XI: Areola, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf, Magassa, Fernandes, Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville, Fullkrug.

Subs: Hermansen, Julio, Wilson, Guilherme, Rodriguez, Scarles, Potts, Irving, Marshall.

    That will definitely be rescinded, literally got the ball 😆 😆 😆

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years

      Can’t rescind yellows unless for mistaken identity or (not) diving.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        Other player dived if that counts haha

  3. Bigbars

    KDH did a fair challenge.. annoyed VAr cant step in for yellows as that was wrong and I'll miss him against CP

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      It will be rescinded

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        You can't appeal YCs...

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 22 days ago

          Well that’s just stupid then

      2. NoOneCares
        9 months, 22 days ago

        No

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    those last 2 yellows for kdh were a joke though tbh. can see why hes so frustrated

  5. G-Whizz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    But but but they said Tarkowski is a DEFCON monster...

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      5 out of 6 games ain't bad

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        3 lucky ones though

        1. Pumpkinhead
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 22 days ago

          If you don't think he's a good option that's fine but what's lucky about 10,11,11,14,15 defcon? He's 4th in the league in total defcons as well.

      2. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        Very true...

  6. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Quite happy if ban doesn’t count as solves my benching dilemma next week lol

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      *does count

    2. NoOneCares
      9 months, 22 days ago

      Why would a ban not count? Of course it counts.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        They sometimes rescind cards after the match, happened loads of times

        1. NoOneCares
          9 months, 22 days ago

          Rescinding a yellow card rarely happens, so no it doesn't happen loads of times.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            9 months, 22 days ago

            My mistake putting red cards in the same treatment as yellow cards for appeals

            (Why there would be different treatment for them for rescinding I have no idea…)

            1. tutankamun
              • 16 Years
              9 months, 22 days ago

              It would be a bureaucratic nightmare considering the amount of yellows given compared to reds.

          2. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            9 months, 22 days ago

            Which is it? "Of course it counts" or is it now "rarely"?

            1. tutankamun
              • 16 Years
              9 months, 22 days ago

              They can only rescind for mistaken identity or if you have been deemed not to dive.

  7. AAAFootball
    • 1 Year
    9 months, 22 days ago

    KDH banned

    Stupid yc

  8. g40steve

      Give him time for a refill at the Oktoberfest.

  9. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Grealish letting me down even after he left Villa

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      Thought this was a perfect game for him.
      He can fruit off.

      1. Feanor
        • 17 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        Would have been with Potter in charge

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          9 months, 22 days ago

          If only I'd known but they did in in a scullerous way.

      2. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        Agree. I was excited to watch this one. What a let down.

  10. AC/DC AFC

    Those holding TC

    Henry reckons Haaland will try the double hat trick sometime

      Must be Liverpool with their leaky defence.

  11. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Senesi officially the only player to hit defcon 6/6 times

  12. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Think I need a bit of Diouf in my life

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      Brave...

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        9 months, 22 days ago

        or stupid... nothing like a manager bounce, still holding my United assets....

  13. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Grealish not getting a yc for moaning is considered as a win ...

  14. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Dibling looks just like Grealish. Confusing.

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      It's the dribbling.

  15. Roshen
    • 4 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Have 3 FT, would you consider this move?

    Sanchez, Virgil, JP -> Pope, Andersen, Gyökeres

    That will give me this team:
    Pope – Dubravka
    Senesi – Guehi – Andersen – van de Ven – Gudmundsson
    Salah – Semenyo – Kudus – Reijnders – King
    Haaland – Gyökeres – Mateta

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      Same here with 3ft.
      I’ll lock in my moves on Friday

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Forest are hopefully going to regret binning Nuno!
    Great point for them

  17. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Well Ndiaye is out of my team for Sarr I think.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

    2. Assisting the assister

    • 11 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    With KDH missing out next week who would you start?

    A) King away to BOU
    B) Munoz away to EVE

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      B for sure

    2. Punned It

    6. Pumpkinhead

  22. JohnnyCroat
    • 11 Years

  23. #1 Arne Engels Fan
    • 1 Year
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Perfect result for ARS assets next GW then. WHU will be naively thinking they're better than what they are (still rubbish) and end up getting battered.

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    8 points from 6 mids/attackers aside from hauland. ugh, so crap 😆

    1. JT11fc

    9 months, 22 days ago

    Who to ship, Gakpo, Grealish, Porro? £2.1m ITB, 1FT

    Want Sarr back in the team.

    Raya (Dub)
    Diakite Porro Guehi (Rodon Alderete)
    Bruno Semenyo Gakpo Grealish (King)
    Haaland Pedro Gyokeres

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      It's got to be Gakpo or Porro.

  26. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Everton’s next 2 games
    Palace at home no KDH
    Man City away no Grealish (on loan)

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      Think I might sell him but I still love his sexy calfs.

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 22 days ago

      And there's only 3 good fixtures in the next 11 for Everton.

  27. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 months, 22 days ago

    Happy with the left field Garner pick and thanks for the 7 points.

    1. The Night Trunker.
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 22 days ago

      That's a win sir.
      Noice.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 22 days ago

          Opta have recalculated the data and FPL probably pushing through the updates after the game

  30. Ribus
