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    That will definitely be rescinded, literally got the ball 😆 😆 😆

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

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 7 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. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      It will be rescinded

      1. Tonyawesome69

        You can't appeal YCs...

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Well that’s just stupid then

      2. NoOneCares
          6 months, 7 days ago

          No

    2. F4L

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

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

      1. Pumpkinhead
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        5 out of 6 games ain't bad

        1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          3 lucky ones though

          1. Pumpkinhead
            • 11 Years
            6 months, 7 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
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Very true...

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

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

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        *does count

      2. NoOneCares
          6 months, 7 days ago

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

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

            1. NoOneCares
                6 months, 7 days ago

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

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  6 months, 7 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
                    6 months, 7 days ago

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

                2. Haa-lala-land
                  • 5 Years
                  6 months, 7 days ago

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

                  1. tutankamun
                    • 16 Years
                    6 months, 7 days ago

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

        • AAAFootball
            6 months, 7 days ago

            KDH banned

            Stupid yc

            Grealish letting me down even after he left Villa

            1. The Night Trunker.
              • 2 Years
              6 months, 7 days ago

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

                • 16 Years

                Would have been with Potter in charge

                  • 2 Years
                  6 months, 7 days ago

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

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

              Must be Liverpool with their leaky defence.

          • Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

          • JT11fc

          • Free Hat
            • 7 Years

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

          • Feanor
            • 16 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

            Dibling looks just like Grealish. Confusing.

            1. The Night Trunker.
              • 2 Years
              6 months, 7 days ago

              It's the dribbling.

          • Roshen
            • 4 Years
            6 months, 7 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

              Same here with 3ft.

              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.

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