Everton host West Ham United in the Premier League today.

Everton are seeking to end a run of four defeats in a row, with Marco Silva under huge pressure to arrest this slide in form.

Jordan Pickford starts in goal as usual, but with Seamus Coleman out of action, Djibril Sidibe comes into the back four at right back.

Yerry Mina and Michael Keane continue at centre back, with Lucas Digne on the left, whilst Andre Gomes partners Tom Davies in midfield.

Theo Walcott and Bernard start out wide, with Alex Iwobi given the nod at number 10, operating behind Richarlison in the Everton attack.

That means Gylfi Sigurdsson has been benched after a disappointing start to the season, whilst midfield injuries mean Beni Baningime is also a substitute.

They’re joined by Jonas Lossl, Mason Holgate, Leighton Baines, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moise Kean.

Meanwhile, West Ham stick with Roberto Jimenez in goal with Lukasz Fabianski out injured, whilst Arthur Masuaku comes in for Aaron Cresswell at left back.

Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna make up the rest of the back four, with Declan Rice and Mark Noble as the holding midfielders.

Winger Andriy Yarmolenko is oddly dropped to the bench, with Pablo Fornals coming in alongside Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson behind Sebastien Haller.

David Martin, Fabian Balbuena, Pablo Zabaleta, Jack Wilshere, Robert Snodgrass and Albian Ajeti all join Yarmolenko on the bench.
