Everton are absolutely rampant right now and will be looking to keep that form going tonight against West Ham.
The EFL Cup represents one of two realistic avenues to silverware for Carlo Ancelotti this season.
With Everton not having won a trophy since 1995, that makes tonight’s game important, even if the Italian is likely to make changes.
He has managed to shuffle his pack and maintain momentum so far, but how will he line up against Premier League opposition here?
Jordan Pickford played in goal at Fleetwood and although he made two errors there, he will expect to play again tonight.
Jonjoe Kenny and Niels Nkounkou should deputise at full back, and both have impressed during this EFL Cup run so far.
Everton are short at centre-half, which means Michael Keane is almost certain to play again here.
£18 million (BBC) man Lucas Digne played out of position at centre back at Fleetwood, protecting the fitness of injury-prone Yerry Mina and the 26-year-old Colombian will likely drop to the bench again here.
Fabian Delph played at Fleetwood, but given the increased calibre of opposition here and the Englishman’s lack of fitness, we’ve got Tom Davies in midfield here.
Gylfi Sigurdsson and especially Bernard have taken chances to impress in the EFL Cup, and will likely provide the spark here.
Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will carry the main threats here, and the latter will want to keep on playing and scoring after starting the season on fire.
James Rodriguez will likely get the night off and Alex Iwobi is best-placed to deputise, having scored at Fleetwood.
