West Ham play host to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Manuel Pellegrini the head coach

West Ham are in desperate need of a victory against Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday, and Manuel Pellegrini has a few injury problems to contend with.

The Merseyside outfit, meanwhile, are in need of a victory themselves, with the final Europa League qualifying spot still up for grabs.

Long-term absentees Andriy Yarmolenko, Carlos Sanchez, Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll remained sidelined, whilst Samir Nasri is a doubt with a slight calf problem.

The east London outfit should take the game to the Toffees, and will be expected to set the tempo, given the fact that they are the home side.

With that in mind, Pellegrini should opt for four attacking midfielders to support Javier Hernandez in attack.

Marko Arnautovic quite simply hasn’t been anywhere near his best recently, and it may be time for Pellegrini to relegate the Austrian to the bench.

Ryan Fredericks should come back in for Pablo Zabaleta, whilst Robert Snodgrass might be recalled in place of Michail Antonio.

Here’s how we think West Ham will line-up against Everton on Saturday…
