Overview

• Everton host West Ham on Monday at Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they are unbeaten this season.
• Branthwaite remains sidelined by a hamstring re-injury and has not rejoined full training, with Moyes expecting a return shortly but not yet.
• New signing Merlin Röhl is also unavailable for the fixture, as confirmed in the pre-match press conference.
• Moyes praised Michael Keane’s performances at centre-back, saying the defender has filled in effectively during Branthwaite’s absence.
• Following a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat at Wolves after seven changes, Moyes faced questions over rotation and said he has “nobody knocking on my door” for more minutes, while West Ham are without Tomáš Souček (suspension) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (injury).
