Overview
- Kickoff is 8:00 p.m. BST at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with live coverage on Sky Sports in the UK and on USA Network/Fubo in the U.S.
- West Ham sacked Graham Potter on Saturday and swiftly appointed Nuno Espírito Santo, their fourth manager in roughly 16 months.
- Tomáš Souček is suspended and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is unavailable for West Ham, and Nuno has had just two training sessions with the squad.
- Everton remain unbeaten and yet to concede at their new ground but are without Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Röhl, with Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye expected to feature.
- Pundits and bookmakers lean toward an Everton win, with predictions such as 2-0 from Chris Sutton following West Ham’s poor start and defensive frailties, including multiple goals conceded from corners.
