Everton faces West Ham today at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton’s new home in Liverpool, in a matchup full of intrigue.
West Ham enters in turmoil after sacking Graham Potter over the weekend, with Nuno Espírito Santo stepping in for his first game in charge.
Everton, meanwhile, is aiming to recover from a midweek Carabao Cup exit and has yet to concede a goal at their new ground, though they’ll be without Jarrad Branthwaite (thigh) and Merlin Röhl (groin). Jordan Pickford anchors Everton between the posts as they continue their defensive record at Hill Dickinson. Jack Grealish will again be their main creative outlet.
West Ham, win-starved and missing suspended midfielder Tomáš Souček, could benefit from the lift that often comes with a managerial change. Jarrod Bowen, one of West Ham’s most influential forwards, will be heavily relied upon as Nuno’s attack looks for spark.
Nuno is expected to simplify things tactically and lean on Niclas Füllkrug to lead the attack, with Callum Wilson an option off the bench.
Starting Lineups
Everton Starting XI
Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski (c), Keane, Mykolenko; Gana, Garner, Ndiaye; Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto
Subs: Travers, Patterson, McNeil, Barry, Dibling, Coleman, Alcaraz, Aznou, Iroegbunam
West Ham United Starting XI
Areola; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Magassa, Fernandes, Paquetá; Bowen (c), Summerville, Füllkrug

Head-to-Head
West Ham is unbeaten in the last three meetings between the clubs, including a 1–1 draw in March. Everton will be eager to flip that script with the added boost of their new home ground.
Prediction
This looks like a low-scoring contest with Everton’s home form giving them a narrow edge. West Ham could show early fight under Nuno, but breaking Everton down in Liverpool will be a tall order.
Projected Score: Everton 1, West Ham 0
