West Ham vs Everton – Predicted lineup and team news

West Ham United aim to secure their top-flight future when they host Everton on Saturday afternoon.

The Hammers have built momentum at a vital time under Nuno Espírito Santo. They are currently unbeaten in five straight league matches at the London Stadium. However, they sit only two points clear of the relegation zone with five games left.

The London Stadium has become a fortress during this late survival push. West Ham have kept two clean sheets in their last three home matches. That said, they have won just three of their last 17 home games against Everton. A victory today would relieve pressure before a tough final-day fixture against Leeds. Nuno will demand a fast start to keep their fate in their own hands.

West Ham team news

Nuno Espírito Santo confirmed he has a fully-fit squad for this weekend’s match. Every player is available for selection following a successful training week at Rush Green. This allows the manager to maintain tactical consistency during a high-pressure run. He has named the same starting eleven for the previous two matches.

Callum Wilson remains a major threat for the Hammers in this fixture. The striker has scored 12 times against his current side in the competition. He also boasts eight goals in his last seven appearances against Everton. Jarrod Bowen will also be vital after scoring in the reverse fixture this season. The England international provides the creative spark needed to unlock David Moyes’ defence.

Mavropanos and Disasi have formed a solid partnership in central defence recently. They helped the team keep back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since January 2024. A third successive shutout would be a major boost for their survival hopes. Wan-Bissaka and Diouf are expected to continue in the full-back positions. In midfield, Soucek and Fernandes will provide the necessary energy and bite.

West Ham must be wary of Everton’s historical dominance in this matchup. The Toffees have won more games against West Ham than any other opponent. However, the Hammers have won two of their last four home meetings with them. Nuno’s side showed strong defensive discipline in their recent draw at Crystal Palace. They must now translate that resilience into an attacking threat at home.
