Premier League Preview: West Ham - Everton
Sam Allardyce's side has drawn four and lost four in a poor run against the visitors and will be looking to capitalize on a squad without the suspended Marouane Fellaini.
By Michael Lightfoot
| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
WEST HAM UNITED
 Jaaskelainen Demel, Collins, Reid, O'Brien O'Neil, Noble Taylor, Nolan, Jarvis Cole |
EVERTON
 Howard Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines Naismith, Hitzlsperger, Gibson, Pienaar Osman Jelavic |
West Ham will have to make a few changes as it will be without Mohamed Diame (hamstring), Alou Diarra (thigh), George McCartney (knee) and Ricardo Vaz Te (shoulder).
Yossi Benayoun and Jack Collison (both knee) could both return to the squad after recovering in time for this match, but Sam Allardyce may go with an unchanged lineup from their goalless draw against West Brom.
For Everton, Marouane Fellaini starts his three-match suspension for headbutting Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross. Thomas Hitzlsperger could deputize in his absence with Leon Osman moving into a more advanced role.
David Moyes will also be without Victor Anichebe and Kevin Mirallas (both hamstring), Tony Hibbert (calf) and Phil Neville (knee).
