Injury Expert shares West Ham United team news v Everton
West Ham United are set to be without just one first-team player for their Premier League clash against Everton on Sunday 29 October, according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.
The injury expert shared on his website Premier Injuries that Hammers left-back Emerson is the only player ruled out of Sunday’s clash at the London Stadium due to suspension, after five yellow cards picked up.
Vladimir Coufal is the only injury doubt with muscle tightness and Dinnery places the Czech international’s fitness status at 75%. Other than that, David Moyes has a fully fit squad to choose from when he takes on his former club on Sunday.
Difficult test
Everton will certainly feel hard done by after their defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday (21 October) having to play large parts of the game with ten men after Young’s sending-off and the fact that Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate didn’t get his own two yellows in a controversial decision from Craig Dawson.
Dyche will have been reeling after that match and felt his team had no sort of luck for the game. However, they will have to pick themselves up again because West Ham at the London Stadium is yet another difficult encounter.
And the Toffees may well be meeting the Hammers at a bad time, fresh off their disappointing 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday and a midweek Europa League defeat at Olympiacos on Thursday evening so Dyche won’t know which West Ham team he will be facing on Sunday.
All the Toffees boss can do is prepare as he’ll usually do for any game and hope that his players perform his plan right down to the letter for all of 90 minutes.
The Toffees last tasted victory in East London in May 2021 when Dominic Calvert-Lewin grabbed the only goal in a crucial 1-0 win under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti and how Dyche could do with that sort of victory this time around.
