Everton v West Ham United

TEAM NEWS

Richarlison is available for Everton after missing the win at Sheffield United because of concussion protocols.

West Ham manager David Moyes has a near fully-fit squad as he seeks a first win at Goodison Park since leaving Everton in 2013.

The only confirmed absentee is Arthur Masuaku, who recently had knee surgery.
