The Premier League is back this weekend following last week’s postponement due to the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

This weekend Everton welcome former manager David Moyes and his West Ham side to Goodison Park on Sunday for a now scheduled 2:15pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.

Going into the fixture Everton will have had a full week’s rest due to The Hammers playing on Thursday night last week and with another European fixture this Thursday where they will travel to Denmark, giving Everton a slight fitness advantage.

Last week Frank Lampard confirmed that Dominic Calvert-Lewin had returned back to training and with Everton not playing Arsenal last weekend it may allow the striker to get back to playing and gain some minutes and fitness this weekend.

INJURY NEWS: Everton have taken one key player off the injury list and put another on with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford set to miss out for 4 weeks, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey, Mason Holgate and Abdoulaye Doucoure are all still side-lined for a number of weeks.

West Ham will still be missing Nayef Aguerd for another 6 weeks, Aaron Cresswell may return with a groin/hip injury, but it will be a late decision on whether he is fit to play, Thomas Soucek picked up a knock against Chelsea and may be a doubt, Benjamin Johnson is ruled out with a thigh injury and Maxwel Cornet has a 50% chance of featuring.

PREDICTED LINE-UPS: Everton XI; Begovic, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Onana, Iwobi, Gordon, Gray, Maupay

West Ham XI; Fabianski, Coufal, Kehrer, Zouma, Emerson, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Fornals, Antonio
