Team news, key stats and prediction ahead of West Ham vs Everton in the Premier League on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski could be sidelined for several weeks after a recurrence of a hip injury.
New signing Darren Randolph is set to replace Fabianski, who was previously absent for three months.
Meanwhile, Felipe Anderson, Michail Antonio and Arthur Masuaku are all injury doubts for the clash with Everton.
Everton will be without Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson. Carlo Ancelotti confirmed he will be unable to use Richarlison at the London Stadium due to a twisted knee while Sigurdsson is sidelined with a groin problem.
Centre-back Yerry Mina is fit and available after missing training for the first half of the week. Alex Iwobi (hamstring) will miss out, though Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful he will return to training next week.
Ivory Coast midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin is continuing his rehabilitation following surgery on a thigh injury but Ancelotti has revealed he is "improving fast".

What a cracking game. David Moyes, who I thought would get the Everton job, comes up against his old club once more. I have to be honest; I thought Everton fans were tremendously cruel to Moyes.
He walks in the door at West Ham and everyone wonders how he will get on. He does have to prove a point and keep West Ham alive, but I did the Everton match and they only just deserved to win against Brighton. In the end, they were panicking.
Carlo Ancelotti has picked up a couple of decent results but the scar and embarrassment of losing to Liverpool's schoolboys still lingers. He will want to prove a point to Everton fans and really, he believes he should be back there. It looked as though it should have been his job, but they went with the fabulous Carlo Ancelotti and he is a different man.
West Ham will be aggressive and get in their face. Everton are a talented bunch and they are an inconsistent bunch. I am going for narrow scorelines this weekend, so Jeff Stelling may be worried about the £250,000 jackpot going!
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
