“Moyes’ Jaw-Dropping Blunder in Everton vs West Ham Clash Will Leave You Speechless!”

Everton head into their clash with West Ham United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 29 September with the chance to write themselves into the history books.

If they manage to keep a clean sheet, the Toffees would become only the third team in Premier League history to avoid conceding in their opening three fixtures at a brand-new ground.

David Moyes will believe his side are capable of doing exactly that, especially considering West Ham’s recent poor run of form.

However, the arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo as the Hammers’ new manager could inject life into the Londoners, with the Portuguese coach determined to start his reign in style after replacing Graham Potter.

For Everton, Moyes has had some difficult decisions to make with Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl unavailable.

Despite calls for change, he has opted to stick with the same defensive unit that suffered defeat in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.

Jordan Pickford remains in goal, with Jake O’Brien, Michael Keane, and Vitalii Mykolenko forming the backline alongside James Tarkowski.

In midfield, James Garner and Idrissa Gueye sit deep to provide stability, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall continues in the advanced playmaker role.

Out wide, Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye will look to provide creativity and pace, with Beto again leading the line.

This means Thierno Barry, who featured against Wolves in the Carabao Cup, finds himself overlooked once more for a league fixture.

Securing three points against West Ham feels crucial for Everton, particularly given the uncertainty and unrest surrounding their opponents.

Moyes has historically enjoyed success against Nuno, winning four of their seven previous encounters.

Nuno, by contrast, has lost four of his last five games against Everton, with his only victory being a 2-0 triumph at Goodison Park last season.

Even so, Everton cannot afford complacency. They come into this contest without a win in three matches across all competitions, including a disappointing Carabao Cup exit to Wolves that has placed added pressure on Moyes.

The manager’s decision to persist with Beto instead of Barry could prove costly if the Portuguese striker continues to struggle in front of goal, while the French youngster waits for his breakthrough moment in English football.

Nonetheless, both Moyes and the Everton faithful will hope that continuity pays off, and that this fixture provides the platform to spark a much-needed return to winning ways.

Everton XI vs West Ham: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto.
