Everton will entertain West Ham United at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday.
The home team is one of just two teams without a win in the competition after six games, but they have managed to avoid defeats in their last four games. They held Liverpool to a goalless draw at home in their previous outing and, with four points to their name, they occupy 17th place in the league standings.
The Hammers also have four points to their name but trail the hosts on goal difference. They have just one win to their name this term and suffered a 2-1 defeat against London rivals Chelsea last time around.
However, they have recorded back-to-back wins in the UEFA Europa Conference League and overcame Silkeborg in their away game with a 3-2 win on Thursday.
