    Team news

    For the encounter with 10th-placed West Ham - and former boss David Moyes - Everton have Richarlison back available after he missed the Boxing Day win at Sheffield United under concussion protocol, but James Rodriguez (calf) remains sidelined.

    While Lucas Digne is not yet ready to return to action, pictures of the full-back doing individual training appeared on Everton's official Twitter feed on Thursday along with the words "working his way back to full fitness".

    On Wednesday Carlo Ancelotti had said of the Frenchman, who had ankle surgery in late November: "We have good news on Lucas Digne, that he is starting individual sessions and maybe in one week, 10 days, he will be able to train with the team."

    West Ham boss Moyes must decide whether to risk Michail Antonio from the start. Antonio came off the bench in the goalless draw at Southampton after a month out with a hamstring injury.

    Fabian Balbuena will be assessed after missing out at St Mary's while Arthur Masuaku is sidelined following knee surgery.
