West Ham vs Everton EPL Projected Lineups include Nolan and Naismith

West Ham started their season off with a strong victory over Cardiff City with their new additions from the last two transfer windows getting things off to the right start. However, injuries to key players such as Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Joe Cole have seen the club hampered as of late as their struggle to build their offense around their summer marquee signing's of Carroll and Downing. 


Everton on the other hand continue to only look stronger every week under Roberto Martinez as his Toffees share the undefeated status of the Premier League with neighboring rivals Liverpool and know one else. After three straight draws and the sell of Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United, the club managed to upset Chelsea at home to remain unbeaten and earn their first victory of the year as Martinez continues to send out the right players week after week.

 Romelu Lukaku joined the Toffees on loan from Chelsea on deadline day and while many believe he may make his debut against the Hammers he is expected to do so in the second half as there is unlikely to be any change to the side that started against Chelsea. 

West Ham have been strong in the air so far this season, but other than that they have failed to truly build a cohesive style so far this season while Everton look stronger every week. 

Whether it be set pieces or open play the Toffees look more set for this to be their match to lose. However, the Hammers are good when protecting a lead and if they can get ahead early Everton has been poor at putting away chances at times and this could come back to haunt them at Upton Park this weekend.
