The Hammers head to Goodison Park for the final time and meet their former manager, who is riding the crest of a wave with Merseyside club after making a remarkable impact upon his return.
Graham Potter’s side are 16th in the [Premier League table](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league-2024-2025-standings-fixtures-results-matchday-28-b1200496.html) and level on points with Everton, although a win could propel them up to 13th and above both Manchester United and Tottenham – albeit perhaps only temporarily.
Evan Ferguson is another option too as Potter looks to give his side an attacking edge.
The Irons boss will need to provide an update on Vladimir Coufal at his pre-match press conference later this week, with the defender having sat out the Newcastle game despite returning to training following a thigh problem.
Crysencio Summerville isn’t expected back until after the international break later this month, while Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug are long-term absentees.
Fullkrug has trained with his teammates but it seems unlikely West Ham will rush him back into action.
**West Ham predicted XI**: Areola; Todibo, Kilman, Cresswell; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Scales, Bowen, Ferguson
**Injured**: Fullkrug, Antonio, Summerville
**Time and date**: 3pm GMT on Saturday 15 March, 2025
**Venue**: Goodison Park, Liverpool
**TV channel and live stream**: Not available in the UK
