West Ham Prepares for Crucial Clash with Everton in Premier League

West Ham faces a critical Premier League challenge this Saturday, April 25, 2026, as Everton visits the London Stadium for an essential matchup. Currently sitting in 17th place, the Hammers understand that anything less than a win could push them into the relegation zone, especially if Tottenham secures a result against Wolves.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad comes into the match following a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, a gritty point that keeps them two points clear of Spurs with only four games remaining. Fortunately for the home supporters, West Ham has not lost to Everton in their last five encounters across all competitions, a trend that should offer a much-needed confidence boost ahead of kickoff.

West Ham United’s Predicted Starting Lineup Against Everton:

Defence:

Nuno is expected to maintain a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Mads Hermansen starting in goal as Lukasz Fabianski remains unavailable. Kyle Walker-Peters is likely to retain his position at right-back, having consistently performed well lately.

The only significant decision for Nuno appears to be between Walker-Peters and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. In central defence, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Axel Disasi will team up to provide aerial strength and effective distribution. Malick Diouf will complete the back four on the left side. The group is in good spirits after achieving back-to-back Premier League clean sheets for the first time in over a year.
