It’s a true relegation six-pointer this afternoon as West Ham host Everton in a huge Premier League clash at the London Stadium. The sides both sit in the bottom three as it stands, but victory for either here could prove to be a turning point in the season.
Reports suggest David Moyes could be sacked if West Ham fall to a seventh defeat in eight League matches, with the club’s summer of big-spending having far from the desired impact. Danny Ings’ move to the Hammers was confirmed on Friday, and he is in line to come straight in for a debut.
Everton are also winless in the League since the World Cup and the pressure continues to build on Frank Lampard too. The Toffees did though recently pick up a point at Manchester City, and they need another big away-day result here. Follow all the action below with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog, featuring expert analysis from Malik Ouzia at the ground.

West Ham team news
David Moyes must decide whether to hand Danny Ings an immediate West Ham debut.
Moyes’ tendency has been to take a cautious approach with new signings, but with Gianluca Scamacca ruled out with a knee injury, the Scot has to choose between Ings and the misfiring Michail Antonio to lead the line against the Toffees.
Elsewhere, Kurt Zouma could make his first start since before the World Cup after returning to the squad for last weekend’s defeat at Wolves.
Said Benrahma is also pushing to start having been left on the bench at Molineux despite scoring the winner in the previous week’s FA Cup victory over Brentford.
Predicted West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek, Paqueta; Benrahma, Ings, Bowen.
