West Ham face a game against their former manager David Moyes this weekend as they will make the trip to Goodison Park on Saturday. The Hammers have won two of their last three games, however, they lost their last outing which was a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Monday night.

Everton injury news
Everton will be without five players for the game on Saturday including two key attackers who remain out injured.
Firstly, Orel Mangala is dealing with a long-term knee injury, for which he had surgery in January, he will be out for the rest of the season, looking to return in August.
Midfielder Dwight McNeil remains out with a knee injury, but the West Ham game on Saturday looks to have come too soon for the former Burnley man.
Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will also miss the game, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. He likely won’t return until April after the international break. Manager Moyes said: “The likes of Dwight (McNeil) and Dom (Calvert-Lewin) are forward players who we need back. I don’t think those, at the moment, are really close.”
Iliman Ndiaye is also out with a knee injury. Moyes said: “Iliman is doing much better. He’s not running yet, but he’s certainly improving from his injury.”
Finally, striker Armando Broja has been ruled out too with an ankle injury. He is back in training, but the game at Goodison will come too soon for the former Chelsea man.

Niclas Fullkrug is also injured, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury which has kept him out for a long period this season. Potter said last week: “Niclas has trained with the team. It’s still early in terms of his involvement but it’s positive signs… and now it’s a case of building him up.”
Crysencio Summerville is also out with a hamstring injury, he will likely return after the international break, which comes later in March.
