The Nuno Espirito Santo era begins for West Ham United tonight as they travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton.
Kick-off on Merseyside is at 20:00 BST.
TEAM NEWS
The new West Ham boss has only made two line-up changes from Graham Potter’s final match in charge, which was a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Callum Wilson drops to the bench, while James Ward-Prowse is not included in the squad at all.
This isn’t due to injury or illness, either: Nuno confirmed ahead of kick-off that it was just a tactical decision.
