Everton welcome West Ham United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday evening in the Premier League.

It is time for Everton to get their season back on track after a run of three games without victory across all competitions.

The early season shine has now worn off on Merseyside, with David Moyes left with questions to answer following two losses on the bounce.

Alan Myers criticised Moyes’ Everton team selection against Wolves in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

However, Simon Jordan has slammed Everton fans’ criticism, suggesting that Moyes should not be questioned for his selection.

Either way, Monday night will offer the Toffees with a huge opportunity against another struggling outfit, leaving an interesting team selection ahead of the 62-year-old.

Vitaliy Mykolenko makes return from injury

Tuesday evening’s loss against Wolves saw 36-year-old Seamus Coleman start the game at left-back.

Injuries have been a big issue for Everton in the early stages of this season, with Vitaliy Mykolenko missing weeks through an injury issue.

However, Moyes has claimed that Mykolenko is now edging closer to a return after progression behind the scenes at Finch Farm.

“Look, they [Branthwaite and Mykolenko] are making progress and we’ll see. We’ve got a couple of other knocks within the camp but we’ll see how they are,” he said last week.

James Garner impressed at left-back whilst covering for the Ukraine international, but Mykolenko’s potential return will be much welcomed.

David Moyes left with striker headache at Everton

Earlier in the summer, Moyes said he was disappointed with Beto, and the striker has since struggled to nail down his spot in the starting XI.

Moyes is chopping and changing up front, but he is struggling to find his answer.

Thierno Barry started against Wolves, but the youngster was not able to offer much of a goal threat and was dragged off at half time.

• 45 minutes played
• 0 shots on target
• 14 touches
• 3/5 accurate passes
• 6x lost possession

Beto is potentially seen as the safer choice by Moyes, given he has opened his account this season, but the pair of strikers both have a lot still to prove to their manager.

Jack Grealish instantly returns to Everton starting XI

Jack Grealish was rested on Tuesday evening, with the 30-year-old coming off the bench for the final 30 minutes at Molineux.

After taking to the pitch, Grealish changed the game for Everton, who had been struggling against a poor Wolves side.

It is obvious that Grealish will return to the starting XI against West Ham, but his importance was only highlighted on Tuesday evening.

Everton need to get back to winning ways and having Grealish on the pitch is currently their best way of getting back to securing a victory.

Predicted Everton XI vs West Ham: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto.
