Top 11 | Antonio and Souček return to face Everton

So Łukasz Fabiański continued in goal, making his 185th Premier League appearance for the club. No Pole, who played a total of 366 Premier League games for Arsenal, Swansea City and West Ham, could do more than our 39-year-old centre-back.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka fills the right-back position, Emerson the left-back position, and Jean-Clair Todibo and Maximilian Kilman fill the centre-back positions.

Guido Rodríguez will strengthen the midfield and continue his record of starting every Premier League match since his summer transfer from Real Betis.

Czech giant Souček returned to the Argentine national team and played for West Ham for the 156th time in the Premier League. The 29-year-old has previously scored twice in senior wins against the Blues; A 1-0 win at Goodision Park on New Year’s Day 2021 and a 3-1 win on Merseyside in March this year.

Lucas Paquetá will provide flair and creativity as he makes 100 appearances for the Hammers. Today will be his 97th appearance since his transfer from Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2022.

Captain Jarrod Bowen will try to score his fourth goal of the season on the right wing, while Crysencio Summerville will try to score his second goal in consecutive home games from his position on the left wing.

Antonio had seven previous wins against Everton as a West Ham player and also scored in last season’s dramatic 3-1 win at Goodison Park.

The bench will include Scarlets, Mavropanos, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, full-backs Vladimír Coufal and Aaron Cresswell, midfielders Carlos Soler and Andy Irving, winger Luis Guilherme and forward Danny Ings.
