Everton are playing West Ham United this Sunday at arguably the best time due to their opponents’ miserable start to the season.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men have lost all four of their Premier League fixtures, making them the only club in the division yet to pick up a point.
Everton will feel like they have the advantage as the clash on home soil at Goodison Park, but they have their own problems to deal with.
Marco Silva has a long list of players who are injury doubts for the game, including Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Seamus Coleman, Theo Walcott and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who picked up an injury playing for the England Under-21s on Tuesday night.
In addition, Richarlison is suspended for the match due to the red card that he picked up playing against Bournemouth.
With the injury list in mind – particularly Calvert-Lewin’s recent knock – some Everton fans have called on Silva to take a look at 18-year-old Fraser Hornby.
