OPINION
West Ham United travel to Goodison Park on Sunday as they look to earn their first points of the Premier League season, and Manuel Pellegrini must make four key changes to his side.
The Hammers entered the international break on the back of a heartbreaking last-minute loss to Wolves which condemned Pellegrini to four straight defeats to start his West Ham reign.
Things do not get any easier with a trip to Everton, who have showed some glimpses of quality under Marco Silva so far, and Pellegrini must get his team selection spot on if he wants to get anything from the game.
In goal, Lukasz Fabianski must start as normal.
In front of him in defence, a back four of Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Fabian Balbuena and Arthur Masuaku must play, with Aaron Cresswell losing his place.
In midfield, the injured Jack Wilshere must be replaced by Pedro Obiang, with Declan Rice coming in for Carlos Sanchez alongside him.
On the wings, Robert Snodgrass must be rewarded for his solid start to the season by retaining his place, with Felipe Anderson playing at number 10 with 6ft 3in dazzler [Transfermarkt] Andriy Yarmolenko handed his first Premier League start on the other flank, meaning Michail Antonio sees the axe.
Up front, Marko Arnautovic obviously must start for the Hammers.
This is a team which gives them good balance in all areas, providing a solid defensive base while retaining a big attacking threat on the flanks and through the middle.
