Everton vs West Ham team news: Reece Oxford starts in defence, John Stones returns for hosts
Roberto Martinez and Slaven Bilic each make one change to their line-up
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has selected teenager Reece Oxford to play at centre-back.
The youngster replaces the injured James Collins and is the only change from the side which put in an impressive performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in midweek.
Wednesday night’s goalscorer Michail Antonio, who has scored four in his last seven, starts once again.

John Stones makes his first start since the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg defeat at Manchester City and comes into the team for Gareth Barry, who drops to the bench.
