Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to appear in a matchday squad for the first time this season after recovering from a knee injury ahead of the visit of West Ham.

Right-back Ben Johnson is not expected to return, while summer signing Nayef Aguerd is a long-term absentee with an ankle injury.
