Everton have major injury concerns. The 20-year-old Browning made his professional team debut in late September and now will make his first professional start. Leighton Baines has an outside chance of being ready for the match, but Roberto Martinez does not want to jeopardize his season by running him out too early. Browning's pace will give him the edge over Luke Garbutt.

Gareth Barry and James McCarthy are also on the injury report, so someone in the midfield will have to step up their production. Pienaar is going to have to play a mature game and find a way to join the attack. With the injuries, scoring will have to come from an unusual place. Pienaar will tally his first goal of the season.

The teams have combined to score 39 goals on the year while giving up 32. At least three goals have been scored in three of West Ham's last four games. The same goes for three of Everton's last five games. The injuries should open up the space for a back-and-forth game.

Both teams are in good form, but the injuries will be too much for Everton. Beating Everton has not been easy for the Hammers, who have lost three and drawn twice in their last five trips to Goodison Park.

Valencia has compiled 27 shots in 10 appearances for West Ham. He has scored three and assisted on two goals with 11 shots in the last three Premier League games. Valencia is on a good run of form and is always a threat in the air. He will pop up in the right place late in the game.
