Koeman should give these 3 Everton stars a chance against West Ham

Gareth Barry

Everton weren’t at their fluent best for much of their victory over Burnley, with the central midfield area guilty of being sloppy in possession.

And that could mean that the experienced Gareth Barry returns to the side against a West Ham outfit that won their last home match.

The 36-year-old has started 22 of the Toffees’ 33 Premier League games this term, but the January arrival of Morgan Schneiderlin has somewhat demoted him down the pecking order, so much so that he has started just seven of their 14 league matches in 2017.

Nonetheless, Barry can still do a job in controlling the midfield, and Koeman may need that against a Hammers side that have improved in recent weeks.
