# Felipe Anderson set to face Everton after injury scare

West Ham United have received a fitness boost ahead of Saturday’s clash against Everton as Felipe Anderson looks set to be fit.

The Brazilian winger [took a knock](https://www.claretandhugh.info/anderson-and-antonio-injury-updates/) in the second half of last Friday’s defeat at Sheffield United, but should be ready to feature against David Moyes’ old club.

That’s according to [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/anderson-and-antonio-injury-updates/), who report that Anderson has been in full training this week ahead of the big game against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The Hammers will return to the London Stadium after their impressive 4-0 triumph over AFC Bournemouth in Moyes’ first game back in charge.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

[Anderson has by no means set the world alight this season, scoring just once and providing five assists, but has been ever-present, making 21 appearances in all competitions.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/felipe-anderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/159372)

Moyes has used him in three different positions so far – in central attacking midfield, on the right wing and up front – which probably highlights his importance.

I think it’s a fine boost for West Ham considering Moyes’ only current fit first-team alternatives are Pablo Fornals and Robert Snodgrass.

It’s a big game on Saturday; [West Ham could move just three points away from the top half with a win, whilst Everton could jump up to eighth](https://www.premierleague.com/tables).
