West Ham v Everton

West Ham vs Everton Preview

West Ham manager, David Moyes, will be demanding a positive response from his players following Sunday's 4-1 capitulation against Aston Villa at Villa Park last weekend when they return to the London Stadium for Sunday lunchtime's clash with lowly Everton as The Hammers look to maintain their position in the top half of the Premier League table.

After making an encouraging and impressive start to this new English top flight campaign as the London club produced a four-match unbeaten start to the new season, picking up three wins in the process, results have seemingly gone south for West Ham in subsequent weeks as the hosts have managed to pick up just one further win from their five league games thereafter.

Previous wins against Chelsea, Brighton and Luton Town had set West Ham well on their way but a 2-0 home win against Sheffield United afterwards has been outweighed by losses to Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa respectively.

However, the visit of an Everton outfit who not only occupy a lowly 16th place in the Premier League table but also have the possibility of a severe 12-point deduction for breaching sustainability thresholds hanging over their heads, provides West Ham with the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways this Sunday.

Everton slipped to a 2-0 defeat away at Anfield against Liverpool in the merseyside derby last weekend and The Toffees once again find themselves in familiar territory in the English top flight table as they occupy a place in the lower reaches of the division.

Although Sean Dyche's side have managed to collect wins against Brentford and Bournemouth in recent times, the merseyside club have also been handed no fewer than six defeats already so far this season within their opening nine games.

The bigger picture shows Everton have registered just four wins out of their previous 20 matches in the Premier League which does not appear to bode well for this upcoming trip to the nation's capital to take on a West Ham outfit who'll be keen to set the record straight at the London Stadium on Sunday.

West Ham v Everton Verdict

West Ham have won twice as many matches as Everton so far in the early stages of this new Premier League season and the hosts have been a fairly tough outfit to beat in their own backyard as The Hammers have lost just three out of their last 14 home games, whilst also picking up seven wins in the process.

Within this sequence of results, West Ham registered a 2-0 home win against Everton in their previous meeting towards the end of January and another three point for the hosts look to be on the cards here, considering Everton have won just twice in their last 19 outings on the road.

Therefore, our main bet will be West Ham win @ 2.10
