Last Game Score Record
The reverse game at Goodison Park back in September went Everton’s way. It was a tight and tense tussle in Merseyside, with Neal Maupay scoring the only goal of the game early in the second period.
West Ham were challenging at the other end of the table last term, and David Moyes did the double over his former club. After a 1-0 victory at Goodison, the Hammers won the game at the London Stadium by two goals to one. There has not been a draw in this fixture since January 2020.
West Ham United vs. Everton Analysis
West Ham were heading in the right direction under Moyes. The Scot guided the Hammers to Europe via the league two seasons running for the first time in the club’s history. United reached the last four of the UEFA Europa League last season and are through to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League this year.
West Ham’s form in the Premier League this season has been poor, however. They have struggled to get going from the first whistle and are well and truly embroiled in a relegation scrap.
After last weekend’s disappointing 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Irons slipped into the bottom three. They are now level on points with bottom club Southampton, who won at Everton last Saturday.
Since a 2-0 home success over Bournemouth in October, West Ham have lost six of seven in the Premier League, taking just one point from a possible 21. Overall, Moyes’ men have mustered up just four Premier League wins and have lost 12 times. Keep reading for our West Ham United picks in this crucial clash.
Like West Ham, Everton are also having a season to forget. They started to go backwards last term, though Frank Lampard managed to save them from relegation. However, instead of kicking on, the Toffees have stood still.
Everton are in 19th place after 19 games. They have picked up just three Premier League wins all season, though one of those was against West Ham in September. Lampard’s boys have lost ten and drawn six of the other 16.
Everton head into this game having won just one of their last 11 in the league. Since a 3-0 home victory over Crystal Palace in October, the Toffees have collected a mere two points from 21 on offer.
Victory for one of these struggling clubs on the weekend could be crucial for their survival hopes. First and foremost, this is a must-not-lose game for both sides.
