Stadium: Goodison Park (Liverpool)
West Ham got off to a great start of the season, only to stall a little due to taking part in the Europa League. Will the Hammers improve their position or will the Toffees stay in the top 6?
Everton form
Everton without Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison has the same number of points (14) as Man United. The gap from the leading Chelsea is only 5 points. Last weekend, the Toffees created a mini-sensation at Old Trafford, beating Man United 1-1. Rafa Benitez was able to make up for the loss of his leading starters with some notable players - Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray, directly involved in the scoring. But so far, the Toffees have had no top matches, with the exception of a trip to Manchester City.
West Ham form
Last weekend, West Ham suffered a bitter defeat at home to Brentford (1-2), conceding the decisive goal in the final minute. As a result of that loss, the Hammers slipped to 9th place in the standings. Currently, they are 10th, three points behind Everton. In addition, the London club plays in the Europa League, where they have won two games. Therefore, a drop in results is inevitable.
Injuries and suspensions
- Everton: Delph, Digne, Coleman, Iwobi, Sigurðsson, Mina;
- West Ham: Fredericks, Coufal (questionable).
Head-to-head encounters
The teams have played each other 145 times. The Toffees have almost twice as many wins as the opponent (73-40). In recent encounters, however, there's no advantage in favor of either team. Last season, the teams exchanged 1-0 away wins.
Key stats
- Everton scored at least 2 goals in the last 3 home matches;
- West Ham has a six-match unbeaten streak away;
- Everton won the last 4 home matches.
