Everton vs West Ham: Preview and Prediction
Everton vs West Ham United
English Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 29th November 2017
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Goodison Park, Liverpool.
Everton are a team in shambles with problems persisting both on and off the field. The Toffees lost 4-1 to Southampton on the weekend, just three days after a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League. The caretaker manager David Unsworth managed just 1 win from the 7 matches since he took over the reigns from Ronald Koeman at the end of October.
The Toffees are 16th in the league at the moment and could drop down to the relegation zone with a defeat on Wednesday. And the visiting West Ham are 18th and they could move out of the drop zone with three points.
Meantime, West Ham pulled out an inspiring second half performance to come from behind to hold Leicester City to a 1-1 draw. This could turn out to be a key point for the struggling team as the result came against a team that hit form in recent weeks.
David Moyes lost his first game in charge of West Ham away to Watford. He will be looking for his first win as the Hammers manager against his old club on Wednesday.
Everton vs West Ham: Head-to-head
Everton lost just 2 of their last 21 matches in all competitions against West Ham, while they won 12 and drew 7. One of those wins came at the Goodison Park in 2015/16 season and the other came in penalties in a FA Cup tie in the season before.
Everton vs West Ham: Prediction
It is hard to see any positives from the way Everton are playing at the moment. To be precise, the players are not doing their job for their manager David Unsworth.
Meanwhile, West Ham showed signs of improvement in the 1-1 draw against Leicester. Yet, Moyes have a lot to do to get the best out of this talented squad.
However, with Everton in extreme difficulties in find motivation, the Hammers could get back to winning ways under their new manager, ending a win-less streak of 6 matches in the Premier League.
