Match Prediction: Everton 1-1 West Ham

David Moyes' Everton side has been a model of resilience, extending their unbeaten run to eight Premier League matches. Their recent form includes a series of hard-fought draws against Wolves (1-1), Brentford (1-1), and Manchester United (2-2), alongside a notable away victory over Crystal Palace (2-1). The Toffees have been buoyed by the form of Beto, who has been a consistent threat up front in recent games.

West Ham have experienced a mixed bag of results, with victories over Leicester (2-0) and Arsenal (1-0) providing highlights. However, losses to Brentford (0-1), Chelsea (1-2) and Newcastle (0-1) have tempered their momentum. Jarrod Bowen remains a key figure for the Hammers, contributing both goals and assists, while their defensive solidity has been tested in recent weeks.

The recent encounters between these two sides have been closely contested. Everton secured a 1-0 victory at the London Stadium in October 2023, while West Ham triumphed 3-1 at Goodison Park in March 2024. Historically, Everton have the upper hand with 29 wins to West Ham's 14 in their 57 Premier League meetings.

The Toffees have a significant injury list. Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Orel Mangala, and Iliman Ndiaye are all sidelined, which could impact their midfield and attacking options.

West Ham is still expected to be without Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, Vladimir Coufal and Lucas Paqueta, which could affect the Irons in every area of the pitch.

Pickford; Tarkowski, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Harrison, Doucoure, Lindstrom; Beto.

Areola; Cresswell, Kilman, Todibo; Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Scarles; Bowen, Kudus

• Beto vs Jean-Clair Todibo: Beto's physical presence and recent scoring form will test Todibo's defensive capabilities.
• Jarrod Bowen vs James Tarkowski: Bowen's pace and creativity up front could be pivotal, with Tarkowski likely tasked to contain him.
• Midfield Battle: The duel between Thomas Soucek and Idrissa Gueye will be crucial in determining control of the midfield.
  

Everton has failed to win 22 Premier League games in which they’ve had a 2+ goal lead, only Southampton have failed to win more games in the competition’s history with such a winning margin.

This statistic underscores the Toffees' occasional vulnerability in holding onto leads, a factor that could play into West Ham's hands if they fall behind early.
