West Ham United vs Everton Predictions

• West Ham have seen both teams score in 10 of their last 11 league games
• The hosts have seen BTTS land in each of their last four in all competitions
• Everton have scored nine times across their last five away games

Uncertain future for Toffees

With reports of a potential 12-point penalty and their takeover up in the air, Everton’s immediate future is far from certain. The Toffees could move to -5 points if they get hit with a 12-point deduction for Financial Fair Play issues, which would leave them firmly bottom of the Premier League table a quarter of the way through the campaign.

That news came at a time when it seemed Sean Dyche had the long-term strugglers turning a corner. Confidence had returned to Everton’s approach, with the Toffees winning three of their last five away trips, losing only once and scoring nine times.

Hammers hope for a turnaround

Recent weeks have dented West Ham’s strong start to the season, as they’ve failed to win any of their last three. They have had tricky league clashes with Newcastle and Aston Villa, but Thursday’s 2-1 loss to Olympiakos in Europe was a real blow.

The Hammers have a reputation as a solid side, but they’re still conceding too many goals despite a less-than-expansive style. The Hammers have seen both teams score in each of their last four games in all competitions, while 10 of their last 11 matches in the Premier League have seen BTTS land.

Calvert-Lewin can lead Toffees’ charge

Everton have kept just one clean sheet across their 11 games this season and their defensive issues aren’t likely to go away any time soon. However, the return of Dominic Calvert-Lewin has helped them improve going forward.

The Toffees come into this clash having scored in four of their last five games, while they’ve scored at least twice in four of their last five away games. Calvert-Lewin comes into this clash with five league goals against the Hammers, which is his best return against any side. With the forward scoring in three of his last five matches, back him to score in this clash.
