Everton vs West Ham prediction: Another loss for the Irons
Key Stats
- West Ham have lost four of their five Premier League matches this season.
- Everton have gone under 2.5 total goals in five of their seven games this season.
- Seven of the last 10 meetings between Everton and West Ham have gone under 2.5 total goals.
Correct score prediction: Everton 1-0 West Ham
After three games at home this season, one of which was in the EFL Cup, Everton are still undefeated and they have yet to concede a goal, which bodes well for their upcoming duel with West Ham.
Furthermore, West Ham have been terrible at the start of the new season and have lost five of their six matches across all competitions. They did make a managerial change, with Nuno Espirito Santo appointed ahead of this game, which could give the team a bit of a boost.
Despite that, we still expect Everton to win this match and hold West Ham scoreless in front of their home crowd at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Since the start of the season, the first at their new stadium, Everton played three games at home – two in the Premier League and one in the EFL Cup. Two of those matches they won and also drew against Aston Villa, so they remain undefeated at home.

West Ham preview: Can Espirito Santo turn things around?
After they only got one win in the first five rounds of the new Premier League season, which were their only points so far, the Hammers decided to part ways with Graham Potter and bring in former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo to right the ship. Whether the Portuguese manager turns things around remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that West Ham are in for another rough season.
When it comes to team news, Aaron Wan-Bissaka remains out with stomach issues, while Tomas Soucek is suspended for this match.
Predicted lineup: Areola (GK), Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf, Magassa, Fernandes, Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville & Fullkrug

Player to watch: Iliman Ndiaye
The Senegalese international born in France had a solid last season, which he finished with nine goals. However, Ndiaye hit the ground running this season as he already has two goals and one assist to his name.
The 25-year-old seems to be entering his prime years and Everton will rely on him heavily this season, so keep an eye on Ndiaye this Monday against West Ham.
