West Ham v Everton Preview

ONE of three Premier League three o’clock kick offs sees relegation battling West Ham host former manager David Moyes’ Toffees.

A crucial battle for both sides, with the Hammers just two points above rivals Tottenham and the relegation zone.

Everton visit the London Stadium aiming to revive a European charge that was dented by a painful 2-1 Merseyside derby defeat last weekend.

While this fixture has turned up draws in their last three competitive meetings, Moyes’ Everton boast one of the best away records in the league this season, and will be sure to turn up for the occasion.

The Toffees’ have managed just one victory in their last four matches, losing two and drawing one.

The Hammers are scrapping for every point to stay clear of the bottom three, but results have been patchy at best of late, between their home demolition of Wolves and a dreary goalless draw at Crystal Palace.

Match Stats

West Ham have struggled at home against the Toffees, winning just three of their last 17 Premier League meetings at the London Stadium (D5 L9).

Everton have recorded more Premier League wins against West Ham both overall (29) and away from home (13) than against any other opponent in the competition.

West Ham’s defensive resolve has improved at home, keeping two clean sheets in their last three league games—matching their total from the previous 41 matches at this venue.

Everton striker Beto has been in clinical form in 2026, netting seven goals from just 19 shots and averaging a goal every 81 minutes.

Team News

Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed he has a “fully fit squad” to choose from, meaning there are no known injury concerns for the hosts. The Hammers also have no players currently serving suspensions.

The visitors are facing a defensive crisis as Jarrad Branthwaite is out for the season with a hamstring injury. He joins Jack Grealish on the sidelines, while midfielder Charly Alcaraz has returned to contention after a knock.
