David Moyes welcomes his former club to Goodison Park, but Everton remain the defining team of his managerial career. Ironically, both sides enter this clash level on points, making it a crucial battle for mid-table positioning.
Everton
Since Moyes returned to Merseyside on January 11, Everton have been a different team. Their seven-match unbeaten streak has kept them in the fight for a top-half finish, though their recent form leans more towards draws than wins—three consecutive stalemates. With a brutal run of fixtures looming in April (Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Chelsea), Everton must take advantage of this relatively winnable game.
West Ham United
West Ham have struggled for consistency. Their shock win at the Emirates two rounds ago came under fortunate circumstances, as Arsenal were missing key attacking players and suffered a red card during the match. But aside from that, West Ham have lost half of their games under Graham Potter and rarely score more than once (just six goals in their last eight matches). The reason is obvious—their attacking options have been decimated by injuries.
Everton vs West Ham United Prediction
Everton, on the other hand, have scored 12 goals in their last six Premier League outings, showing far greater attacking efficiency. Given West Ham’s struggles in front of goal, they should take all three points at home.
