Can West Ham Move Clear of the Relegation Zone with Win Over Everton?
2788

There are several games to look forward to in the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon. One of which takes place at the London Stadium as West Ham United meet Everton. The hosts come into this match sitting in 16th place in the Premier League, just one point clear of the relegation zone. Everton are in 11th place in the table and a win could see them move into the top half of the league.

West Ham United suffered late disappointment at Sheffield United in their previous Premier League match as they lost the game 1-0. The Hammers believed they secured a point with a late equalising goal only for VAR to intervene and disallow the goal for handball. That result means West Ham United have lost 8 of their last 11 Premier League games, winning only 3.

They have won 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions but only one of them has come in the Premier League. The victory was at home against another struggling team, Bournemouth and West Ham United won the match convincingly 4-0.

Trends show that West Ham United's home form has been poor and they have won only one of their last 7 home Premier League matches. They have conceded 2 or more goals in 10 of their last 15 Premier League games but have managed to score at least 1 goal in each of their last 9 home matches in all competitions.

Everton come into this game on the back of a narrow 1-0 home win against Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend. It was an important victory for The Toffees who were dumped out of the FA Cup by Liverpool in embarrassing fashion the previous weekend. Trends show Everton have become difficult to beat in recent Premier League games and have lost only one of their last 7 matches in the competition.

The defeat came away against Manchester City but between that fixture Everton have won 3 Premier League matches. The wins came at home against Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion plus away against Newcastle United.

However, away form is not good and Everton have managed to pick up just 2 wins in their last 14 away Premier League games. Both teams have scored in each of Everton's last 7 away matches in the Premier League.

Looking ahead to the team news and West Ham United are definitely without Ryan Fredericks who has a hamstring injury. Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko, Lukasz Fabianski and Michail Antonio are all doubts, with goalkeeper Fabianksi being the one player West Ham United cannot afford to be without.

Everton travel without Alex Iwobi, Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin who are all injured. Every other player should be fit and available for Carlo Ancelotti.

Given the goal scoring and defensive records of both teams home and away respectively, we should see both score in this game. However, if Fabianksi fails to make it this will hand Everton the advantage and they could come away with a narrow victory.
