Everton Prediction – Can Everton kick-start season?

The pressure is now on for Everton and in particular, Portuguese manager, Marco Silva, as The Toffees were plunged into the bottom three of the Premier League just before the international break following a 1-0 defeat away at Burnley.

That loss away to Burnley at Turf Moor became Everton’s fourth top flight defeat on the trot and another loss to West Ham upon their return to action in this Saturday’s early kick-off would surely see the end to Silva’s tenure with the merseyside club.

Previous defeats to Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Manchester City, along with the loss against Burnley last time out will have placed Silva and his team on notice, but there’s a glimmer of hope for the hosts ahead of this crucial clash.

The last time these two teams met resulted with a 2-0 win away from home for Everton at the London Stadium back in March, and Everton will no doubt be desperate to record a repeat of that result at Goodison Park this Saturday.

West Ham Prediction – Can West Ham bounce back?

The visitors were handed a surprising 2-1 defeat at home by London rivals, Crystal Palace, just before the international break and this result ended a decent run of 6 league matches without defeat in the Premier League for West Ham.

Recent wins against Watford, Norwich City and Manchester United along with picking up points in draws with Brighton, Aston Villa and Bournemouth (all away from home), had helped The Hammers to within touching distance of the top six of the top flight.

Despite being away from home in their return to top flight action this Saturday, West Ham will be in confident mood that they can heap further pressure upon Everton and Marco Silva at Goodison Park as they’re still unbeaten on the road this season.

An away record of 1-3-0 6/4 has helped them maintain their top half position in the Premier League, and indeed, the visitors are unbeaten in their last 6 matches away from home in the Premier League as they also beat Tottenham 1-0 away at the end of last season.

Betting Tips Verdict

Everton must get a result here while West Ham have improved on their travels and carry serious goal threats.
