West Ham United vs Everton Prediction: Hammers to claim crucial win

Sean Dyche takes his Everton side to the capital this Saturday to take on West Ham United at the London Stadium (15:00).

The Toffees' five-game unbeaten run came to an end last week against Southampton, leaving them in 16th place, while the Hammers came away empty-handed at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest. Read on for my West Ham United vs Everton prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Mohammed Kudus will be absent for the hosts, after the Ghanaian had his ban extended to five matches following the outburst against Spurs which resulted in a sending off for violent conduct.

Edson Alvarez will also be suspended after his dismissal against Nottingham Forest last week, while Niclas Fullkrug is expected to remain out for a few more weeks at least.

Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola both missed out entirety last week through illness and injury, so they're both doubts for Saturday.

As for the visitors, Seamus Coleman is the only absentee for Dyche, while Abdoulaye Doucoure could return to the fold after missing the defeat at Southampton.

The Hammers can be backed at 23/20 to claim a vital three points, giving them an implied win probability of 46.5%, and it's 5/2 for both the draw and Everton win.

Jarrod Bowen leads the anytime goalscorer market at 15/8, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin the shortest-priced for the visitors at 9/4.

West Ham United to win @ 23/20

After the defeat to Southampton last week - their fifth defeat of the campaign - Dyche’s side are now just four points clear of the drop zone.

Saturday pits them against a West Ham team with huge concerns of their own, but the Hammers have took advantage of their encounters with vulnerable sides.

They’ve lost all five of their clashes with top-seven sides, they’ve shared the spoils in two encounters with midtable teams but they’ve won all three contests with squads in the bottom eight.

In addition, West Ham have won their last two outings at the London Stadium - against Ipswich Town and Manchester United - so I think that backing the home win appeals on Saturday.

The Irons have won five of eight Premier League games against the Toffees, losing the other three - with this fixture not seeing a draw in that time.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime @ 9/4

The Everton striker has only scored twice in 10 league outings this term, which is hardly surprising as the Toffees are struggling to score in general.

However, all three of Calvert-Lewin’s Premier League goals against West Ham have come at the London Stadium, with the last two coming in 1-0 wins for Everton.

The only side he's scored more away goals against, other than the Hammers, is Newcastle United (5), so I'm backing him to get on the scoresheet on Saturday.
