TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

West Ham move into Saturday's fixture against Everton carrying the pressure of a turbulent season, sitting 17th in the Premier League table with just 33 points from 33 games. Their attack has managed an average of 1.21 goals per game in the league. 

While the defence has leaked a troubling 1.73 goals per game, which is the second-highest concession rate in the division. Those are numbers that tell the story of a side that have fought gamely going forward but crumbled at the back far too often throughout the campaign.

Across their last five games in all competitions, Nuno Espírito Santo's men have scored seven goals and conceded five. The 4-0 hammering of Wolverhampton Wanderers stands out as their best attacking display during that stretch, though the 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa and a goalless draw with Crystal Palace underline the inconsistency that has plagued them. 

Their 2-2 draw with Leeds and 1-1 stalemate with Manchester City rounded off a mixed run of results.

For team news, goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański remains sidelined with a back injury and is not expected to feature. Mads Hermansen continues between the sticks in his absence. No additional absentees were flagged from the Hammers' side ahead of this fixture. 

West Ham United (4-4-1-1): Mads Hermansen - Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Axel Disasi, Malick Diouf - Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes, Tomás Soucek, Crysencio Summerville - Pablo - Valentín Castellanos. 

Everton FC Preview

Everton arrive at the London Stadium in considerably better shape than their hosts, occupying 10th place in the Premier League with 47 points from 33 games. David Moyes' side have averaged 1.21 goals per game in the league this season, matching West Ham offensively, yet their defensive record tells a sharply different story. 

They have conceded just 1.18 goals per game, one of the more disciplined backlines in the division's mid-table. That solidity has been the bedrock of Everton's surprisingly competitive campaign.

Looking at their last five games across all competitions, the Toffees have scored eight and conceded six. A 3-0 win over Chelsea was the standout result, with a 2-0 victory against Burnley also demonstrating their capacity to shut opponents out. 

However, a 1-2 home defeat to Liverpool and a 2-0 loss at Arsenal showed they can still be undone by the division's top sides. The 2-2 draw at Brentford further illustrated moments of defensive fragility.

On the injury front, Jarrad Branthwaite remains absent with a hamstring injury, not expected back until early June 2026. Jack Grealish is also unavailable due to a broken foot, with his return similarly pencilled in for early June. Both absences are significant blows, although Everton's defensive unit has managed without Branthwaite for much of the season. 

Everton (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford - Jake O'Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko - Idrissa Gana Gueye, James Garner - Dwight McNeil, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye - Thierno Barry. 

WEST HAM UNITED FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

West Ham's defensive record, which is nearly 1.73 goals conceded per game, gives Everton's mobile attack real reason for optimism. Moyes' side have the discipline and quality to exploit the spaces the Hammers leave behind. A narrow Everton win looks the most likely outcome.

Everton to win (2-0)
