Match Prediction: Everton 2-1 West Ham United

Everton's recent form suggests they could pose a significant challenge to West Ham. With two wins in their last five league games, including a strong home victory against Brighton, Everton have demonstrated their effectiveness in both attack and defence.

Their ability to secure points against tough opponents like Brighton and Aston Villa indicates a resilience that could be crucial in this match.

West Ham, on the other hand, has struggled, losing four of their first five league games, which might affect their confidence going into this fixture. As will the speculation on who will be the next manager.

The game could be closely contested, with Everton likely to capitalise on their home advantage. West Ham's recent heavy defeats, under the now fired Potter, suggest they might struggle to contain Everton's attacking threats.

However, West Ham's win against Nottingham Forest shows they are capable of producing a strong performance when needed. This match could hinge on which team manages to impose their style of play more effectively.

Everton's recent form has been mixed but shows signs of improvement. After a loss to Liverpool, they managed to secure a draw against Aston Villa and followed it with back-to-back wins against Wolverhampton and Brighton.

This suggests a growing confidence within the squad, which could be vital in their upcoming match against West Ham. Their ability to bounce back from losses and secure points against strong teams indicates they are in a good position to perform well at home.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Liverpool (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Aston Villa (H)

• Win: 3-2 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Leeds United (A)

West Ham have had a challenging run of form, losing four out of their last five league games. Their only victory of the season came against Nottingham Forest, which was a convincing 3-0 win away from home.

However, their recent performances, including heavy defeats to Tottenham and Chelsea, indicate a team struggling to find consistency. This poor run of form could impact their confidence and performance against Everton.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (A)

• Loss: 1-5 vs Chelsea (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Sunderland (A)

The head-to-head record between Everton and West Ham has been closely contested in recent league matches. Out of the last five league encounters, both teams have had their share of results, with one win for Everton, two for West Ham, and two draws. 

The most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw, suggesting that these teams are evenly matched. This history suggests that the upcoming game could be another close contest.

• Predicted lineup: Pickford, O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Beto

Everton's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure while utilising the creativity of Grealish and Dewsbury-Hall in midfield to unlock West Ham's defence. The inclusion of Beto and Ndiaye in attacking roles suggests an intention to press high and capitalise on any defensive errors by West Ham.

• Predicted lineup: Areola, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Mavropanos, Diouf, Ward-Prowse, Fernandes, Bowen, Paquetá, Summerville, Füllkrug

West Ham's predicted lineup points towards a reliance on the attacking prowess of Bowen and Füllkrug to lead their offensive efforts. The midfield combination of Ward-Prowse and Paquetá will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo and providing service to the forwards. However, the new manager if appointed in time may shake things up.

• Jack Grealish vs Kyle Walker-Peters: Grealish's creativity will test Walker-Peters' defensive capabilities. 

• James Tarkowski vs Niclas Füllkrug: Tarkowski's defensive solidity will be key in neutralising Füllkrug's finishing ability.

• James Garner (Everton): His ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball effectively will be crucial for Everton's success.

• Lucas Paquetá (West Ham United): His vision and passing could unlock Everton's defence if West Ham is to secure a positive result.
