West Ham v Everton betting tips: Eyes on the prize for Moyes’ men

West Ham v Everton head-to-head

You have to go back to the 2016-17 season to find the last goalless draw between the two teams in the Premier League.

In fact the last two times the teams met without scoring came in the two matches in that same season. A first goalless draw for four years would return at odds of 10/1.

Soucek has been an important source of goals for West Ham this season, including his late winner at Goodison Park on New Year’s Day. The Czech international is 14/5 to be on target again and 15/2 to open the scoring.

Everton have won three of their last five meetings with West Ham but in order to add to that tally they may well need Calvert-Lewin to find the target and he is 7/5 to do that.

Previous XI

Everton: Pickford, Holgate, Digne, Godfrey, Coleman, Allan, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Gomes, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Team news

Hammers midfielder Declan Rice is back in training after five weeks out with a knee injury and could return. Angelo Ogbonna, Arthur Masuaku and Mark Noble are still injury doubts.

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure returns after missing eight matches with a fractured bone in his foot but James Rodriguez is unavailable because of a calf problem.

Key battles

The power of Soucek driving West Ham forward will take a lot to halt and it will be down to Everton’s Andre Gomes to keep him in check.

Mason Holgate and Ben Godfrey face having to stop the force of nature that is Antonio and the experienced Craig Dawson in the Hammers defence must face up to Calvert-Lewin.
