West Ham United host Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday, with both teams looking for much-needed points in the Premier League. Under the direction of Julen Lopetegui, West Ham have recently put in a mixed performance, and the “Hammers” are currently in 14th place in the table. The form remains inconsistent with two wins in the last five games, causing worrying wrinkles on Lopetegui’s forehead.

The “Toffees” are also experiencing an erratic form, which was given a negative note by the recent 1-0 away defeat to Southampton. With a goal difference of -7 and a ranking of 16th place, the potential to be threatened by relegation remains a real threat that the team must shake off.

West Ham form & record check
West Ham are currently performing inconsistently in the Premier League. Under the direction of Julen Lopetegui, who was appointed as manager not so long ago, they are getting results that vary between great and disappointing. They were recently beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest in a game marred by indiscipline, notably the sending off of Edson Álvarez.
Attacking prowess and defensive problems
However, they did manage an impressive 2-1 win over Manchester United, which highlights the team’s potential. Another highlight was the 4-1 triumph over Ipswich, where they fully exploited their attacking strength, but the 1-4 defeat against Tottenham also clearly showed their defensive weaknesses. With 11 points and 14th place in the table, the situation for “The Hammers” is anything but relaxed; the negative goal difference of -6 speaks volumes.
However, the current lineup and strategy leave question marks, especially as traces of inconsistent performances from recent games persist. Jarrod Bowen remains a bright spot in these times, whose precision in shots on goal can often make a difference. Nevertheless, the Hammers will need to be more consistent in their next game against Everton to escape the bottom third of the table and fulfill their potential.
West Ham facts & analysis

Everton Form & Record Check
Everton go into the upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United with a mixed form. The Toffees have only been able to emerge victorious from the last ten games three times, with the most recent 1-0 defeat to Southampton making it clear that the team of coach Sean Dyche still has to work on consistency. In particular, the yellow cards received by James Tarkowski and Michael Keane in this game were a sign of a certain lack of composure. In home games, they showed defensive stability against Fulham with a 1-1 draw and a goalless draw against Newcastle, but were unable to create enough chances in attack.
Fluctuating form and defensive issues
With a convincing 2-0 away win over Ipswich and a narrow 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, Everton proved at times that they are quite capable of actively controlling games, but these bright spots were quickly overshadowed by disappointing defeats, such as the 2-3 loss to Bournemouth. The 16th place in the table and the negative goal difference of -7 underline the challenges the team faces. Furthermore, the team lost to Southampton in the EFL Cup after a dramatic penalty shoot-out, which added to the pressure on morale.
While the defensive problems remain a work in progress for Dyche, the game against West Ham could be an opportunity to secure important points in the relegation battle. Everton will be hoping that the offensive outbursts from Ashley Young’s wing combined with disciplined defensive work will lead to a positive result. It remains to be seen whether the Toffees can rediscover their consistency and escape the bottom third of the table.
Everton facts & analysis
- Everton have lost their last three PL away games in London, conceding 12 goals
- Everton have only lost one of their last six PL games
- 16th place in the table
West Ham’s next appearance in the Premier League against Everton is eagerly awaited, especially in terms of the line-up. Under the guidance of coach Julen Lopetegui, West Ham could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. In goal, Fabiański will cement his role as the experienced shot-stopper. At the back, Mavropanos, Todibo, and Kilman will provide defensive stability. In midfield, Soler will be supported by Wan-Bissaka, Rodríguez, and Emerson, providing creativity and protection. The attack is expected to be carried by key figures Paquetá and Bowen, who are expected to work together with Summerville.
For the upcoming Premier League game between Everton and West Ham, Everton manager Sean Dyche is expected to choose a similar formation to the last game against Southampton and field a 4-2-3-1. The undisputed backbone in goal will be Pickford, who has also impressed with his saves this season. In defense, Young, Tarkowski, Keane and Mykolenko are crucial to success as a stable unit. In midfield, Gueye alongside Mangala could provide defensive cover, while Lindstrøm is a key figure as a central creative player. He is supported by McNeil and Ndiaye in attacking roles behind striker Calvert-Lewin, who is back to scoring goals after injuries. Should any unexpected absences arise, the experienced Beto would be available as a flexible option in attack.
