West Ham
- West Ham have conceded 28 goals at home in this Premier League campaign, an average of 1.75 per game.
- Nuno Espírito Santo, who took over at West Ham in late September 2025, has moulded the Irons into a more compact and pragmatic outfit, with a deep block and an emphasis on defensive solidity and fast breaks.
- West Ham have played with a back three or a narrow 4-2-3-1 system to give them an extra man in defence and an extra body in the midfield when they are defending deep.
Everton
- Everton have been tougher to beat away from home this season, winning seven, drawing four and losing just five of their 16 Premier League games.
- David Moyes took over as Blues manager in January 2025 and has instilled a structure-first, ‘structure all the time’ approach to Everton’s play.
- Moyes’ Blue side are disciplined, defensive and organised, with a compact midblock, good pressing structure and speedy vertical transitions making them very tough to break down and dangerous on the counter-attack.
- The Blues have been in pretty average form lately, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five in all competitions, while West Ham have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.
Head-to-Head
This fixture has been even closer, with both teams winning once and drawing three of the previous five meetings, although the two sides drew 1-1 at Everton earlier this Premier League season.

Prediction
- Everton’s away form and their head-to-head record against West Ham make them our favorite to edge out their hosts on Saturday in a crucial match at the London Stadium.
- Everton sit 10th in the Premier League with 47 points from 33 games, while West Ham are 17th with 33 points from 33.
- So, these two teams play to almost identical gameplans and we could be in for a chess match on Saturday that is dominated by midfield duels and set-piece opportunities.
- But, given Everton are a better side at the moment and have been much more effective away from home, we’ll be siding with the away team to edge this game.
