Hill Dickinson Stadium will light up tonight as Everton will welcome West Ham United for another round of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Recent meetings between the two sides have been evenly distributed but West Ham has picked up five league wins from the matchup, second only to their matchup against Wolverhampton.
Team News
Everton have won just one of their last five Premier League games at home. Since the start of 2021, West Ham have had only five Premier League wins against Everton. However both games between the two sides last season ended in a tie.
The host have lost just two of their twelve Premier League home matches since David Moyes’ return to the club and the Toffees are looking to keep a clean sheet in each of their first three home games in a season for the first time since 1987/88.
Everton has won two of their last five games in the Premier League. They have also lost two away games leaving them with one draw. They hope to extend their unbeaten competitive record at their new stadium so far having won two and drawn one.
On the other hand, West Ham remain without a win in their last three Monday fixtures in the Premier League and have lost two and drawn one so far.
Meanwhile West Ham are at the bottom of the League table with only one win in the last five games and have lost the remaining four games. The Hammers sacked manager Graham Potter on Saturday and he was replaced by current manager Nuno Espirito who is expected to help turn things around for the Club. The Hammers have had their last three wins on the road and new manager Nuno may very well be on his way to claiming his first victory for the club in today’s encounter.
Lineups
David Moyes will maintain his 4-2-3-1 formation with Pickford holding the fort in goal. O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, and Mykolenko while stay in defense behind Garner and Gueye. While Ndiaye, Deesburu-Hall, and Grealish will follow closely begin striker Beto.
Conversely, Nuno Espírito Santo will have the same formation, maintaining Areola in goal with Diouf, Kilman, Mavropanos, and Walker-Peters on the back line. Fernandes and Magassa will follow in midfield behind trio Summerville, Pawuetá and Bowen while Füllkrug will lead the attack. They will however be without Tomáš Souček and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
With both teams in desperate need of a win, tonights’ encounter promises to be a thrilling experience for both fans and football lovers alike.
