Match Overview Everton vs West Ham

This match will be a crucial moment for West Ham as the team plays for the first time at the new Everton stadium Hill Dickinson.

A new specialist is on the coaching bench – Nuno Espírito Santo, who took this position after Graham Potter's dismissal, who worked for only eight months.

Nuno faces serious challenges.

West Ham currently has only three points after the first five championship matches and occupies 19th place in the Premier League table.

The team's attacking problems are evident as only three teams have scored fewer than five goals, and in defense, West Ham has conceded 13 goals, which is the worst record in the league along with Burnley and Wolves.

Moreover, the Hammers have not won in their last three Premier League matches, playing on Monday.

However, today there is a chance for optimism: West Ham has shown good results in matches against Everton.

Since the beginning of 2021, West Ham has won only one game fewer in the Premier League than in matches against Wolves (6 wins), while Everton has managed to win only one of the last five home matches against the team from East London.

As for Everton, the club also needs a win to boost morale after a difficult start to the 2025-26 season.

After two consecutive victories over Brighton and Wolves, Everton has not been able to win for three matches, including a defeat in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool and elimination from the Carabao Cup by Wolves.

However, both losses were away. At the same time, at the Hill Dickinson stadium, the team has yet to concede any goals in the Premier League this season, which adds confidence. It is worth noting that Everton has only lost two of 12 home matches in the Premier League since David Moyes returned to the club.

Predictions for the first goal and exact score

Winner

We predict that Jack Grealish from Everton will manage to assist in the match at an attractive odds of 3/1 with William Hill.

Grealish, 30, is the team's main assister, having already earned four assists in five Premier League matches this season.

Considering West Ham's defensive problems, which has conceded 13 goals (the worst in the league), we expect Jack to seize the chance and add to his assist tally.

• Jack Grealish assists at 3/1 with William Hill

Unexpected

Although Nuno Espírito Santo is currently leading the team, there is little time for him to improve the game.

West Ham has already conceded seven goals from corners this season, which is only one less than last season. 32% of all corner goals in the league (7 out of 22) came at the Hammer's net.

This is not the best situation against Everton, which ranks fourth for expected goals (xG) from set-pieces – 3.17.

Thus, we are also betting on Michael Keane, who is a threat in attack from set-pieces, to score overall at 7/1.

• Michael Keane will score from any position at 7/1 with William Hill
