Everton - West Ham Önizlemesi

• Everton kazanacak
• 3,5 gol altı

Everton’s season has already had its fair share of turbulence. A 2-1 Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool was followed by a disappointing 2-0 exit in the Carabao Cup at the hands of Wolves, a side who had been struggling themselves. Much of the frustration from supporters was directed at David Moyes, who rotated his squad heavily for the cup tie, effectively sacrificing the competition. Moyes justified his decision as a tactical gamble to keep his core players fresh for this key league clash, but the result did little to placate fans still waiting for a piece of silverware after more than three decades.

Despite those frustrations, there are positives for Everton to build on. The Toffees have adapted well to life at their new home, Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they remain unbeaten (W2, D1). Moyes’ men have also been resilient in the league on their own patch, losing just two of their last 12 Premier League home matches (W4, D6). With a passionate crowd behind them and fresh legs to call upon, Everton will be quietly confident of bouncing back.

West Ham, meanwhile, are enduring a much deeper crisis. Graham Potter’s brief spell in charge ended in disaster with five defeats from six competitive matches, forcing the board into decisive action at the weekend.

Former Wolves, Valencia, and Spurs boss Nuno Espírito Santo has been drafted in to steady the ship, though he inherits a squad low on confidence and seemingly short of tactical identity. Nuno’s immediate challenge will be to inject discipline and defensive stability into a team that has conceded heavily from set-pieces. If the Portuguese tactician needs encouragement, it may come from West Ham’s tendency to thrive away from home. Their last three Premier League victories have all come on their travels, each by a margin of two goals or more.

Kafa Kafaya Geçmiş

This fixture has been remarkably balanced in recent years. Both Premier League meetings last season ended in draws, underlining just how evenly matched these sides can be. However, zooming out to a longer timeline paints a different picture. Since the start of 2021, West Ham have collected five league wins against Everton, second only to their head-to-head record against Wolves in that period.

Everton, though, have generally enjoyed the better of home encounters, with Jordan Pickford’s clean sheet record against the Hammers (six) underlining their defensive resilience at Goodison and now Hill Dickinson. Still, the Hammers have a knack for finding goals against Everton, with striker Callum Wilson boasting an excellent scoring record in this matchup.

Sıcak İstatistikler ve Seriler

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players

Everton

Jordan Pickford: England’s No. 1 has been a standout figure in this fixture, with six clean sheets against West Ham.

He will be key if Everton are to keep Nuno Espírito Santo’s side at bay.

West Ham

Callum Wilson: Everton have often been on the receiving end of Wilson’s predatory instincts. The striker has scored eight goals in his last seven league appearances against the Toffees, including four braces.

Lucas Paquetá’s creativity and flair remain essential to West Ham’s attacking threat, particularly as Nuno will likely seek to build his system around Paquetá’s technical quality.

Team News

Everton are sweating on the availability of Jarrad Branthwaite and new recruit Merlin Röhl, though both have a chance of featuring. For West Ham, Tomáš Souček and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are sidelined, depriving the new manager of two experienced campaigners.

Taktiksel Görünüm

David Moyes will likely lean on his tried-and-tested pragmatic approach, prioritising defensive shape and transitions. With West Ham struggling from corners, Everton may look to exploit their aerial power through set-pieces and deliveries from wide areas. The Toffees’ midfield battle will also be crucial, with Abdoulaye Doucouré tasked with disrupting Paquetá’s rhythm.

Nuno Espírito Santo is renowned for structured, counter-attacking football, and he may be tempted to implement a back-three system in his first game to provide defensive solidity. That would allow his wing-backs to push forward and test Everton’s flanks, an area the home side have sometimes struggled to protect.

Tahmin

This game feels like a defining moment for both managers. For Moyes, a strong performance could calm the growing discontent among Evertonians, while for Nuno Espírito Santo, a positive start could buy him time to implement his philosophy.

Everton’s home form, combined with West Ham’s ongoing struggles, tips the balance in favour of the Toffees. While Nuno’s arrival might inspire a reaction from the visitors, it is difficult to expect an immediate turnaround. With Everton’s defensive strength at their new stadium and West Ham’s lack of organisation, the most likely outcome is a narrow home win.

Prediction: Everton 2-0 West Ham
