Everton vs West Ham Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: 30th September, 2025

Kick-Off Time: 7 AM GMT

Venue: Hill Dickinson Stadium

In a mutual quest to earn a much-needed three points, Everton welcomes West Ham United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 30th September, 2025. While the hosts aim for a better position at the table, the Hammers need to climb from the bottom three positions at the table.

Moyes' men have begun this season on a positive note. They have been tough competition for the top clubs and are the rightful holders of the 12th position of the league table. On the other hand, things have started to go downhill for West Ham. Following a disappointing start to the campaign, the club just saw the departure of Graham Potter.

Both teams have met each other on 59 different occasions before. In these 59 meetings, Everton have won 29 games while West Ham United have been the rightful victors on 14 different occasions.

David Moyes is just 90 minutes away from making history as Everton have never begun a Premier League season with three back-to-back home clean sheets at Goodison Park. However, it won't be an easy task as Nuno Espirito Santo will now steer the ship of West Ham United.

Everton News

There are quite a few marquee names missed in this fixture. Merlin Rohl is out with his groin concern and is not expected to be a feature of the team for a while now. Jarrad Branthwaite is also out of the squad due to a thigh injury.

However, the starting lineup will change massively from their last game against Wolves this midweek. After Grealish's consistent contributions, he is expected to start. He will be joined by the likes of Beto, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, and others.

West Ham News

West Ham would miss out on Soucek as the player will serve the two-match ban. Wan-Bissaka is also expected to be unavailable.

Walker-Peters and Diouf will retain their spots at the backline. The same can be said for Fernandes and Magassa. While Fullkrug's starting the game is still guesswork, Bowen and Paqueta will certainly be a feature of the starting XI against the Toffees.

Key players to watch in Everton vs West Ham

Jack Grealish (Everton)

Jack Grealish has found his rhythm and football back at Everton. The Englishman has joined the Toffees on loan from Man City. Ever since his first game for Everton, Grealish has been pivotal at the left flank. From his quality dribbles to the box to his quick playmaking during counterattacks, he has been influential in Everton's strong start this season. In the seven games he has played so far, he has managed to bag four assists. If West Ham wants to stop the relentless Everton attacks, it need to have an answer for Grealish.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)

For Everton, their biggest concern is Jarrod Bowen. The 28-year-old has the explosiveness and tactical understanding of the game to punish Everton for their smallest mistakes.

The Englishman has been pivotal for West Ham ever since he joined from Hull City. So far this season, Bowen has had three direct contributions for West Ham in six matches. He has scored two goals and bagged an assist. Tarkowski and co. needs an answer for Jarrod Bowen.

Everton vs West Ham Prediction

West Ham will surely have a better structure in their team as Espirito Santo has been assigned for the job to ensure a better finish at the Premier League table. However, this is his first game of the season as the West Ham manager.

On the other hand, Moyes has been in great form this season. Everton has showcased grit so far in the season. Defeating the Toffees at their own soil with their fans backing them won't be an easy task for the Hammers.

The Hammers are yet to find defensive discipline at the back. This certainly won't be the fixture where they achieve that. While we expect a close battle, we can see Everton seeing the game off with a lead.

Predicted Score: Everton 2-1 West Ham United.
