Comments, predictions West Ham United vs Everton: Important turning point

Two under-pressure managers will go head-to-head in a must-win Premier League clash on Saturday, when Sean Dyche leads Everton to the capital to face Julen Lopetegui's West Ham United at the London Stadium.

The West Ham boss is now the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post, following last week's humiliating defeat at the City Ground.

Latest West Ham United vs Everton squad information

Mohammed Kudus will be a major absentee for the hosts, after the Ghanaian had his suspension extended to five games for his conduct against Spurs, which resulted in a red card for violent conduct.

Lopetegui will also be without Edson Alvarez, who was sent off against Forest last week after two yellow cards, meaning Guido Rodriguez is unlikely to be dropped due to a lack of options in midfield, after he was substituted at half-time last week.

Niclas Fullkrug will remain out for several more weeks, and Lopetegui confirmed his side currently have some "small problems", possibly referring to Tomas Soucek and goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, who have been absent for the entire last week through illness and injury.

After being criticised for benching Jarrad Branthwaite in the last two games, Dyche is likely to bring the highly-coveted centre-back back into the squad, but whether he will replace Michael Keane or James Tarkowski remains unclear, given Tarkowski's worrying form.

Seamus Coleman is Everton's latest injury concern, after suffering a hamstring problem this week, while Abdoulaye Doucoure could return sooner than expected after missing the defeat at Southampton.

There have been growing calls for Dyche to hand Beto a starting opportunity after two promising substitute appearances, combined with Dominic Calvert-Lewin's poor form, but after keeping faith with his first-choice striker throughout last season's goal drought, replacing him looks unlikely.

Latest football commentary West Ham United vs Everton

West Ham have not gone such a long period without a clean sheet at home since the mid-1960s, and their recent improvement in results against Everton suggests they could end that run.

Everton used to be a tough team for West Ham, but Moyes was a regular nightmare for his former team, contributing to a run of five wins in the last eight meetings - as many as West Ham had won in the previous 30 encounters.

After a humiliating defeat to bottom-placed Southampton last week, Everton fans' patience with Dyche is running out.

Despite great respect for what he has done under difficult circumstances over the past two years, fans have begun to turn their backs on the team, especially due to the slow and defensive style of play that has often been displayed.

Everton were lucky to take a point against Fulham a fortnight ago, and although they, and Beto in particular, were unlucky last weekend at St Mary's, they didn't do enough to win before succumbing to a late defeat.

That result has made for a rather disappointing run of form for the club, as they have lost four of their last five games against teams bottom of the Premier League.

Along with Southampton, the remaining three bottom teams all picked up points over the weekend, leaving Everton closer to the relegation zone, but they will at least avoid that fate before the international break, regardless of the result of this game, as the gap between them and Ipswich is now four points.

Despite winning at this stadium last season, away results in general and recent clashes with West Ham have not given Everton fans much hope.

Last month's win at Portman Road remains their only away win in the Premier League in 2024, so if Everton are to add to their away wins they will be hoping to find form against West Ham, the team they have beaten more times in the Premier League than any other - 29.

Everton fans will know how difficult a trip to London can be, and they have lost their last three games in the capital, conceding 12 goals against Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, although West Ham have been easier opponents in the past.

Almost a third of Everton's 40 away Premier League wins have come against West Ham, and their tally of 13 is their highest away win tally against a single opponent in the competition. West Ham's recent positive results have largely come at home, while Everton have a reputation for having one of the worst away records in the Premier League.

Conceding Southampton their first win of the season last week showed that, whatever the form of their opponents, Everton rarely look convincing, and against opponents they have struggled against in recent years, a worrying result could be on the cards and help ease the pressure on Lopetegui as the home manager.
