Prediction: 1-1
West Ham
Everton will be looking to record their first league win of the year when they take on West Ham United at their Goodison Park. The Toffees are eager to escape the danger zone, but they face a difficult task against the capital club. Important midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye should be fit for Saturday’s clash, while all Arnaut Danjuma, Dele Alli, and Andre Gomes remain in the recovery room.
The Hammers, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Brentford and they managed to get one. David Moyes’ troops have regained a much-needed confidence, with Jarrod Bowen scoring a hat-trick. As fit-again Jamaica striker Michail Antonio should be recalled to the starting XI, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. David Moyes has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Goodison Park outfit.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Soucek):

Highlighted Team (Everton):
Everton are one of the two Merseyside giants that were formed back in 1878, with the club holding a long-standing rivalry with Liverpool. Everton have participated in the English top flight for a record 113 seasons, with the team competing in the English second tier in just four campaigns.
The Toffees play their home matches at Goodison Park, the stadium that was opened in 1892. Everton have won the national championship nine times, with the team winning their last domestic trophy back in 1987.
The Toffees have clinched five FA Cup trophies as well and it has to be noted that a victory over Manchester United in the 1994/1995 FA Cup final helped the team win their last title in the prestigious competition. Everton and Liverpool face each other in the Merseyside derby and the clash between the two local rivals has been called the Merseyside derby since 1955.
In the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign Everton were hammered by Liverpool (0-4) at Anfield.
