Everton vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
New Year’s Day is traditionally a day on which football is played in the Premier League. It will be again this time. Everton and West Ham United are the two teams to play first this year.
Everton:
There is currently plenty of speculation in England about a temporary competition stop now that the highly contagious variant of the corona virus is also affecting more and more clubs. Several games were postponed in the Premier League last week, including the game that Everton originally planned to play against Manchester City on Monday evening. Due to too many infections at Manchester City, that game was canceled. On Friday evening, Everton can get back to work.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team will receive West Ham United at its Goodison Park. Everton is fourth in the Premier League and is six points ahead of West Ham United. The Toffees last came into action on Boxing Day and then recorded a 0-1 victory over Sheffield United. Everton closed the year 2020 with a victory and also hopes to start the new year with a three-pointer. Just like against Sheffield United, Everton also has to miss a lot of players against West Ham United due to injuries, including trendsetters such as Allan and James RodrÃguez. The Brazilian Richarlison is fit again and can immediately count on a starting place in the formation of Ancelotti against West Ham United.
West Ham United:
It has been a busy week for West Ham United. Last Sunday, David Moyes’ team drew 2-2 against Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United played again on Tuesday-evening. The game at Southampton ended in a goalless draw. That in itself was not a bad result for the West London club, because Southampton is doing well in the Premier League and has even taken three points more than. Currently The Hammers are in tenth place and they will not be dissatisfied with that. Especially when you consider that West Ham United fought against relegation for a long time last season.
The balance between West Ham United against Everton is not too positive. The West Londoners managed to turn just three of the last 28 encounters with Everton into a win. West Ham United last won at Goodison Park in 2018. In September, West Ham United went to visit Everton for the last time. That match was lost 4-1, but it must be added that The Hammers had some corona cases at the time and manager Moyes was also forced to quarantine. The 57-year-old Scottish manager was Everton’s trainer between 2002 and 2013 and is eager to achieve a result at Goodison Park on this first day of 2021. West Ham United has a reasonably fit selection, as only Arthur Masuaku is missing.
