West Ham is set to visit Goodison Park with the goal of reviving their waning European football ambitions against a struggling Everton team in the upcoming Saturday’s Premier League match.
Everton vs West Ham United Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)
The Premier League’s decision to reduce the initial ten-point penalty imposed on the Merseysiders to six points, following a successful appeal, brought some good news to Goodison Park on Monday. This has given the club a much-needed confidence boost in their fight to avoid relegation.
Everton’s tally was boosted by four points without them even having to play, aiding their escape from the danger zone. They jumped to a comfortable 15th position, surpassing Nottingham Forest and Brentford. However, Sean Dyche’s team needs to regain the momentum they had at the start of December when they secured four back-to-back victories without conceding any goals.
Expecting a revival from the Toffees seems difficult, considering their form has significantly declined for some time now. Their last Premier League success traces back to mid-December, and recently they’ve become experts at drawing matches, achieving five draws in their last six games.
The hosts for this Saturday’s match could potentially fall short of maximum points for the tenth consecutive game. They are set to face West Ham, a team currently seven ranks ahead of them. West Ham has recently regained their confidence after defeating Brentford in an impressive 4-2 victory, thereby ending their disappointing six-game streak without a win (D3, L3).
Remarkably, David Moyes’ team has at last unleashed their powerful offensive after a long dry spell. They have breached the Bees’ defence more times than in their previous six top-tier matches combined. This suggests they should stick to their bold, attacking approach as they aim for their first away victory in the new year.
Lucas Paqueta’s comeback has added another dimension to the Hammers’ frontline, making them a formidable force, and it’s hard to envision how off-color Everton could throw them off balance. Furthermore, Goodison Park has proven to be fertile ground for West Ham in recent years, as they have extracted two triumphs from their last three visits to that turf, instilling us with full confidence that the East Londoners will walk away with some points from Saturday’s away fixture.

The seasoned Senegalese midfielder Idrissa Gueye will undergo assessment ahead of Saturday’s Premier League action after being withdrawn early in the second half of the 1-1 draw against Brighton due to a groin injury.
As Dele Alli and Arnaut Danjuma remain out of action, the progress of LOSC Lille loanee Andre Gomes in training suggests he might soon be available for selection, though he might still miss some upcoming league games.

West Ham United team news
Interestingly, during Lucas Paqueta‘s absence due to a calf injury, the Hammers endured a dry spell, failing to secure a win in six matches, but as soon as the Brazilian returned, West Ham showcased their prowess by dismantling Brentford 4-2.
With a full complement of players at his disposal, David Moyes takes his West Ham side to Goodison Park with a squad that’s firing on all cylinders, devoid of any injury worries or suspensions, as Kalvin Phillips has served his one-match ban.
