West Ham as they prepare to host Everton at London's iconic Olympic Stadium this coming Sunday, October 29.
Following their participation in the Europa League midweek, the Irons are set to switch their focus back to Premier League action, aiming to get back on track after a series of disappointing results.
With no wins in their recent three matches, including an alarming 2-2 draw against Newcastle and painful losses to Aston Villa (4-1) and Olympiacos (2-1), concerns are mounting for the Hammers.
The team has been out-shot 116-72 in open play and the gap between expected goals against (xGA) is widening by 4.04 goals. Their recent record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses post their initial 3 wins and 1 draw run signals the need for an urgent revival.
Everton, on the other hand, presents its own intriguing narrative. Managed by Sean Dyche, the Toffees have found themselves in a peculiar position, underachieving their expected goals (xG-G) by a surprising -8.66. This discrepancy is a significant factor preventing them from climbing higher than their current 16th position, despite accumulating seven points so far.
The recent narrow defeat in the Merseyside derby adds to Everton's woes. However, they are well aware that West Ham might still be feeling the effects of their trip to Greece and will be keen to exploit any signs of fatigue. The question remains: can Everton capitalize on this situation and deliver a blow to their former manager, David Moyes?
To catch this thrilling encounter between West Ham and Everton, the match is scheduled to kick off at 9am ET on Sunday, October 29.
