Everton are seventh in the Premier League going into this weekend's fixtures and are yet to be defeated. They only have one win though having drawn three of their fixtures and have a few injury/suspension problems for this home game against West Ham United. The Toffees started their campaign with a 2-2 draw away at Wolverhampton Wanderers but led 2-0 in that match with new signing Richarlison (suspended for this game which is a shame as he scored twice for Brazil in midweek) scoring both goals. Their only league win came 2-1 at home to Southampton and since then they have drawn 2-2 at Bournemouth, twice having the lead and had to come from behind to get a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town. Everton signed a lot of players during the summer but could be without as many as 12 players for this fixture and that includes Walcott and Calvert-Lewin.

West Ham spent £100m during the summer but they are yet to gel and start this game bottom of the table after four straight league defeats. Just two goals scored and ten conceded and they have a tough fixture list coming up so the Hammers look to be in big trouble. They started off their season with a heavy 4-0 defeat at Liverpool and followed that up with a 2-1 home defeat by Bournemouth. Their away woes continued with a 3-1 loss at Arsenal and then lost 1-0 at home to Wolves to a last minute goal. They have won only one of their last eight away league games and conceded at least three goals in six of those matches which is an appalling record. Keep an eye on the team news but Everton should have enough to get a home win here.
