Everton vs West Ham Preview prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Toffees have still not lost a game in their new stadium, while the Hammers have just won one game in the Premier League so far.
Everton welcome West Ham United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium in a contest that matters to both clubs for different reasons. David Moyes’ men have started the campaign steadily, sitting in 10th place and proving tough for opponents who expect an easier path. Their balance between defence and attack helps them compete against stronger opposition, while their home confidence makes them harder to beat.
By contrast, West Ham manager Graham Potter has left his job, as their place near the bottom of the table shows their poor form. They have lost four of their five league games and conceded 13 goals, which shows their defence is fragile and highlights their lack of consistency. Graham Potter had won only six of 25 matches, which intensified the scrutiny, and another setback will push the Hammers closer to crisis.

Players to watch out for:

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham):

Injuries and Team News:
Everton approach their Premier League clash with key players missing. The first concern is Jarrad Branthwaite, who has yet to play this season after aggravating a hamstring problem in pre-season.
He remains out of contention. In addition, Merlin Röhl misses out again, as a groin issue has sidelined him for the last two matches and keeps him unavailable.
On the other hand, West Ham travel without key names, starting with Tomáš Souček. He serves the second game of a three-match suspension after his red card against Tottenham.
Furthermore, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is unavailable with a stomach issue, while Luis Guilherme remains out with a shoulder injury.

Match Prediction:
Everton enter this fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with confidence, as their steady start to the season gives them belief and momentum. They look organised, comfortable in possession, and difficult to unsettle. The advantage of playing at their new home strengthens their position.
Meanwhile, West Ham arrive struggling, and their defensive record leaves them exposed. They have already lost four of their first five league matches, and this result puts heavy pressure on the players and staff. Given the contrast in form and stability, Everton look well placed to secure a home victory.
