It’s Monday Night Football with two clubs desperate for points but heading in opposite directions. Everton have finally found some backbone at home, unbeaten and yet to concede at their new stadium. West Ham? They’re bottom three, leaking goals, and haven’t won on a Monday in their last three attempts. David Moyes returns to face his old club — but will it be a happy homecoming or another Hammers disaster?
Things to Watch Out For
- Moyes vs Everton – The Scotsman has been in the dugout for all five of the last Goodison/Hill Dickinson clashes (once with Everton, four with West Ham). His record? Not great.
- West Ham’s Everton Problem – Since 2021, the only team they’ve lost to more than Everton is Wolves. The Toffees are becoming their bogey side.
- Monday Blues – West Ham are winless in their last three Monday league games, losing all of them. Not exactly a start-of-the-week vibe.
- Toffee Fortress – Everton haven’t conceded a Premier League goal yet at Hill Dickinson. Beat Brighton, drew Villa. Another clean sheet, and history beckons.
- Home Struggles Under Moyes – Everton have lost just 2 of their last 12 league home games since Moyes returned. That solidity might be enough to edge this one.
Win Probability
- Everton: 57%
- Draw: 24%
- West Ham: 19%
The stats point Everton. The form points Everton. Even Monday night tradition points Everton.
Standings Check
- Everton: 11th place (7 points, steadying themselves mid-table).
- West Ham: 19th place (3 points, four defeats in five, relegation alarm bells already ringing).
West Ham need a win to climb out of the bottom, but Everton see this as a must-win to stay clear of the scrap.
