West Ham United
There are two ways of viewing the point picked up at Crystal Palace on Monday- some will believe that West Ham United gained another valuable point in their bid to avoid relegation, while others are certainly going to feel the host was there to be beaten and The Hammers have missed out on a big opportunity. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo looked content enough at the end of the fixture with another clean sheet and a positive result and it does keep momentum behind his West Ham United team.
They remain 17th in the Premier League table, but another game has been ticked off and West Ham United remain 2 points clear of Tottenham Hotspur in the bottom three. A 4-4-8 record at the London Stadium has seen West Ham United score 22 goals and concede 28.
West Ham United have lost 1 of the last 5 Premier League games played and they have picked up 8 points from a possible 15 to turn the screw on rivals Tottenham Hotspur in this relegation battle. The side had not won any of the previous 5 home games in all competitions, but West Ham United came through a nervy period to crush Wolves 4-0 last time out at the London Stadium.
The squad that travelled to Selhurst Park should be available to the manager for this one.
Everton
You could see the devastation on the faces of the Everton players when conceding in the 100th minute of the Merseyside derby, but David Moyes will be keen to pick them up and get them ready for the final month of the season. Despite the defeat, Everton are still in a position to challenge for a spot in European Football and that has been the aim set out by the manager all season.
The Toffees dropped down to 10th in the Premier League standings, but they remain a single point behind the top six places and so there is plenty for the squad to play for. It is the 7-4-5 away record that has been key to Everton's season so far and they have scored and conceded 18 goals in those matches.
Everton had lost 1 of the previous 5 Premier League games and looked to be at least extending that run deep into injury time with the scores level against rivals Liverpool. Instead they have suffered a second defeat in the last 6 Premier League outings. Everton have been beaten in 1 of the last 8 away Premier League fixtures and they have won half of those matches played.
Beto suffered a head injury last weekend and has to be considered a doubt. Jarrad Branthwaite also suffered an injury and could be ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Head to Head
These two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Hill Dickinson Stadium earlier this season.
The last 9 fixtures hosted by West Ham United against Everton have ended with 3 wins each.
Prediction
Wins for Leeds United and Nottingham Forest last weekend has given both clubs some breathing room, but West Ham United may be pretty satisfied with the point they earned in their own bid to avoid the drop.
The goalless draw at Selhurst Park keeps the squad in a positive frame of mind, but this is another big game for West Ham United.
A win would put a lot of pressure on Tottenham Hotspur, but Nuno Espirito Santo is experienced enough to keep the players focused on themselves and not worry about other teams. The 4-0 win over Wolves in the last fixture here is a huge boost as West Ham United return to the London Stadium, but they have not always found it easy in front of the home supporters and this looks a difficult opponent to face.
David Moyes is very familiar with the surroundings as he brings Everton to East London, and his team are still playing with the motivation of wanting to bring European Football to Hill Dickinson Stadium. Fns of West Ham United will tell you what Moyes can do in the competitions outside of the Champions League and Everton will also be desperate to bounce back from the heartbreaking defeat in the Merseyside derby.
They played well last Sunday, but Everton have struggled for consistency in the final third and that has been evident in away games, despite the solid enough record put together. Only 18 away goals have been scored this season, although Everton have not given a lot away and there is every chance that the points are going to be shared again.
The last 3 Premier League games between these clubs have ended with the points split and this is another where there looks to be very little between them.
Out of the two teams, it does look like Everton are being priced as if they 'don't need' the points as much as West Ham United and the lean is with David Moyes' men if there is going to be a winner.
However, the home team are battling at the moment and the fact that the 5 games played at the London Stadium before the win over Wolves had all ended in West Ham United draws means the play here is to back the teams to shake hands on a point apiece.
