• Everton are winless in their last three matches in all competitions, losing the last two

• West Ham occupy 19^th in the Premier League table

• Recommended bet: Everton to win to nil

Everton began the season well by winning three of their opening four matches in all competitions but since the 3-2 victory over Wolves at the end of August, they have gone three games without a win.

The Toffees have an ideal chance to end that run on Monday evening though as struggling West Ham go into the game, having sacked Graham Potter on Saturday after just eight months in charge.

Nuno Espirito Santo was quickly installed as the new man in charge of the Hammers but has little time to make an impact ahead of his first game at the helm.

The Irons have lost five of their first six games of the campaign, with a surprise 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest the only plus point so far.

Team news

David Moyes will be without defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who is not quite ready to return to the squad due to a thigh injury.

Merlin Rohl will also be missing due to groin issue, but aside from that, Moyes has a clean bill of health.

For West Ham, Tomas Soucek will be absent as he completes his two-game ban, while defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is still recovering from a stomach issue.

Those two are the only absentees for the Monday evening clash against the Toffees.

The stats

Last season, both matches between these two clubs were drawn. Everton have not defeated West Ham since October 2023, but Monday could be their best chance to end this slump against the Irons.

The Toffees have hardly been free-flowing in the final third, scoring just six goals across their opening five league matches. Defensively, however, Moyes’ men have been solid, conceding only five times.

After three matches at their new home, Everton have won twice and are yet to concede a goal.

West Ham have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, conceding a staggering 13 goals in just five matches. They may have scored as many goals as Everton, but the home side will target a poor backline.

Both teams have scored in only three of the previous 10 matches between the two. Furthermore, five of those games were decided by a single goal.

Prediction 

Everton lost the Merseyside derby last weekend, but they did not play too badly, registering nine shots in that game on the road against the champions, and they must take the positives into Monday evening.

With Santo looking likely to be in the dugout for the match, the Irons could enjoy that new manager bounce, but no visiting team has even scored at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, let alone win.

Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Grealish could be crucial for Everton, with the former having scored twice in the Premier League so far, while the England forward has registered four assists in just five matches.

A victory would see the Merseyside outfit vault up the league table into seventh at least and enable them to bounce back from a poor recent run. As such, a narrow home win looks like the most likely outcome.
