Match Preview: Can Everton Continue Their Unbeaten Streak?
Everton have been rock solid in recent weeks, boasting an impressive eight-game unbeaten run. However, their last three matches—against Manchester United, Brentford, and Wolves—ended in draws, leaving fans eager for a full three points this time around.
On the other hand, West Ham’s recent form has been more of a rollercoaster. While they managed back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Leicester City, their momentum took a hit with a narrow 1-0 loss to Newcastle. They’ll be eager to bounce back, but facing a defensively stubborn Everton side won’t make it easy.
This matchup could be a game of patience, with both teams missing key attacking players. Everton have struggled to field a consistent forward line due to injuries, while West Ham have also found goals hard to come by in recent matches.
Prediction: A Tight Contest on the Cards?
Given the current form and injuries on both sides, this one has all the makings of a closely fought battle. Everton’s defensive solidity might frustrate West Ham’s attack, while the Irons will likely try to exploit any gaps in transition.
We don’t often see goalless draws in the Premier League, but this could be a cagey affair with few clear-cut chances. Our prediction? A hard-fought 1-1 draw, with both teams settling for a point as they continue their push up the table.
What do you think? Will Everton keep their unbeaten streak alive, or will West Ham edge them out for a crucial win? Let us know your thoughts as the action unfolds at Goodison Park!
