Poor Form
It has been a poor run of form for Everton, who have lost four of their last six matches, conceding 18 goals in that time.

Tough Point
West Ham come into this match on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Leicester, a result that gets David Moyes tenure as manager up and running.
Leicester took an early lead through Marc Albrighton (8), with the poisonous atmosphere at the London Stadium of late never appearing.
The fans stuck with the players though and they got the rewards in the 45th minute when Cheikhou Kouyate equalised for the Hammers.
It's a solid result for both sides, with new managers David Moyes and Claude Puel in need of any points.
