Recent respective form guides
West Ham United's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Hammers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Everton's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Toffees, and 5 goals against.
West Ham Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premiership with a return of just 29 points from their 34 games thus far. Everton find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 54 points they have accumulated from 34 games.
