Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Liverpool will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Everton.  They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Liverpool's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost.  They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.  

There will be mixed feelings from The Toffees, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've drawn the last 4 of these games in a row.

West Ham United will not be too disheartened with their 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Chelsea who sit 12 places above them in the table.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 31%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Chelsea, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points.   On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home.  Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.  

Results have been poor for West Ham recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.  

With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for West Ham United, Michail Antonio will be looking to add more goals against Everton in this match.
