Everton, managed by Sean Dyche, is not losing many games but cannot win any. Despite not kicking a ball this week, they are four points ahead of the competition.
While the appeals process has reduced the 10-point punishment to six, the Merseysiders are still facing challenges, and West Ham seems to be an excellent bet to continue putting pressure on David Moyes’s old team.

Betting tips: Everton x West Ham
Check out our predictions of the day for Everton vs. West Ham
Prediction 1: Everton x West Ham / Draw or West Ham and under 3.5 goals
Even if they’re tough to defeat, Everton must win more to secure a spot in the Premier League.
Regardless, they last won a league game in mid-December, so they’re too short as heavy favorites to host West Ham.
Their defense could be more robust, so they’re simple to beat. On Monday, West Ham scored again, this time from Jarrod Bowen, in a 4-2 victory against Brentford.
A fully-fit Lucas Paqueta is a significant weapon as former Toffees boss David Moyes attempts to orchestrate a drive for the European spots, and his return from injury occurred at the same time as the long-overdue victory of the Hammers.
West Ham will want to catch Everton off guard by playing a high-pressing defense style; only Nottingham Forest scored more goals from set pieces this season than the Hammers.
Prediction 2: Everton x West Ham / Under 2.5 goals
Regardless, a low-scoring game could be in the cards. West Ham have scored eight goals in their past nine games, but Everton have managed only six in their last nine league games, with five featuring less than three goals. My money is on the under-2.5 goal line for Saturday’s matchup since that happened in six of the last seven meetings between these teams.
Prediction 3: Everton x West Ham / Full time draw
While recent victories have been hard to come by for both teams, they have shared the spoils on many occasions. In their past six games, Everton have drawn five times, and both finished in a tie. In the same time frame, West Ham have drawn four times out of nine games and also had two 1-1 draws. This game should end in another 1-1 draw.
