Hammers to bounce back on home turf
West Ham United take on Everton at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, hoping to build some momentum in preparation for their Europa League quarter final against Lyon.
Everton have looked very concerning under Frank Lampard so far and are a way off securing survival in the Premier League.
The Hammers have a long way to go if they are to secure European competition for next season and David Moyes will be relishing the challenge of going up against his former club.
A draw would be a good result for the Toffees, but the Hammers have been very strong particularly at home in backing up their excellent 2020/21 campaign.
Process
The Hammers have overperformed a touch in both boxes this season, but not concerningly, still a stable process for a side looking to compete for a spot in the top six.
Everton have a three point cushion on the bottom three, having played two games fewer than Watford in 18th place and a win at the London Stadium would take them a long way towards achieving safety.
Lampard’s roots with the Hammers add a little more spice to the occasion, which the Hammers walk in as strong favourites for on Sunday afternoon.
Both sides have a plethora of international players returning to their squads, therefore it would be wise to check on their recoveries and possibly wait for team news in this match before deciding on who to side with.
