MATCH FACTS

-

Everton have won more Premier League games (27) and scored more Premier League goals (87) against West Ham than they have vs any other side.

West Ham have won two of their last three Premier League away games against Everton (L1), as many as they had in their previous 21 visits to Goodison Park. They’re looking to win consecutiv­e away league games against the Toffees for the first time since March 1930.

Everton have won all three

of their Premier

League home games so far this season – they last won each of their first four at Goodison Park in a league campaign back in 1978-79 under Gordon Lee.

West Ham are unbeaten in six Premier League matches (W4 D2), with the Hammers last having a longer such run in the competitio­n back in January 2009 (7 games).

Everton have won seven points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other side coming into this weekend’s games.

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-lewin has scored five goals in his last four

appearance­s against West Ham in all competitio­ns – the only team he has netted as many goals against for the Toffees is Newcastle (5).

Andros Townsend has been directly involved in eight goals in nine games in all competitio­ns for Everton – but he has never scored in 14 games against West Ham, more than he’s faced any other side without finding the net.

No player has had more ball carries leading to a shot (12) or a goal (3) than Everton’s Demarai Gray in the Premier League this season. West Ham’s Michail Antonio has also had three ball carries leading to a goal this term.
