Everton face West Ham with key stats and team news in focus
everton head into the West Ham United match with the numbers pointing to a tight contest, while the latest team news has sharpened attention on Beto’s fitness update and the West Ham trip. The Premier League meeting at the London Stadium comes with recent head-to-head trends, home form, and away form all pulling in different directions. The picture is clear: both sides arrive with reasons for optimism, but little margin for error.
West Ham and Everton arrive with form lines that point both ways
West Ham have won just three of their last 17 Premier League home games against Everton, but two of those wins came in their last four meetings at the London Stadium. Everton, meanwhile, have won more Premier League games against West Ham than against any other side, both overall and away from home.
The last three Premier League meetings between the sides have all finished level, matching the total from the previous 24 matches between them. West Ham have also kept two clean sheets in their last three Premier League home games, the same number they managed across their previous 41 home league matches combined.
Everton arrive with a strong away record this season, having collected 25 Premier League away points. That is their best away return in a season since 2020-21, although they have won only three of their last 15 league games in London.
Beto fitness update and Everton team news for the West Ham trip
The immediate focus for everton is Beto, whose form in 2026 has been striking. In the Premier League in 2026, he has scored seven goals from just 19 shots, a 37% shot conversion rate, and is averaging a goal every 81 minutes. Before 2026, he had scored 12 goals from 111 attempts and averaged a goal every 271 minutes.
That scoring run gives Everton a clear attacking reference point as they prepare for a match that has repeatedly been decided by fine margins. Everton manager David Moyes also brings a notable storyline of his own, having already won away at former club Manchester United earlier this season. The context around this trip to West Ham adds another layer, but the match itself remains the priority.
What the recent numbers say about the matchup
West Ham are unbeaten in their last five Premier League home games, and they have kept clean sheets in their last two league matches. Their last three successive Premier League shutouts came in January 2024, when they put together a run of four.
There is also a striking individual angle in the numbers: Callum Wilson has scored eight goals in his last seven Premier League appearances against Everton. That makes the matchup one to watch as West Ham and everton try to turn recent trends into a result that matters.
With Everton away form, West Ham home resilience, and Beto’s fitness update all in the frame, the fixture arrives with a narrow edge on paper and very little room for calm. The next turn will come on the pitch, where everton will look to turn their scoring numbers and away record into something stronger at the London Stadium.
