West Ham-Everton Statistical Preview

 Team News

 West Ham

James Collins misses out through suspension following his straight red in the 2-0 defeat at Watford last weekend.
Winston Reid is expected to come into the side and partner James Tomkins at the heart of the defence having recovered from a back problem, though Angelo Ogbonna is an option for Slaven Bilic.
Diafra Sakho misses out with a thigh injury, meaning Andy Carroll will keep his place up top, while Alexandre Song is sidelined.
 Everton
Bryan Oviedo was forced off with a hamstring problem early on in the 6-2 win over Sunderland and will miss out here.
Tom Cleverley, Muhamed Besic and Leighton Baines are among those who may miss the trip to Upton Park, but Steven Pienaar and Tony Hibbert have both been ruled out of the trip to Upton Park.
Phil Jagielka will certainly sit this one out with a knee problem that could sideline him until the New Year.

Prediction

West Ham's fine form was ended at Watford on Saturday, with the Hammers succumbing to just their third defeat of the season last weekend. In front of their own fans where they are unbeaten in three, the Hammers have every right to be confident of putting the 2-0 loss to the Hornets behind them.
Everton meanwhile bounced back from back-to-back league defeats with a comprehensive 6-2 thumping of Sunderland on Sunday. The Toffees have lost just one of their five away games this season and will hope to secure successive league wins when they travel to Upton Park this weekend.
West Ham have lost four of their last five league meetings with Everton at Upton Park, though a draw is on the cards here.
