Everton v West Ham: Free Tips, Prediction and Odds

David Moyes takes on his former club when Everton host West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Toffees are benefiting from the Scot's return to Goodison Park in the second half of the season and are on an impressive eight-game unbeaten league run as they prepare to face the Hammers, although they have drawn four of those matches.

Graham Potter took over at the London Stadium just two days before Moyes was confirmed as Everton chief again in early January but, in contrast, the Englishman is struggling to make much of a positive impact, winning only three of his nine games in charge, losing five times so far.

Everton to win - 11/10

Everton have been much improved since Moyes' return, but they have been frustrated by a number of draws recently and will be seeking all three points against the Londoners, who were narrowly beaten 1-0 at home by Newcastle United on Monday evening.

Before the Toffees' recent run of four draws and a win they did record three successive victories over Tottenham, Brighton and Leicester City and, at Goodison Park, they have not suffered defeat in the top-flight since a narrow 1-0 loss against Aston Villa in mid-January.

Moyes has picked up where Sean Dyche left off in terms of maintaining a strong defensive foundation, but he has also been able to get more out of the Blues in an attacking sense than his predecessor.

The obvious beneficiary of the new man in charge has been Beto, who scored five goals in four games last month, and he will again be a key weapon for the hosts as they look to get the better of the Irons.

The visitors would also have hoped to have had a new manager bounce when appointing Potter at the start of the year but it's not exactly gone to plan so far.

There have been some good signs and wins over Fulham and, most notably, Arsenal are definite high points of Potter's early reign, but there have still been too many disappointing displays with Monday's 1-0 setback at home to Newcastle being the latest.

The former Brighton and Chelsea boss will need time to get his ideas across and that may mean more short-term frustration, which looks set to continue for his side with another defeat at Goodison.

Under 2.5 goals - 4/6

These two teams have not been involved in too many high-scoring games recently and Saturday's Merseyside clash may well be a cagey affair.

The Blues' last two matches have ended 1-1, against Brentford and Wolves, while the Hammers have beaten Arsenal 1-0 away and seen off struggling Leicester 2-0 at home, as well as losing by a single goal to Brentford and the Magpies in their recent outings.

There seems a fair chance we will not see three goals in this clash considering the reverse fixture in November finished goalless and only one of the last four meetings between the two sides has produced more than two goals.

Beto over 1.5 shots on target - 7/4

Beto has shone for Everton in recent weeks and he looks a forward reborn under Moyes, offering a goal threat, movement and pace to trouble most defences.

The Guinea-Bissau international has already reached double figures for goals in all competitions this season but the target between now and the end of the campaign for the striker will be to get 10 league goals as he currently has six to his name in the top-flight.

And he looks a good option in the shots on target market at 7/4 to see at least two troubling Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola on Saturday.

Beto has had at least two shots on target in each of his last five appearances with a total of 11 in that period and he will be full of confidence going into the game.
