Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO’s live coverage of Everton’s match against West Ham United in the Premier League. Everton is in desperate need of a positive result and performance before the international break. The team has not been performing well in their last two outings, resulting in a draw against Fulham and a loss to Southampton. As a result, they have fallen back down the table and are just two points clear of the relegation zone with a tough December schedule ahead.
On the other hand, West Ham has also been struggling, and there are reports suggesting that manager Julen Lopetegui could be on the hot seat if they suffer a defeat against Everton. Despite lavish summer spending, West Ham sits just two points clear of Everton after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Last season, Everton managed to secure a 1-0 win at the London Stadium thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal.
