West Ham United travel to Merseyside to take on Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Everton will be rejuvenated after taking four points from the 10 points they were originally deducted, so West Ham players will need to be 100% if they want to take all three points this weekend.
David Moyes will still harbour real ambitions of finishing in the top seven of the Premier League standings this season, and so he should.
Everton can definitely be beaten, and if we start the game with a good performance, there is no reason why we cannot go to Goodison Park and win.
It seems that Everton might not be strong enough…
Everton’s injury problems ahead of West Ham
Sean Dyche spoke to reporters this afternoon ahead of Saturday’s big Premier League game.
The Toffees boss hinted that two of his key midfielders – Idrissa Gueye and Amadou Onana – are facing late fitness tests ahead of the game, according to Everton’s official website:
“[Gana] is still settling down and Ama [Onana] has got a groin thing, similar to Gana’s, which is just settling down, so we’ll make more of a decision on them tomorrow.”
Everton fans will be praying that both players will be fit for the game, as it will be a big blow for them if they are unavailable.
I really hope that the West Ham players will impose themselves on Everton this weekend and actually start the game on the attack, just like we did against Brentford on Monday.
We have enough players to do that, so I hope Moyes follows the plan of beating the Bees. And if the Toffees are without Gueye and Onana, our chances of winning will increase exponentially.
