Toffees look to end 91 year Goodison wait

|

West Ham and Everton have played each other 145 since February 1907

The Hammers have won 41 games, drawn 31 and lost 73 matches.

Everton’s tally of 27 Premier League victories versus West Ham is six more than against any other opponent.

However, West Ham have won three of their past six Premier League matches at Goodison Park, after they were victorious in only two of the previous 19 away meetings.

The Hammers can create a bit of history by winning consecutive away league games against the Toffees for the first time since March 1930 – all 91 years of them!

Both Premier League fixtures last season were won 1-0 by the away team.

Townsend has never scored in 14 games against West Ham – his longest drought against any club.

West Ham have won just once in five league games.

However, the Hammers can equal the club Premier League record of seven consecutive away fixtures unbeaten.

They have kept just two clean sheets in their past 18 league matches.

Manager David Moyes has won only two of his 15 Premier League matches as a manager against Rafael Benitez.

Forward Michail Antonio has been directly involved in eight of West Ham’s 14 Premier League goals this season, with five goals and three assists. It’s a tally bettered only by Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who has nine-goal involvements.

Said Benrahma and Antonio have combined to create a league-high 14 chances for each other this season.
