West Ham to win and BTTS at 17/5 (William Hill)

West Ham to win 2-1 at 9/1 (bet365)

Michail Antonio to score anytime at 23/10 (SportNation)

With four games of the season remaining, West Ham are still in the running for a top four finish. Few expected that to be the case two or three months ago.

However, if the Hammers are to make their Champions League dream a reality, they need all three points against Everton this weekend.

Thankfully for David Moyes' men, the Toffees are completely out-of-form.
Everton have managed one win from eight games and have slipped to eighth spot in the Premier League standings.

Can Everton stop the rot?

Everton have only managed one win in almost two months. That victory did come against Arsenal however, with the Gunners struggling all season, a lot of shine was taken off that win.

The Toffees followed up their victory at the Emirates with a home defeat to Aston Villa - their fourth defeat in eight games.

Carlo Ancelotti hails ‘fantastic’ Everton forward Richarlison

Can Everton turn things around against West Ham? They certainly have the tools to do so.

History is also on their side with Carlo Ancelotti's men beating the Hammers in five of their last ten head-to-head games.

Goalscorer bets

There are two men to watch in this game. The first is West Ham's Michail Antonio.
The forward recently scored a brace against Burnley and could be a major goal threat this weekend.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the man to watch from an Everton perspective. The England international is sixth in the golden boot race with 15 to his name.
