Comments and predictions for Everton vs West Ham: Cold victory

Latest Everton vs West Ham team information

David Moyes' complaints about the slow transfer market were further demonstrated when Everton's patchy defence was breached three times by Bournemouth – with Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski and Michael Keane all injured.

Nathan Patterson and Vitalii Mykolenko were forced to play as centre-backs in a back three, but the system quickly collapsed in the second half. Moyes will have a headache if all three centre-backs continue to be absent.

Thierno Barry made his Everton debut and left a positive impression in the final 15 minutes. However, with the team already 3-0 down and lacking in fitness due to a lack of replacements, the French midfielder was unlikely to make a difference.

For West Ham, manager Potter gave El Hadji Malick Diouf his debut in the defeat to Man United. Kyle Walker-Peters – the new recruit who just joined from Southampton on a free transfer – could also have his first game on the opposite flank.

Jarrod Bowen – who finished last season in blistering form (5 goals and 3 assists in his final 6 games) – continued to score against Man United and will likely be at the heart of West Ham's attacking play.

However, Mohammed Kudus has left the club to join Tottenham, and Crysencio Summerville is injured, leaving West Ham severely short in the wing positions – especially if Bowen is drafted in as a striker in this match.

Latest Everton vs West Ham football commentary

After travelling to the US with a string of unimpressive results – a draw at Accrington Stanley and a loss to Blackburn – Everton continued their heavy defeat at Bournemouth last weekend.

The 0-3 loss was a harsh one, especially as Everton played better in the first half. However, serious individual errors in the second half cost David Moyes's team a heavy defeat, just three weeks before the new season begins.

Moyes has been bemoaning the club's lack of transfer activity all summer, with Thierno Barry the only outside addition to an already short-handed squad, while several key players from last season have also departed.

The move for Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich is close to completion, but Malick Fofana is said to have turned down an offer from Everton – leaving the Merseyside club still lacking pace and creativity.

Last season, Moyes made a miracle when he helped Everton finish in 13th place, 23 points clear of the relegation zone, including a series of 3 wins in the final rounds. However, without strong investment, it will be difficult for the team to make further progress this season.

After the match against West Ham, Everton will face Man United in the final friendly in the US, then meet Roma before visiting Leeds United in the opening round of the Premier League.

The next match could be more balanced than the recent defeat, as last season Everton and West Ham drew both matches in the Premier League.

West Ham also suffered defeat over the weekend, losing 2-1 to Man United – hours after Everton played Bournemouth at MetLife Stadium.

However, manager Graham Potter can take some positives from the match, as he is still making the most of pre-season after taking over at West Ham midway through last season without making much of an impact.

Before coming to the US, West Ham beat Grasshoppers 3-1, and if they win this match again, the team's spirit will improve significantly despite just losing to Man United.

West Ham's transfer activity has been slow so far, leaving many fans frustrated, but they still have just over two weeks to go before they kick off the new season against Sunderland.

Potter helped West Ham win two-thirds of the final round last season, giving fans some hope, but everyone remembers that before that was a streak of eight games without a win, leading to the team finishing in a disappointing 14th place.
