Everton have upper hand in financial mid-table tussle with Hammers
sportingintelligence832.substack.com
By Brian Sears 28 February 2014 Everton will start the weekend 11 points outside the Champions League qualification spots, albeit with a game in hand on fourth-placed Liverpool, and are now outsiders to reach Europe's top table for 2014-15. But their home form and their historical record against Saturday's opponents West Ham both suggest they should prosper on Saturday. They have won eight, drawn three and lost just one of the 12 home league games this season to give them a better home record than any other team in the Premier League outside the current top four. And though West Ham rallied from a woeful patch to win all four of their PL games in February, Everton's head-to-head PL record against the Hammers is better (in total points won) than against any other team. See the table below for Everton's PL record opponent by opponent. Everton have now won their last three Premier League games home and away against West Ham and are undefeated in the last 11 (seven wins, four draws). That last West Ham win in this fixture was on 21 April 2007 with Bobby Zamora scoring the only goal of the game at Upton Park. Our table shows that throughout the Premier League era no other club has provided Everton with more Premier League points than have West Ham and that's in spite of meeting some other clubs plenty more times. Everton can look back on 19 wins over West Ham in 35 games - more than against any other club and the 65 goals scored is also their top haul.
