Mansion Sports – The Premier League 2025/2026 is intensifying with a highly anticipated encounter between Everton and West Ham United. 

This match carries special significance as it reunites David Moyes, the former West Ham manager who now leads Everton, with Nuno Espírito Santo, the newly appointed head coach of the Irons. 

The game is set to be played at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, 29 September 2025 at 20:00 local time.

Before the whistle blows, here is a closer look at the condition of both sides ahead of the clash, along with the predicted lineups for Everton vs West Ham United 2025.

Everton: Determined to Regain Momentum at Home

Everton started the campaign strongly with three consecutive victories, but their progress has since stalled, as they enter this fixture winless in their last three matches. 

A disappointing elimination from the EFL Cup at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers added to earlier frustrations, which included a narrow Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool and a goalless draw against Aston Villa.

Nevertheless, Everton’s home form remains formidable. The Toffees have yet to concede a single goal in front of their supporters this season. 

Should they extend that run, Everton will join Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur as the only Premier League clubs to keep three consecutive clean sheets at home in their debut season at a new stadium.

For David Moyes, the occasion presents an opportunity to achieve a historic milestone while simultaneously placing pressure on Nuno Espírito Santo, who is still in the early days of his stewardship at West Ham.

West Ham: Entering a New Chapter with Nuno Espírito Santo

West Ham approach the contest amid turbulence, following a difficult start to the season that culminated in the dismissal of Graham Potter. 

The former manager managed only one win in five Premier League fixtures, with a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace marking the breaking point. 

Despite Jarrod Bowen briefly drawing the score level, Tyrick Mitchell’s late strike sealed defeat and heightened frustration.

Now, the responsibility falls to Nuno Espírito Santo, who faces the challenge of steadying the Irons. Encouragingly, West Ham have a positive recent record against Everton, having won three of their last five Premier League visits to the Toffees’ home ground.

Since 2021, only Wolverhampton Wanderers have been beaten more frequently by West Ham than Everton.

• Defensive Midfielders: Garner, Gueye
• Attacking Midfielders: Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish

Everton remain without Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl due to injuries, but the rest of the squad is fully available. Jack Grealish continues to draw attention with his creativity, having already produced 13 chances this season.

• Defenders: Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf

Conclusion

This meeting between Everton and West Ham is more than just another league fixture. Moyes is determined to restore Everton’s momentum and prove his side’s resilience, while Espírito Santo seeks to deliver a promising start to his tenure with West Ham.

With both teams motivated and history adding further intrigue, this clash has the potential to be one of the standout encounters of the Premier League’s sixth week. 

The key question remains: will Everton extend their flawless defensive record at home, or will West Ham usher in their new era with a surprise victory? The answer awaits on the pitch.
