# BBC Sport pundit reveals why he thinks West Ham won’t beat Everton

- **West Ham host Everton tomorrow in the Premier League**
- **It ended 1-1 the last time these two met earlier in the season**
- **The Hammers could move five points clear of the bottom three**

West Ham United host Everton in the Premier League tomorrow, looking to open up the gap between them and the bottom three. The Hammers are coming off a [0-0 draw with Crystal Palace](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/20/crystal-palace-0-0-west-ham-premier-league/) but remain confident they [can extend their two point advantage](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/22/west-ham-survival-situation-gamweek-33/) over [Tottenham Hotspur](https://readtottenham.com/) tomorrow.

[Nuno Espirito Santo’s team](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/23/west-ham-vs-everton-nuno-pre-match/) remain full of confidence, but [the visit of Everton](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/23/west-ham-vs-everton-preview-prediction-premier-league/) presents a new test. The Toffees may be coming off the back of a difficult Merseyside derby defeat but remain in contention for Europe this season.

Not only that but [David Moyes](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/24/jamie-carragher-west-ham-vs-everton-david-moye/), now [Everton](https://readeverton.com/) manager, is return to [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) and will no doubt want to get one over his former side. Both team’s still have a lot at stake, making things all that harder for the Irons.

## Chris Sutton predicts West Ham vs Everton

The last time these two teams met,[it ended 1-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/23/head-tohead-west-ham-vs-everton/). Michael Keane opened the scoring in the first-half, before [Jarrod Bowen](https://readwestham.com/2026/04/21/chelsea-lead-race-for-west-ham-jarrod-bowen/) netted in the second to secure a point for the Hammers in Nuno’s first game in charge.

In his usual prediction column for [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4gxd39xyr0o), Chris Sutton has said that [West Ham](https://whufc.com/en) won’t win tomorrow and has outlined why.

*“What a great game this will be, with Everton boss David Moyes going back to his old club.*

*“We know how big a win would be for West Ham in their relegation fight but I was impressed by Everton against Liverpool, especially Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s performance.*

*“I thought the Hammers’ point at Palace last time out was a decent result, but the pressure is still on them to win this one at home.*

*“I am expecting West Ham to play with the kind of intensity that is required but Everton can be a tough nut to crack.*

*“It finished 1-1 when these two sides met earlier in the season, and this smells of another draw to me.”*
