Everton form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Goodison Park. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses from Everton's 19 home games.

Everton haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 213 minutes ago. Doucouré scored that one.

The fans are hoping that Everton will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the game against Aston Villa (placed 10th). As you see from the result above, Everton suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Danjuma, who usually features in attack, was the top player for the side in that match, receiving a rating of 7.04 (out of 10). Danjuma dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Fulham (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Everton perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Everton as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Everton has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Everton as they are travelling to their away game against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup. That match is four days after this one.

Everton has scored {0 goals} so far and conceded {1 goals} from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
