Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Everton & West Ham United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Everton and West Ham United.
Everton form and stats
Last season, Everton's Carabao Cup journey ended in the quarter-finals.When playing at home in the Premier League, Everton have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 1 games.
A good away victory last time out for Everton, who won 2-1 against Crystal Palace. A strong away win before that one, visiting Fleetwood Town and winning 5-2.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Everton matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and zero defeats (from four games).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Everton, as the Premier League home game vs Brighton & Hove Albion is only three days away.
Early season league goal statistics from Everton's 1 home game: 5 goals, 2 conceded.
West Ham United form and stats
Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
Impressive finishing from Jarrod Bowen (2) and Sébastien Haller secured the home win 4-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 5-1 vs Hull City.
As mentioned above, Ham was the only team on the pitch versus Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ham playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Leicester City.
It's early days yet, but West Ham United has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
