Everton's Midfield Grit Against West Ham's Stutter
Look, this is a battle for survival, plain and simple. Everton, with their 13 wins, have shown more grit this season than West Ham, who’ve stumbled to just 8 victories. The key matchup is Jarrad Branthwaite against Michail Antonio; Branthwaite’s aerial dominance will be crucial for snuffing out West Ham’s set-piece threat. The Hammers have won only two of their last ten league games, a worrying slide that suggests they're running on fumes. Real talk: Everton’s home advantage at Goodison Park, where they’ve lost only five times, will be the deciding factor.
**Everton 2-1 West Ham.**
