Everton vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Neal Maupay goal breaks deadlock

3 mins: It’s been an energetic start from both teams but nothing of note happening in front of goal as both side jostle to get up the other end of the pitch.

West Ham get the ball rolling at Goodison Park and work the ball over top on the left side where it gets booted away by the Everton defence.

West Ham have lost eight of their 12 Premier League away games in 2022. Only Everton, with nine defeats, have lost more often on the road this calendar year.

The Hammers are the only club not to have scored a first-half goal in the Premier League this season - despite attempting 24 shots on goal - and they have scored only three times in the league.

Everton have not kept a clean sheet in consecutive Premier League games since May 2021, which included a 1-0 win at West Ham.

The Toffees can go winless for seven league games from the start of a season for the first time since 1994/95, when it took them 13 games to register a first victory.

Everton are still waiting for their first win of the season but manager Frank Lampard is remaining patient.

The Toffees have accrued just four points from their six matches, scoring only four times, but Lampard believes changes to personnel made over the summer are yet to take full effect.

Everton bolstered their defence with the signings of of James Tarkowski, Conor Coady and Ruben Vinagre and made significant improvements to the midfield with the arrivals of Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil, Idrissa Gueye and James Garner.

Everton have won 27 of their 52 Premier League matches against West Ham, their best record against any team in the division.

But, the Hammers did the double over Everton in the Premier League last season, winning 1-0 at Goodison Park and 2-1 at the London Stadium.

There’ll be some reaction and a report from Arsenal’s victory coming up but now the focus moves over to Merseyside as Everton host West Ham in an encounter that will have ramifications at the bottom of the table.

Frank Lampard’s men are yet to win this season and sit 17th after four draws. West Ham meanwhile are one spot lower down and David Moyes will be hoping to get his team back to winning ways.
