Your support makes all the difference.It may only be September and five games into the Premier League season, but already this match has been billed as a must-win game for West Ham and their winless manager, Manuel Pellegrini.
Defeats against Liverpool, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Wolves leaves the Hammers rooted to the bottom of the table after spending over £100m in the summer transfer window.
Marco Silva's start at Everton has had a much smoother start to life at his new club than his opponent in the dugout. A win takes them within touching distance of the top-four, but they remain without joint-top scorer Richarlison, who is serving the third game of his suspension after seeing red against Bournemouth.
