‘Hard to See any Other Outcome’: Chris Sutton Predicts Result of Everton v West Ham

Pundit Chris Sutton has predicted the outcome of Everton’s game v West Ham on Monday night.

The BBC Sport writer has gone with a 2-0 win for the Toffees, insisting it’s ‘hard to see any other outcome’.

Everton are looking to bounce back after consecutive defeats in all competitions.

A derby defeat was followed by a League Cup exit, with form and results taking a dip following a decent run.

However, Sutton states the Blues should comfortably beat Monday night’s visitors.

He said: “The irony here is that a win for former West Ham boss David Moyes, who their fans wanted to get rid of, could end Graham Potter’s time in charge of the Hammers.

“It’s hard to see any other outcome, to be honest. Everton are still short of a goalscoring striker but they have stacks of creativity and should have more than enough chances.

“My 606 co-host Roman Kemp described the Hill Dickinson Stadium as a fortress last week. I feel like he went a bit early there, but they should still be too strong for West Ham – I am not sure the Hammers have the stomach for a fight.”

MONDAY’S GAME A MUST-WIN FOR MOYES

Everton will once again be without the injured Jarrad Branthwaite, who has yet to recover from a persistent injury.

The Hammers meanwhile will miss the suspended Tomas Soucek, who was linked with a move to Everton last summer.

It is a must win game for David Moyes. Anything other than three points compounds a disappointing week for Evertonians.

A third consecutive loss would derail an otherwise relatively positive period for Everton.

The Blues are yet to lose a competitive game at our new home. Meanwhile, West Ham have won just one game all season.

Graham Potter’s side are second from bottom, with the pressure on the former Brighton boss.
