Everton are looking to extend their recent unbeaten run in the English Premier League as they host West Ham at Goodison Park on March 15, 2025. Africa Football editor Bill Eshun looks into the upcoming clash.
Key Facts
- The Toffees are unbeaten in their last eight league games.
- West Ham have recorded three consecutive draws.
Match Overview
Everton started the campaign as one of the favourites for relegation. But with 10 matches to go, David Moyes’ side sit 16 points above the drop zone, thanks mainly to their improved form over the last eight games, where they have recorded four wins and four draws.
West Ham United find themselves in a similar position to Everton and need just a few more points to secure survival for another season.
Kudus’ Goal Drought a Concern
Mohammed Kudus has now gone 11 league games without finding the net—the longest drought he has had since joining the Hammers last season. At times, he has looked like a player lacking confidence, but his quality remains unquestionable, as he is still one of the best dribblers in Europe.
With the international break set to begin next week, Kudus will be hoping to head into camp with a goal to his name and a smile on his face.
