One of West Ham United’s players has made a bold prediction ahead of the Hammers’ Premier League clash against Everton on Saturday.

Sean Dyche’s side are still looking for their first win of 2024 after Brighton and Hove Albion snatched a late equaliser in the Toffees’ previous fixture.

The Hammers head to Goodison Park in slightly indifferent form, although they were impressive during their 4-2 win over Brentford on Monday evening.

Ahead of the clash, one of West Ham’s players is extremely confident.

Michail Antonio guarantees West Ham three points at Everton

Talking on BBC’s The Players channel podcast, Michail Antonio cannot see anything apart from three points for the away side.

“Every time we have played them it’s always been a difficult game. Under Sean Dyche, he is very rigid and hardly concedes any goals,” he said.

The 33-year-old believes the return of Lucas Paqueta will have a big impact on David Moyes’ side.

“I feel confident that the gaffer has his main team back, and when Lucas [Paqueta] has been in the team, we have won the majority of our games,” he added.

“Off that, I can’t see nothing but three points.”

Everton have pulled away from the bottom three, but a win is required to ease the growing tension at Goodison Park.

Sean Dyche is still unsure whether Amadou Onana or Idrissa Gana Gueye will start on Saturday. It’s believed both players are struggling with a groin problem.

“He’s (Gueye) still settling down,” Dyche told the media on Thursday. “Amadou’s got a groin thing similar to Gana, which is just settling down, so we’ll make more of a decision on them tomorrow.”

Having Onana back playing regularly will be huge. The Belgian’s ability to provide strength at both ends of the pitch could help Everton’s goalscoring woes.

The lack of cutting-edge is proving frustrating for the Goodison Park faithful. The likes of Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin need to step up. Both players look incapable of being a consistent source of goals for Dyche’s side.
