Summary:

Statistically these teams are not far apart especially offensively. West Ham is off to a very disappointing start considering the attacking power they possess.  West Ham has really struggled defensively conceding the second most goals thus far.  Everton should be able to expose the holes in the West Ham defense with ease and look for Lukaku to have a goal or two.  I like Everton to easily win this one at home.
