Manuel Pellegrini's side is in all sort of troubles at the moment losing all four games of the season. The defense is in absolute shambles at the moment conceding ten goals and scoring only two in the process. Though on paper Everton is a better side, they have their injury problems with Coleman expected to be out for two weeks, and their leading goalscorer, Richarlison, still suspended.

Marco Silva knows that this won't be a walk in the park and West Ham will be coming out with all guns blazing looking for their first point of the season. It would be an entertaining match to watch nevertheless.

Prediction: Everton 2 - 1 West Ham United

#10 Southampton vs. Brighton

There is not much to choose from between the two sides regarding performances. Both of them are on four points. Brighton had already won one of their biggest games of the season against Manchester United, and they are more than capable of winning against Mark Hughes's Southampton side who has recently shown glimpses of a good run of form.

Both sides have already met in the Carabao Cup where Southampton beat Brighton. There aren't much injury concerns on both camps and both managers will have a luxury of players to choose from. An exciting Monday night football to look forward to.

Prediction: Southampton 1 - 1 Brighton

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
