The live late afternoon kick off on Tuesday sees West Ham host Everton at Upton Park. Both sides are coming off the back of their finest results of the season, as West Ham beat Fulham on Boxing Day and Everton beat Manchester City last week, and it looks a close game to call. Everton edge the favouritism in the betting with Totesport and are a 13/10 bet, while West Ham are 2/1, and the draw is a tempting 12/5.
West Ham were hugely impressive in coming from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 on Sunday, a win that lifted them off the bottom of the Premier League table and was only their third victory of the season. Carlton Cole showed real poachers instinct to inspire West Ham to victory with two goals and he looks a good bet at 13/2 to score first on Tuesday with Totesport.com. He showed the sort of form that earned him an England call up and links with a transfer to bigger clubs and he could be key as Avram Grant's side look to move away from the relegation zone.
Everton meanwhile have shown improvement of late as well and have moved up to fourteenth in the league. They shocked Manchester City at Eastlands last week and their game against Birmingham was postponed due to the weather at the weekend. They are without Leon Osman and John Heitinga for the trip to Upton Park, but they are boosted by the return of playmaker Mikel Arteta after suspension. Arteta is 5/2 in the betting to score anytime and the influential Spaniard could be worth backing with Totesport as Everton's main set piece taker, or alternatively he is 8/1 to score first.
Neither side are particular fast starters so far this season, with West Ham leading at half time in only 21% of their games and Everton in only 16%. It could be worth a look at the second half having the most goals in the game at evens with Tote, while neither side has been particularly prolific this term and under 2.5 goals in the match is currently 8/11.
Everton are unbeaten in seven matches away from home and with West Ham looking like they have turned a corner so the draw looks good in the betting at an industry best price of 12/5 with Totesport. In fact Everton have drawn nine games already this season and West Ham seven, and the 1-1 draw could be the way to go at 11/2.
