  1. West Ham v Everton: Pick of the statspublished at 13:45 25 October 2023

    • West Ham have won four of their last six Premier League games against Everton (L2), more than they had in their previous 24 (W3 D7 L14).

    • Everton have won more Premier League away games against West Ham than they have against any other opponent (12). However, they've lost their last two league visits to the Hammers, last losing three in a row between 1971 and 1974.

    • West Ham have lost just three of their last 14 Premier League home games (W7 D4), with those all coming against clubs that finished in the top-five last season (1-5 v Newcastle, 1-2 v Liverpool, 1-3 v Man City).

    • West Ham have scored in each of their last 11 Premier League games, including all nine this season. Only in 2015-16 have they ever scored in each of their first 10 games from the start of a Premier League campaign.

    • Against no side has Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored more goals against than West Ham (5). His next goal in the Premier League will be his 50th – he’d be the fourth player to reach that milestone for the Toffees after Romelu Lukaku (68), Duncan Ferguson (60) and Tim Cahill (56).

    The mother of a cancer patient who was helped by the late Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has paid tribute to him.

    Nicola Nuttall told BBC Radio 5 Live of how she wrote a letter to Kenwright during her campaign to raise money for her daughter Laura’s brain cancer treatment.

    Kenwright donated the £50,000 Laura needed overnight. She sadly died aged 23 in May, five years after her diagnosis.

    Nicola, an Everton fan, said Kenwright wanted to do what he could, regardless of publicity.

    "When we ran out of treatment options in the UK for Laura, I was trying to raise money with the family to go to Germany for treatment. I sent Bill a letter asking if there’s any way he could help.

    "I was sending letters off here there and everywhere; £50,000 was what we were short and it takes a lot to raise that kind of money.

    "I was coming home from work one evening and he phoned up and had a conversation. He asked how much we were short, I said £50,000 and he said 'it’ll be in your account tomorrow'.

    "It was incredible. It was not about going public in any way. He just wanted to help people.

    "You can judge a person by what they do when nobody is watching."

    Your views

    Here are some more of your tributes to the late Bill Kenwright:

    Dean: There are some who think he ruined Everton but without him there would be no Everton anymore. He stabilised the club and took the club on an upward path. I do believe that if he listened to his head and not his heart he would have walked away a few years ago, before it all got messy. I will be forever grateful for all you did for my beloved club.

    Tim: Goodbye Mr Everton, you have done wonders for the club you have loved since childhood, your passing leaves an enormous hole but, you will be remembered as Everton’s greatest supporter.

    Patrick: I remember meeting Bill on a train going to Liverpool and having a little chat. He asked me why someone from Stoke-on-Trent came to support Everton and I told him that I came to a game in77-78 season and fell in love with the people and the club. He just gave that great smile he had and said I know what you mean.

    David: Thanks for all your work and efforts to make Everton great again, Bill. I hope we haven't lost the heart, the soul or our integrity as a football club with your passing. Rest in peace, Bill and I hope the new owners will see fit to name a stand after you in the new stadium alongside Howard Kendall.

    Mick: Me and a few friends met Mr Kenwright just before the teams came out as Everton travelled to Nuremberg in 2007. As we shook hands I stated 'it is nice to see you', he smiled and like a true gentleman stated 'its nice to see you too'. Such a foolish thing for me to say, but the response made me think so warmly of a kind and true blue.

    Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman has paid tribute to club chairman Bill Kenwright following his death at the age of 78.

    Kenwright had been on the Toffees board since 1989 and remained there until he died this week.

    Osman, who played for Everton between 2000 and 2016, praised Kenwright's ability to deal with people.

    "You measure people by how they treat people around them," Osman told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "You could be a guy on the street or a king of a country, it is about how you make them feel.

    "Bill Kenwright was one of those who always made you feel like you were the centre of the world. My children always felt they were close friends with Bill, opposition players or our players too. Everyone felt that way.

    "That is an art some people have. When you talk about Everton as the people's club, he was the people."
