Everton F.C., nicknamed the Toffees, is one of the oldest clubs in the English Premier League. They’ve won 24 major trophies since their establishment in 1878 – 9 league titles, 5 FA Cups, 1 European Cup Winners’ Cup, and 9 Charity Shields.
However, all these titles were well over 50 years ago.
Everton has been in a slump in the last 10 seasons. Their best performance was in 2014–15 when they finished fifth in the Premier League and qualified for the UEFA Europa League.
This season, manager Sean Dyche has made some strategic changes to the team to strengthen their position. Below,...

Southampton was one of the founding members of the Premier League. Ironically though, it has struggled time and again to stay in the top flight.
Their only major trophy in 139 years came in 1976—a 1–0 FA Cup victory over Manchester United.
From then on, there have been several ups and downs (more downs than ups). They have been relegated twice from the Premier League and have had managers changed several times. Undoubtedly, the Saints, as they are popularly known, are in a slump.
However, with the arrival of manager Russell Martin in June 2023, Southampton’s odds have slightly improved. Under Martin,...

West Ham United had its glory years from the 1960s to the 80s, winning three FA cups (1963–64, 1974–75, 1979–80), the European Cup Winners’ Cup (1964–65), the International Soccer League (1963), and several more titles.
From then on, there have been several ups and downs. They have slipped into relegation twice—from 2002–05 and in the 2010–11 season. Undoubtedly, the Hammers, as they are popularly known are in a slump. However, with the arrival of new manager Julen Lopetegui, there has been a new vigour in the team, improving West Ham’s odds.
In the current 2024–25 football season, the Hammers are slowly...

Newcastle has won the English Premier League football four times, while West Ham has never lifted the trophy. However, Newcastle’s victories came a century ago in 1905, 1907, 1909, and 1927, so it would be fair to say that neither team has won the title in recent years.
In the 2024-25 EPL season, Liverpool leads the standings with 28 points, followed by Manchester City with 23 points. Newcastle is at the 8th position with 18 points and West Ham is 14th with 12 points.
The two teams will face each other on Monday, 25th November at St. James Park in Newcastle....
