West Ham United\u2019s reunion with David Moyes will see the spoils shared according to pundit Chris Sutton.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s Premier League<\/a> action boasts West Ham versus Everton<\/a> while relegation rivals Tottenham face what looks like a much easier game on paper away at Wolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out of 10, how confident are you that West Ham will stay up? \u2b06\ufe0f <\/p>\n

As such, this could well be the weekend that sees West Ham<\/a> drop back into the relegation zone in the Premier League table<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Toffees have proven to be one of the best sides away from home in the league all season \u2013 yet Sutton<\/a> still\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0think\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0rock up to the London Stadium and claim a victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sutton thinks West Ham\u2019s intensity won\u2019t be enough to beat Everton <\/p>\n

Sutton\u00a0frequently\u00a0tips West Ham not to win\u00a0games<\/a>\u00a0and this weekend\u2019s clash is no different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While predicting a 1-1 draw on Saturday in his BBC Sport<\/a> column, Sutton wrote: \u201cWhat a great game this will be, with\u00a0Everton\u00a0boss David Moyes going back to his old club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how big a win would be for West Ham in their relegation fight but I was impressed by Everton against Liverpool, especially Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n

How should David Moyes be remembered at West Ham? \ud83d\udcad <\/p>\n

European trophy winner? Boring football? Or something else? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the Hammers\u2019 point at Palace last time out was a decent result, but the pressure is still on them to win this one at home. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am expecting West Ham to play with the kind of intensity that is required but Everton can be a tough nut to crack. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt finished 1-1 when these two sides met earlier in the season, and this smells of another draw to me.\u201d <\/p>\n

A draw certainly wouldn\u2019t be a dreadful result for the Irons, even if Spurs do win at Molineux. <\/p>\n

This is a very difficult game on paper and the Moyes factor cannot be overlooked. <\/p>\n

The Scot will no doubt be hoping to put one over on the people who wanted him out of West Ham during the final few months of his second tenure here in east London. <\/p>\n

It is a cruel irony at this stage of the season that Moyes, who often proved such a divisive figure here in east London, could be the man to put the Irons back into the bottom three. <\/p>\n

While Nuno Espirito Santo\u00a0remains\u00a0confident of Premier League survival<\/a> this season, things are getting tight and every dropped point matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As such, a meeting with an Everton team who tend to thrive on the road is hardly ideal right now. <\/p>\n

Sutton\u2019s prediction proving correct would not mean the end for West Ham United in the Premier League, but more dropped points could yet prove costly. <\/p>\n

They simply have to\u00a0be going\u00a0for as many points as possible. Being conservative simply\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0do when the margins are so fine.<\/p>\n
