West Ham v Everton, Saturday, December 15, 3pm
(Barclays Premiership)

LAST TIME AT UPTON PARK: West Ham 1 Everton 2 (12-12-07, Carling Cup quarter final) HEAD-TO-HEAD: West Ham 32 wins, Everton 52 wins, 21 draws FORM: Everton made it 11 games unbeaten following their Carling Cup win at Upton park on Wednesday and it was a result that now gives them the slight psychological edge. But this is an unusual situation and could throw up anything. DANGER MAN: Aiyegbeni Yakubu proved on Wednesday what a he is - at any time in the game. The Nigerian forward had a quiet evening and was well shackled by Danny Gabbidon, but came alive late on to send his side through. FUN FACT: Actor and TV presenter Simon O'Brien is a diehard Blue. According to some reports, the main reason O'Brien quit his role on the TV soap Brookside (where he played Damon Grant) was because of his constant arguing over football matters with Sue Johnston (his on-screen mother, Sheila) - a Liverpool fan. PREDICTION: Hammers revenge: West Ham 2 Everton 1
