Everton welcome West Ham United to Goodison Park this weekend in the Premier League.
Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley has told the club’s official website that he wants to continue his impressive goal scoring record against West Ham United this weekend, reminding everyone it is not just Romelu Lukaku who loves playing against the Hammers.
Cleverley has scored three times in his career against West Ham for three different clubs. The 27-year-old bagged goals against them while on loan at Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa, as well as for Manchester United.
The England international is preparing to face the London club again, and is hoping he can get on the score sheet again.

“It gives you confidence when you’ve scored against a team before,” Cleverley told evertonfc.com.
“Hopefully I can make it four.
“Rom always seems to score against them and long may that continue. But if me or Rom don’t score and we get the three points, I don’t think we’ll be bothered.”
The spotlight will always be on Lukaku, with the in-form striker preparing to face one of his favoured opponents, but Cleverley’s record is also very impressive for a man that does not score a lot of goals.

The win is much more important for Everton, regardless of who scores the goals, as Ronald Koeman’s side look to get back on track after failing to win any of their last four Premier League games.
After a bright start, Everton sit in sixth place, five points off leaders Manchester City, with just one point separating the top five.
