Everton will welcome Stoke City at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, with Ronald Koeman aiming for his first EPL home win as Everton manager.

The Toffees have kicked of the season with a good performance, they have earned 4 points from their last 2 games. They defeated the Baggies 2-1 last week away at Hawthorns. Gareth McAuley handed the Baggies the lead with a header, but Kevin Mirallas equalised on the stroke of halftime. Later Gareth Barry headed in the winning goal for the toffees. They now hope for another win to hand Koeman his first Premier League win at Goodison Park having drawn the opening game there.

Stoke are among the teams with difficult start this season, they have just 1 point after two games. They drew 1-1 against Boro on the opening day, but lost at home to Manchester City last week. Braces from Nolito and Aguero handed stoke their first home defeat, although Bojan scored one from the spot but it wasnt enough to avoid defeat.

Everton vs Stoke City: Prediction

The Toffees look more informed than Stoke, they have started he season well and are the favourites in this fixture. Nevertheless, both teams were victorious in the League game on Tuesday. The two teams enjoyed a 4-0 victory each against their opponents.
