Opinion: Extent of Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium problems clear as West Ham comparison shared

Everton are only able to boast a win percentage of just 30.8% from their opening 13 Premier League games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

There is a clear distinction between Everton’s start on the Liverpool docks to how Arsenal and Tottenham started at their respective new homes, as they both won 61.5% of their opening 13 games.

Club Stadium Win Draw Loss Win % Points

Arsenal (2006/07) Emirates 8 5 0 61.5% 29

Tottenham (2019) Tottenham Stadium 8 1 4 61.5% 25

Everton (2025/26) Hill Dickinson 5 4 4 38.5% 19

West Ham (2016/17) London Stadium 4 3 6 30.8% 15

Although Everton are not battling relegation, their home form at the Hill Dickinson Stadium matches that of West Ham’s start at the London Stadium.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie has hailed the Hill Dickinson Stadium atmosphere, but the Blues have not won a game on home soil since early December against Nottingham Forest.

Dan Meis designed the Hill Dickinson Stadium with 55-degree stands to make the atmosphere as intimidating as possible for visiting teams.

That has not really been seen after the opening 13 Premier League games, with Everton having only beaten the following sides on home soil:

Brighton & Hove Albion

Crystal Palace

Fulham

Nottingham Forest

Moyes has collected more away points at Everton than any other manager in the Premier League, since he returned to Merseyside last January.

Everton’s away form has been exemplary, but it is at home where the Blues have really struggled to capitalise.

Everton’s European hopes are fading amid dreadful Hill Dickinson Stadium form

Moyes really wants Everton to push for the European spots this season, with Everton’s away form proving more than good enough.

The Blues have won away at Old Trafford and in other big away games, but Everton have not been able to secure such a big victory on home soil.

Next up for Everton is a game against Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson, where Moyes will have an opportunity to make a real statement towards European qualification.

A win for the Toffees would see them close the gap down to just five points on United, who sit in the final Champions League spot currently.
