West Bromwich Albion vs Everton, Premier League

Prior to that defeat, West Brom had gone down 1-0 to Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League.

The Toffees though do have a potential defensive headache with Seamus Coleman still a doubt and John Stones picking up a knock in the Cup (as well as Leighton Baines being a long-term absentee) while Saido Berahino is back in the fold and back among the goals for the home side.

Pulis has hailed both his club and Everton’s ability to prevent bigger sides stealing their players as a declaration of intent for the future.

Three of the last four meetings between the sides have been a draw.

Premier league clubs can hold on to their best players now with forthcoming increases in broadcast revenue, West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has said.

Everton FC and West Bromwich Albion are both trying to climb the Premier League standings this 2015 season, but today’s scheduled match could change that fact.

Everton are on song themselves and appear to have consigned their malaise of last term to the past, losing just the once in the Premier League and making a rare foray into the fourth round of the Capital One Cup thanks to two come-from-behind victories away to lower division opponents. The difference was eventually made by a piece of quick thinking from Saido Berahino, who showed the kind of predatory instincts that have gained admiring glances from elsewhere.

Romelu Lukaku is likely to lead the line for the Toffees and the Belgium worldwide is available at 17/4 (5.25) with NetBet to break the deadlock for Martinez’s men, while the same firm offer 31/20 (2.55) that the former Chelsea striker finds the net at any time.

Ross Barkley has had a hand in five goals (two goals, three assists) in his six Premier League appearances this season.
