West Brom are not in a good place! They have gone five league games without a victory. and are winless in seven away from home. They have failed to register a single shot on target in three of their last four league games.

Simon Brotherton, BBC: "Meanwhile, West Brom's 1-0 defeat at Newcastle last week was described by Tony Pulis as their worst performance on the road during his time there. They followed it up by scraping past Peterborough in the FA Cup."

Berahino has been rehabilitated, but is likely to start on the bench. West Brom will, no doubt, put up their usual resolute defence, but will be handicapped by the loss of Gareth McAuley, and potentially Jonny Evans, Craig Dawson and Chris Brunt too.

It doesn't look a very demanding day for the goal keeper, but just one good save could be vital.

All this definitely screams an "Everton Rue Missed Chances" headline by 5:30pm tho don't it :P
 

Most importantly, the back 5 needs to remain the same.

Going forward, I can see the argument for including Deulofeu if West Brom defend deeply in numbers as expected. Maybe bring him on for the last 30 if needs be.

We now have a little bit of momentum, if we can smash these we will cement our position in the top 8 and pull away from that middle group. We could then start to consider a European spot. Hopefully Sunderland pull an unlikely result out of the bag against Man United.

Should be unchanged from last week. No reason to tinker with that side as we could and should have scored 6 or 7.
Hopefully today we will.

Yes mate but clearly the reason we didn't score seven was because our club legend Tim Howard wasn't playing, so expect him to make an unwelcome appearance again today ...

Berahino isn't fit for the game apparently according to Pulis and it'll be Rondon alone up top. One WBA fan said that Rondon alone would be "like sticking a traffic cone up front".

They're gonna park a double decker and nick one from a 93' corner. 1-0 to WBA, because Everton that's why.

We will batter them.
 
With West Brom likely to camp themselves on the edge of their own box and hoof aimlessly towards the extraordinarily gash solomon rondon, there's definitely an argument for starting with deleofeu today. But I'd probably stick with same team from last week and look to change to Gerry around the hour mark. Could play both lennon and deleofeu potentially but again I'd probably stick with the same team.

And as always, NO HOWARD NO PROBLEMS.
