Venue: Goodison Park

After last week’s debut, most teams and pundits will look at Everton differently.

Marco Silva and Ronald Koeman will grow green with envy at the number of ridiculous talents available to Carlo Ancelloti.

The midfield trio of Allan, Doucoure and Andre Gomes can compete with any midfield in the league.

And the smart footwork of James Rodriguez means opposing fullbacks must be wary of overlaps.

Everton won’t be the same again when they do train together for a little while more.

West Brom entered into bookies’ books as favorites for the drop after their poor showing against Leicester last weekend.

Slaven Bilic must be wondering how long before he’s booted out of the Baggies’ dugout.

 Out of the 24 times that Everton and West Brom have squared up, the Toffees have come out tops half of the time with the Baggies winning six times.

The trajectory is not about to change with Bilic’s side having to look for a way to stop Richarlison from marauding down the left and James Rodriguez from tearing them down from the right.

West Brom won’t see the ball too often and clearly can’t see a win for them here.
