The Only way for West Brom is a win
A glimmer of hope was found in West Brom’s last home match where they beat Brighton on Saturday. That was their just third win of the season and they need more of that if they want to survive in the top flight.
Coach Sam Allardyce’s team is in 19th position with 17 points nine points behind Newcastle at 17th. In their last match against Brighton, the visitors missed two penalties and had a goal disallowed after referring to VAR.
West Brom had just 30% of possession in the game, six attempts at goal and six important saves by their goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Everton to make it three wins in a row
After two back-to-back defeats, Everton have bounced back and won two games in a row. One of those two wins was in the Liverpool derby where the Toffees beat The Reds in Anfield.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team have not lost an away match in eight games. Traveling to West Brom will not be easy though as the hosts are fighting for survival and they won’t make things easy for the visitors.
In their last game, Everton beat Southampton at home by 1-0. They are now 7th with 43 points and have one game in hand over all the teams above them, so a win here can take them all the way to fourth place.
