Everton v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

Tony Pulis made a winning start to his Albion reign and will be looking to repeat last season’s success with Crystal Palace at Everton in his first away game in charge. There is no margin for error for Roberto Martínez. Everton are three points above the relegation zone, have won once in 12 games, have exited both domestic cup competitions at the opening hurdle for the first time in their history and are facing a difficult February.
