West Bromwich Albion v Everton: match preview

West Bromwich Albion v Everton
West Bromwich Albion v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Both clubs have already benefited this season from their hardline stances over Saido Berahino and John Stones and the pair may be influential to their team’s chances at The Hawthorns, providing the Everton defender recovers from a knee injury in time. Tony Pulis has had notable success in stifling Roberto Martínez’s tactics in the past and the Everton manager believes his team are facing “one of the best defensive units in the Premier League”. Everton’s defensive record is not too shabby away from home this season – they are yet to concede on the road in the Premier League. Andy Hunter
