Head-to-head
The reverse fixture in August ended goalless, with Everton twice hitting the woodwork and West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster producing an inspired performance to deny Roberto Martinez a first victory as Everton manager.
It is 30 years since this fixture ended in a draw at The Hawthorns. West Brom have won five and lost four of the subsequent nine league meetings at home.

However, they have won only one of their last 12 matches in all competitions, a 1-0 home victory against Newcastle.

They have only taken 37 points from 40 games since Boxing Day 2012, losing 19 times.
Nicolas Anelka has scored eight league goals against Everton, spanning five different clubs. He can become the first player to score against the same Premier League team with six different clubs.
