That is all for today's coverage on Everton - West Bromwich - I have been Ollie Haggart, thank you for tuning in.
Today's winners face Crystal Palace next in the Premier League, whereas Everton will hope to get back on track against rivals Liverpool.
Despite having all of the possession, Everton could not convert any of the opportunities. Another chance to climb the table and secure a Europa League spot was wasted, after Manchester United lost earlier in the day to Sunderland.
FT: Everton 0-1 West Bromwich Albion. An early goal from Rondon gave the visitors a lead that was defended brilliantly throughout the remainder of the game. The crossbar came to the Baggies rescue when the defence was beaten on two occassions, meaning West Brom take all three points to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
90 + 3' - Barkley misses a great chance once again as an swerving cross from Barry finds the attacker in the area - unfortunately for him, he cannot get over it.
90' - It's not going to be Everton's day. A combination of too many touches in the final third, the woodwork and expert defending from the opposition looks as if it will cost the Toffees all three points. There will be an additional five minutes for the hosts to conjure a goal.
86' - We are into the final minutes of the 90, and Ross Barkley has the best chance of the game, only to get it horribly wrong! A quick give and go with Lukaku opened space for Barkley who unleashed a shot at the edge of the penalty area - but it is fired over the bar.
80' - West Bromich Albion temporarily down to ten men as Yacob is being treated off the pitch. Everton make their final substitution meanwhile, as McCarthy is replaced by Osman.
80' - West Bromwich Albion put their bodies on the line again as they intercept an effort from Barry from six yards out. A corner is to follow.
78' - A quick counter attack lead by Deulofeu results in a fantastic cross by Coleman finding Arouna Kone who can only hit Olsson. The Ivorian has not brought any attacking threat since coming on. Osman is now being readied on the sideline.
73' - Gerard Deulofeu replaces Lennon. The fans are dissapointed with the move, as Lennon has been the one that looked most likely to make anything happen. The Spaniard will be looking to regain his place in the starting line up.
71' - Goalscorer Rondon is now being substituted for former Everton man Victor Anichebe. His job will be to hold the ball up when on the counter attack.
67' - Chances are coming few and far between for Everton now. The visitors are defending excellently.
61' - A West Brom counter attack almost culminates in a fine finish from Chris Brunt! Despite the amount of pressure Everton are putting on the visitors goal, they look shaky at the back.
59' - Lukaku lays the ball off perfectly for Barry who has a sensational effort at goal by driving the ball hard, aiming for the top corner. It goes narrowly over; it remains 0-1.
57' - Everton replace Tom Cleverley with Arouna Kone.
55' - McCarthy and Barkley both have efforts at Ben Fosters goal, but can only aim straight at the goalkeeper. Chris Brunt is now being readied for the visitors, and it looks as if McClean will come off after being booked; Aaron Lennon has been causing him trouble all afternoon.
53' - Everton remain the better team i=at the start of the second half, but are struggling to create any real chances. They now have a free-kick on the edge of the box.
49' - A free-kick from the training ground brings Everton's first chance of the half. The ball is rolled short to McCarthy who hits it first time, but cannot get it around the first defender.
46' - West Brom kick off to get the second half underway; Can Everton act on their 74% possession? Can West Brom win for the first time in five games?
We will be back covering Everton - West Bromwich Albion in a few minutes when the second half kicks off.
After conceding in the first half, Everton have now conceded more goals at home (23) than any other side in Europe's top five leagues this season.
HT: Everton 0-1 West Bromwich Albion. The visitors took an early lead through Rondon after he headed home from a corner. Since then, the Baggies haven't really had any clear cut chances, and have defended astonishingly; when the defence has been broken, the woodwork came to their rescue, as Everton have hit it twice in the first half. The second half promises to be another enthralling one.
45 + 2' - The last chance of the half is a corner after another shot is cleared off the line! It's looking like Everton are certain to score in the second half.
45' - There will be three minutes of added time. It remains Everton 0-1 West Bromwich Albion.
43' - We are into the dying minutes of the first half now, and West Bromwich will be thankful for the whistle; Everton have been very unfortunate not to have equalised or even to have take the lead.
39' - Now it's Tom Cleverley's turn to hit the woodwork, after a misshit shot is only narrowly above the netting. Everton are applying incredible amounts of pressure on the resolute defence of West Brom.
37' - Ben Foster is a spectator for this one as Ross Barkley aims to place a shot from the edge of the box. Unfortunately for him it hits the post and Everton can only keep attacking.
35' - A series of efforts from Lennon, Barkley and Funes Mori are all kept out by Foster and the defence in front of him. It's a very entertaining game so far!
32' - The ball is somehow kept out by a wall of Albion defenders! It looked a certain goal, but it remains 0-1. It looks as if the home team will score if it carries on like this.
31' - Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman link up fantastically at the edge of the box, resulting in a deflected shot from the Englishman. Corner for Everton.
30' - The game is really picking up place now, with Lennon making life very difficult for Chester at left back. It proves to be very end-to-end for the rest of the game.
27' - an unorthodox formation is being used by Martinez, with Jagielka acting almost as right back and Coleman acting almost as a second striker - having had three chances so far in the game.
25' - It is the 25th minute and West Brom already have all 11 players in their own half to defend. It's proving effective thus far, but if Everton continue to attack, a chance is likely to come.
22' - A typical feature of a Tony Pulis team - resolute defending - is on show. Everton have plenty of possession but are struggling to make any chances due to Yacob and Fletcher breaking down all possible options.
16' - Albion are looking to score another straigt away, with some intelligent play between sessegnon and McLean. The goal does not come as a surprise to Pulis, as all 39% of West Brom's goals have come from headers this season.
14' - GOAL! A corner is whipped in with pace to Olsson who loops the ball over the Everton keeper, before Rondon gets a touch to ensure the ball reaches the back of the net! It is undeserved, but very efficient play from the Baggies; Everton 0-1 West Bromwich Albion.
12' - The ball is swung in by Oviedo, who signed a new 3 and a half year contract to stay at Everton until 2019, but goes over everyone. West Brom now look to attack, and win a corner from a deflected cross.
12' - Free kick for Everton in a promising position after Lennon is brought down by Chester; Barkley and Oviedo standing over it.
7' - Fantastic build up play is being shown by Everton, with Foster making a couple of good but easy saves. West Bromwich not able to get in the game as of yet.
5' - Everton enjoy a good spell of possession, without showing any real threat to the visitors goal. For now, they are happy to pass the ball around and wait for the right opportunity.
2' - The first chance of the game goes to Seamus Coleman who does well to find space inside the penalty box, but can only hit an outstreched Olsson with the shot. Everton have started the better side.
1' We have kick off here at Goodison Park! Will West Brom be able to distance themselves from the relegation battle or will Everton get their third consecutive Premier League win?
14:50 - Only 10 minutes from kick off her on Vavel UK. Stay tuned for live updates and scored for Everton - West Bromwich Albion in the Barclays Premier League.
14:27 - Unfortunately for today's visitors, it looks like it could be a very one sided game; Everton are renowned for playing high tempo possession football, and having had 76 shots on target this term and averageing 39.8% possession (the lowest figures in the Premier League), it will be an uphill struggle from the start. Tony Pulis' side have failed to register a single shot on target in three of their last four league games, which will be music to Robles' ears, as he has kept a clean sheet in each of his last five Premier League games.
14:25 - Romelu Lukaku will be looking to add to his 16 goals so far this season, and will be confident that he can push on agaist today's opponents as he has scored three goals in the last three games against West Bromwich Albion.
14:20 - Roberto Martinez acknowledged his teams' poor home form, but aims to build on the previous wins against Newcastle and Stoke in an effort to challenge for the top four: "Where we drop too many points is at home, and we're embracing that as a real challenge. We want to aim high, we want to be involved in the latter stages of every competition and we want to get into the top four."
14:15 - Everton have conceded 22 goals at Goodison Park this season - the joint-highest total in the top five European leagues. Tony Pulis is aware of the danger that his sides' opposition posses however, as he spoke in his pre-match press conference: "They've got some fantastic players, it's most probably the strongest Everton squad that the club has had for a long time."
TEAM NEWS: Everton: It's an unchanged side for today's hosts, the side is as follows; Robles; Oviedo, Funes Mori, Jagielka, Coleman; Barry, McCarthy; Cleverly, Barkley, Lennon; Lukaku. Substitutes: Howard, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Kone.
West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Dawson, Olsson, Chester, Evans; McClean, Yacob, Fletcher, Sessegnon; Berahino, Rondon. Substitutes: Myhill, Gardner, Anichebe, Brunt, Pocognoli, Pritchard, Sandro
Late decisions will be made by Roberto Martinez on John Stones and Tim Howard who have both missed the previous two matches with minor hamstring and knee injuries respectively. The call to bring the two back into the side will be a controversial one, however, as since Ramiro Funes Mori and Joel Robles' introduction to the starting line-up, no goals have been conceded.
Muhamed Besic still carries a hamstring injury, and will not feature in today's fixture. One man who is likely to make his debut for the club is January signing Oumar Niasse who arrived from Lokomotiv Moskow for £13.5 million.
Tony Pulis has 'growing concerns' over the clubs worsening injury concerns, after Gareth McAuley was forced off with an injury during the midweek FA Cup replay.
The unfortunate situation West Brom are in means that Pulis can hardly make any changes from the tiring game against Peterborough that lasted 130 minutes; Jonny Evans (hamstring), Callum McManaman (ankle), James Morrison (hamstring), Chris Brunt (calf) and Craig Dawson (foot) are all unavailable for selection.
Today's reverse fixture saw Everton come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at the Hawthornes. An inspired second half performance lead by this season's second highest top goalscorer, Romelu Lukaku was enough to cancel out Berahino and Dawson's goals. The Belgian front man grabbed two goals along with teammate Arouna Kone to extend their unbeaten Premier League record against the Baggies to eight games.
If the Toffees eight points from five games could be seen as inconsistent, West Brom's league form has been extremely poor; three points from a possible 15 in their last five league games has seen manager Tony Pulis receive widespread criticism, with his aim to secure the Baggies first away win since October today not being made easier due to the extremely injury ridden squad.
Just one win in Premier League for the entirety of December and January lead to frustration amongst the Everton faithful, with many asking questions of manager Roberto Martinez. However, since the disappointment of throwing away a two goal advantage to Manchester City in the Capital One Cup semi-final, Everton have scored nine goals and conceded none in three straight 3-0 victories, after their win over Carlisle in the FA Cup was followed by wins over Newcastle and Stoke.
Today's visitors are six places below Everton in the league rankings in 14th position, with six points splitting the two, and six points between them and Norwich in the relegation zone. West Bromwich Albion go into this fixture on the back of a narrow victory over Peterborough in the FA Cup fourth round replay, as Tony Pulis saw his side progress into the next round on penalties.
Everton's first premier league victory since 26th December came against Newcastle only 10 days ago in a 3-0 win, only to be followed by a consecutive 3-0 showing against Stoke last weekend. These two impressive performances have boosted today's hosts up into the top half of the table, with only six points separating them and Manchester United in a Europa League position.
Hello, and welcome to VAVEL UK's live minute-by-minute coverage of today's Premier League fixture between Everton and West Bromwhich Albion. The match itself kicks off at 15:00 PM UK time, but there is much to discuss before the ball gets rolling on Merseyside.
