TEAM NEWS

In the reverse fixture earlier in the campaign, it was again the away side that sneak a 3-2 victory in Hawthorns howitzer. A brace from former Baggies loanee Lukaku saw Roberto Martinez' side come from two-nil down to take all three points

The Baggies won out last time they met in Febraury, when it was again a lone strike from Rondon which settled matters at Goodison.

West Brom and Everton have met 20 times in the Premier League. The Merseysiders head the record, having won 10 times, with West Brom winning on six occasions. There have been four draws in top-flight history. 

West Brom gave Matt Phillips his first top-flight league start also. His impact was rather negated in the face of two defensively-minded set-ups.   

They may be assisted in their aim with a Toffees side still very much being molded by Koeman. New signing Idrissa Gueye slotted into the Dutchman's starting XI with aplomb and an heir of his former midfield destroyer Victor Wanyama, with his tenacious play.

After safety was guaranteed, the goals dried up for the Baggies and their defence went missing in taking just one point from their last four at The Hawthorns, finding the net just once.

Pulis will be looking to make a make it a two wins out of two and a winning start at home, after they finished last season in the West Midlands in woeful form.

Koeman deployed the former Barcelona man in an advanced forward role during pre-season also, but with Everton lacking a creative influence last time out, might we see Deulofeu revert to his more accustomed right-wing role?

The Spaniard led the line admirably and troubled Spurs' back line that helped Mauricio Pochettino's men towards an unlikely title push only a few months ago.

As Romelu Lukaku's future on Merseyside continues to be shrouded in doubt, the Belgian striker was absent last weekend, which saw Gerard Deulofeu as the most advanced man as the invisible number 9.

In Ronald Koeman's first Premier League game as Everton boss, the Dutchman saw his side take the early ascendency in entertaining The Lily Whites.

Tony Pulis' side's win against The Eagles, once again confounded pre-season fears that West Brom may struggle this term. The Baggies again proved however they have the tools to pick up away points. The regular defensive unit of Craig Dawson, Jonas Olsson, Gareth McAuley and Jonny Evans that kept 10 clean sheets last season, once again took away all three points, to begin the campaign.

West Brom ground out a typically resolute 1-0 away win versus Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, courtesy of a Salomon Rondon headed winner. Everton were pegged back by Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, where a second half goal from Erik Lamela cancelled out Ross Barkley's opener.

Both The Toffees and The Baggies kicked off their 2016/17 campaign in contrasting styles last weekend.
