Everton 


Everton new signing Theo Walcott is set for his debut against West Brom on Saturday.

Provisional squad: Pickford, Kenny, Holgate, Jagielka, Martina, Gueye, McCarthy, Bolasie, Rooney, Sigurdsson, Walcott, Robles, Williams, Keane, Schneiderlin, Lennon, Niasse, Calvert-Lewin, Lookman, Tosun.

West Brom 

Nacer Chadli and James Morrison remain out for West Brom ahead of their trip to Everton.

Midfielder Chadli continues to be troubled by a hip problem while Morrison is struggling to shake off a long-term Achilles injury which has wrecked his season.

Jonny Evans is expected to start at Goodison Park on Saturday despite continued speculation about his future, although the Baggies are yet to receive a firm bid for the defender this month.

Provisional squad: Foster, Myhill, Palmer, Hegazi, McAuley, Dawson, Evans, Nyom, Gibbs, Brunt, Field, Livermore, Krychowiak, Barry, Burke, Yacob, McClean, Phillips, Robson-Kanu, Rondon, Rodriguez, Leko.

Key match stats  

Supplied by Opta

The Toffees have lost one of their last 10 Premier League clashes with West Brom (W5 D4), losing 1-0 at Goodison Park in February 2016.

The Baggies have failed to score in 10 of their last 16 league visits to Goodison Park, including three of their last four.

This is the first time these sides will meet at Goodison Park in a top-flight match with both sides managed by Englishmen since September 1981, when Everton were managed by Howard Kendall and West Brom managed by Ronnie Allen.

Everton had 17 shots on target in Sam Allardyce’s first four Premier League games in charge, scoring seven goals – however, in his last five, Everton have managed just four shots on target, scoring once.

West Brom ended their 20 game winless run in the Premier League last time out against Brighton – they’ve not won back-to-back games in the competition since their opening two of this season.

The Toffees haven’t had a single shot on target in the Premier League since Idrissa Gueye’s goal against Bournemouth, a run of 213 minutes without one – they have had 21 shots since Gueye scored.

Sam Allardyce has never lost a home Premier League match against the Baggies (P8 W2 D6 L0); his only home league defeat against them came in December 2000 in the second tier as Bolton manager, a 1-0 defeat via a Jason Roberts goal.

Wayne Rooney has had a hand in 14 goals in 13 Premier League starts against West Brom

Wayne Rooney has had a hand in 14 goals in 13 Premier League starts against West Brom (seven goals, seven assists).

In his Premier League career, Rooney has been involved in 55 goals in 58 starts against sides starting that day in the relegation zone (31 goals, 24 assists).

At 38 years and 39 days, Gareth McAuley against Brighton became the oldest outfield player to make an appearance in the top-flight since Sylvain Distin in March 2016 (38y 80d). Indeed, it was his 100th appearance in the Premier League aged 35 or older, something only 15 other players have achieved, with six of those outfield players (Teddy Sheringham, Ryan Giggs, Nigel Winterburn, Gary Speed, Tugay and John Wark).
