match preview

West Bromwich Albion v Everton

theguardian 

Everton and West Brom's form is identical so far this season but Roberto Martínez will be confident as his side have scored freely in their opening games. Alan Irvine will also be spurred on by Everton's crippling defensive frailties that have led the side to concede ten goals in their opening three games. Romelu Lukaku will feel at home at the ground where he had a successful time on loan two seasons ago and will look to use this to power Everton to their first win this season. Graham Searles
