It’s a big game for…

Maarten Stekelenburg: With the news that Everton are interested in acquiring the out of favour Joe Hart, Everton’s current first choice goalie will be aware that any blunders he makes may well amp up the pursuit for other options between the sticks.

Best stat…

Everton have not picked up a win in their last three trips to the Hawthorns.

Remember when…

The biggest encounter between the two sides came in the 1968 FA Cup final, which West Brom won 1-0.

Player to watch…

Salomon Rondon: The best Venezuelan striker in all of the West Midlands and the battering ram at the end of Tony Pulis’ long-ball trebuchet. Barcelona’s interest in his services confirms that Rondon is something of a different beast to the rest of the West Brom squad, and he could form an effective partnership with Saido Berahino if both of their services can be retained.
