West Bromwich Albion play host to Everton tomorrow in the Premier League.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson predicted the outcome of tomorrow’s Premier League clash between West Brom and Everton, when writing his regular prediction column for Sky Sports.
The Baggies are currently in all sorts of trouble, having not won a Premier League game since August 19th, and they currently sit in 19th spot in the table.
Alan Pardew’s appointment at the Hawthorns las month was supposed to coincide with an upturn in form for West Brom, but that has so far failed to materialise.
The Toffees, meanwhile, have been in superb form recently, and currently sit in ninth spot in the table, after winning four and drawing two of their last six league outings.
Sam Allardyce’s arrival at Goodison Park has led to a resurgence in both form and confidence, and the Blues are now looking up rather than behind them in the table.
Merson wrote his regular prediction column for Sky Sports, and explained why he doesn’t envisage Everton’s fine run coming to an end tomorrow:
“Sam Allardyce just does what it says on the tin and that is what they were hoping for at West Brom, was it not? It is alright West Brom saying they were unlucky, but I just do not see it. I think Everton will go there and frustrate them and win 2-1. It was easy when West Brom were 2-0 down at home to Man Utd the other week, as then they started playing. And that would be a shocking result for West Brom.”
Prediction: West Brom 1-2 Everton
The hosts can jump outside of the drop zone with a win tomorrow, whilst the visitors can climb as high as eighth in the table with a victory.
