Everton take on West Bromwich Albion on Saturday in the Premier League, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Everton 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
A clash between the best of the rest in the Premier League, Everton should be able to benefit from home advantage. Expect this one to be a closely fought game, determined by a single goal.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman
Everton 2-0 West Bromwich Albion
This match takes on surprising significance with West Brom just four points behind Everton in the table. Yet, The Baggies’ disappointing home defeat against Crystal Palace suggests that the flip flops are on after hitting the 40 point benchmark.
West Brom manager Tony Pulis
Everton 3-0 West Bromwich Albion
Everton may have slipped up against Spurs, but prior to that the Toffees were in really exceptional form. Their chances of breaking into the top six appear slim, but that won’t stop them trying. They’re blessed with goals right now, and should overcome a West Brom team who just lost to Crystal Palace.
Everton 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
Everton should have enough to earn a narrow victory against West Brom in the battle for the best of the rest in the Premier League. The Baggies should get a goal but ultimately the Toffees will win by one.
Everton 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
Both sides suffered disappointing defeats in their last game, with West Brom surely smarting from a home defeat to strugglers Crystal Palace. Everton will be looking to get back to winning ways – ensuring they remain the best of the rest. Romelu Lukaku will help them do that, and I see an Everton win.

Though they may have lost against Spurs last week, Everton looked good in spells and should return to winning ways if they play like they did at White Hart Lane. West Brom are certainly no pushovers, but the Toffees have a touch more quality for me.
