Everton are winless in their last three home league games against the Baggies (D2 L1), failing to score in each match. The draw is 3.953/1.

Tony Pulis' side won this exact fixture 1-0 last season thanks to Salomon Rondon's goal - it's the only goal in the last three Premier League games between the sides at Goodison Park. West Brom are 6.25/1 to win.

The last team Everton failed to score against in four successive top flight home matches was Manchester United (between 1990 and 1993). Under 2.5 goals is 1.875/6.

Meanwhile, West Brom haven't kept a clean sheet in four consecutive away top flight games against an opponent since March 1925 (a run of five against Birmingham). Over 2.5 goals is 2.1211/10.

Romelu Lukaku has scored three goals in six Premier League games against his old club, but all of these have come at the Hawthorns. Lukaku is 2.01/1 to score.

Lukaku now has 78 Premier League goals. Only three players in the history of the competition have scored more before their 24th birthday than the Belgian: Michael Owen (110), Robbie Fowler (106) and Wayne Rooney (86), while
Lukaku now has one more than Cristiano Ronaldo (77). He's 4.03/1 to score the first goal.

This will be Tony Pulis' 300th Premier League game in charge (currently P299 W95 D87 L117). You can back West Brom to mark the occasion by avoiding defeat in the Double Chance market at 2.35/4.

West Bromwich Albion (40 points) need just three more points this season to equal their points tally from the whole of 2015-16 (43). The draw half-time/WBA full-time double result is 13.012/1.

Everton (44 points) can also equal their entire points tally from last season and also the season before (47) if they win this match. An Everton win is 1.695/7.

West Bromwich Albion have won 39 points from 20 games against sides outside the top six this season (W11 D6 L3) - more than any other club in games between teams currently in positions 7-20. They are 4.3310/3 in the Draw No Bet market.
