Ross Barkley is one of the best young players in the Barclays Premier League. His play for Everton has attracted the attention of several of England's biggest clubs.

Saido Berahino has been the only consistent goal scorer for West Brom this season. The England International has scored nine goals on the year, and in his last three games, Berahino has scored six.

Despite the best efforts of Saido Berahino, Joleon Lescott will be the best attacking option for West Brom. It is not often that a team will rely on a defender to convert their scoring chances, but West Brom have struggled a great deal to score goals. Their best chances will come from corner kicks and other set pieces. Look for Lescott to demonstrate his exceptional leaping ability and find the back of the net from a set piece.

Tony Pulis has earned a reputation as a manager who can save teams that are doomed for relegation. This is exactly why Pulis was brought into West Brom this season. West Brom were sitting dangerously close to the relegation zone when Pulis arrived. Against a desperate Everton squad earning all three points will be very difficult, but look for West Brom to earn a much-needed point as their push for survival continues.
