History of the West Bromwich Albion v Everton fixture

Everton face a trip to West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 37 and win only 15 of the 70 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, the The Baggies carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
