Interesting facts
The Toffees are unbeaten in their last eleven Barclays Premier League matches. They have not lost in the league since a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Goodison Park in March.
A point or more against David Moyes’ side would seal Albion’s best-ever start to a Premier League season, following last Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Spurs and a 3-0 opening-day victory over Liverpool.
The Baggies have not won their opening two home games in the top flight since Johnny Giles’ outfit beat Everton 2-1 and Luton Town 4-0 in 1984.
Everton have not won the opening three fixtures of a Premier League season since 1993/94. Howard Kendall’s side beat Southampton 2-0, Manchester City 1-0 and Sheffield Wednesday 4-2 and were at the summit of the league after three games, level on points with Ipswich Town.
