Everton
Everton go into this match having kicked off the Martinez era with a 2-2 draw at Carrow Road against Norwich City. Given the circumstances, Everton performed impressively and were unfortunate not to take home all the spoils in a match where they enjoyed large spells of possession and an array of attempts on goal. Marouane Fellaini was an integral part of the play at the weekend, boasting the most passes in the match whilst Barkley could take pride in keeping Everton in possession.

West Brom
Life as a West Brom fan hasn't been too dissimilar to what it's usually like to be an Everton fan during the transfer window with no money having been spent on new signings thus far the baggies. Nor have they received any money from player sales.

It could be a difficult season for West Brom with last season's top scorer Lukaku returning to Chelsea on loan and being replaced by a 33 year old Nicolas Anelka. It will be difficult for anyone to replicate that sort of goal return.
West Brom starting XI v Southampton:
------------------------------Foster------------------------
--------Jones------McAuley-----Olsson---Ridgewell---
------Morrison----Mulumbu----Yacob-----Dorrans-----
---------------------Anelka-------Long---------------------
Despite spending a large period of the premier league era in the lower divisions, West Bromwich Albion are part of the inaugural football league and therefore there have been many matches between the clubs. Saturday will mark the 168th meeting between the sides.
