Monday evening’s Premier League action comes from the Hawthorns where West Bromwich Albion face Everton.

The Baggies are unbeaten in their last three league games, and they boast the joint-second best defensive record in the division, thanks in no small part to three consecutive clean sheets.

However, they go into this match on the back of Wednesday evening’s 3-0 League Cup third round defeat to Norwich City – a game in which manager Tony Pulis made ten changes to the previous weekend’s victory at rivals Aston Villa.

Boaz Myhill – expected to return in goal in place of Anders Lindergaard who made his West Brom debut at Carrow Road – is one of many players likely to return the starting line-up.

Saido Berahino is 7.5 (13/2) to get the first goal of the game with a number of firms, with James Morrison a 19.0 (18/1) chance with Bet 365.

The home win is as highly priced as the 3.15 (28/13) on offer from 888 Sport with the visitors favourites at 2.5 (6/4) with most bookmakers. The draw is a 3.4 (12/5) shot with Betfred.

Everton are also without a defeat in three league games, but won their League Cup tie against Reading on Tuesday.

No team have conceded fewer top flight goals than Roberto Martinez’s men, who have leaked just five goals along with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Everton defenders Leighton Baines, Seamus Coleman and John Stones all miss out through injury along with midfield duo Tom Cleverley and Steven Pienaar while Kevin Mirallas is suspended.

Romelu Lukaku is favourite to open the scoring with Bet Victor offering odds of 6.5 (11/2) ahead of Steven Naismith who can be found at 8.5 (15/2) with many firms.

The Merseyside club won last season’s corresponding fixture by two goals to nil just over a year ago before the sides played out a goalless draw at Goodison in January.

In the last nine meetings, there have been nine clean sheets so you may be tempted to select ‘no’ in the both teams to score market, which is best priced at 1.91 (10/11) with Betfred.
