Free West Brom V Everton England Premier League Preview 1st September 2012

Spurs went down 2-1 at Newcastle United despite producing a decent display and then had to settle for a draw against West Bromwich Albion after being pegged back by a late equaliser.Free West Brom V Everton  Stream Free Online Video Of England Premier League  Sunday 1st September 2012 Kickoff and Time Table scheduled for 16:00 CET.The Toffees have not won their first three matches of the season in 19 years and three points here would take David Moyes' side level on points at the top of the table going into the international break.Moyes will be pleased the transfer window has closed without the loss of any key personnel after Mikel Arteta's deadline day exit last year.And with Belgium international Kevin Mirallas set for his Premier League debut after being involved against Leyton Orient in midweek, Everton look to have more strength in depth than recent years.

But none of that will make an away day against Albion an easy assignment.

Steve Clarke's side have already seen one optimistic Merseyside outfit leave the Black Country pointless after the Baggies' 3-0 win over Liverpool on the opening day.

West Bromwich Albion prepare to entertain Everton at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Baggies are clearly on top, having won 39 and lost only 17 of the 74 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Hawthorns was less than a year ago, in January 2012, with Everton inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Baggies in a Premier League match.

They followed that up by riding their luck against Tottenham before showing impressive resilience to grab a late equaliser and West Brom will be hopeful of overtaking Everton in the table by 5pm on Saturday.

 West Brom

    This is the first time West Brom are unbeaten after the first two games of a Premier League season since 2005-06. However, they ended up being relegated at the end of that campaign.

    West Brom conceded nine penalties in last season's Premier League - the joint-highest total in the top flight.

    James Morrison's last two Premier League goals have come in stoppage time, including in last week's draw at Tottenham.

    Chris Brunt is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance.

    Steve Clarke was on the winning side in all three matches against Everton last season as assistant manager to Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool. They won home and away in the Premier League, and 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Everton

    Everton have won their first two Premier League matches of the season for the first time since 2007. The last time they won their first three league games was the 1993-94 season when they beat Southampton, Manchester City and Sheffield United.

    The Toffees have now gone 11 league games without defeat. That run includes their 2-0 win over West Brom at Goodison Park at the end of March.

    If they avoid defeat against West Brom, it will be their longest top-flight unbeaten run for 27 years since an 18-match streak from December 1984 to May 1985, when they won the old Division One title.

    Steven Pienaar has scored four goals in his last eight league matches for Everton.

    Phil Jagielka is set to make his 400th league appearance.
