Opta Stats: Everton v West Brom

 

Everton and West Brom have both had strong starts to the season, but can they keep them up? Opta and Betfair examine the statistics.

 

Just one of their previous 13 Premier League meetings between these two sides have ended as a draw, with Everton winning seven and West Brom securing five wins. You  can lay the draw at 4.3.

 

Victor Anichebe has scored in two of his last three Premier League games against West Brom, despite playing a combined 69 minutes over those three matches. Often a  substitute, Anichebe can be backed at 7.4 to score the last goal.

 

Everton have lost only 9% of games that they have conceded the first goal of the game in this season (one of 11); the best such record in the Premier League. The  Toffees are 8.4 to win from behind.

 

West Brom have attempted 61% of their shots in the second half of Premier League games this season; a higher proportion than any other side. The odds on the second- half containing more goals than the first, are 1.74.

 

Romelu Lukaku has scored seven goals and assisted one in his nine Premier League starts for West Brom. Lukaku is 9.2 to score first.
