Goodison Park — Liverpool
Referee: P. Walton
Team News
Everton's successive 2-0 away victory saw them progress in the cup on
Tuesday, so David Moyes may stick to a similar side despite playing
their third game in a week. Steven Pienaar is likely to come back into the team and replace Magaye
Gueye on the wing, with the Frenchman getting the nod over Drenthe last
time out. Elsewhere, Phil Jagielka could return to the back line in place of
Johnny Heitinga, while Nikica Jelavic will continue to lead the line
with Moyes finally finding someone that looks set to be a regular goal
scorer for the club.
probable lineups : Howard, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Pienaar, Fellaini, Gibson, Osman, Cahill, Jelavic. (4-4-1-1).

West Brom suffered a blow last weekend, not only tasting a 3-1 defeat to
Newcastle but also losing arguably their best player this season James
Morrison to medial ligament damage. Paul Scharner should therefore return to the side, along with Chris Brunt who remains a doubt having suffered from tonsillitis. Peter Odemwingie's place may have been in jeopardy were it not for
injuries, though Simon Cox and Somen Tchoyi will still be hoping for a
chance to start, with Shane Long likely to replace Fortune up front.
probable lineups : Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Odemwingie, Scharner, Mulumbu, Brunt, Thomas, Long. (4-5-1).

Prediction
After an upturn in form, West Brom have now gone three games without a
win, losing twice, and face an Everton side in buoyant mood following
back-to-back 2-0 wins and progression to the FA Cup semi-final against
Liverpool at Wembley.
As has been the case in most of Everton's games this season, one
shouldn't expect too many goals, though there is a bit of previous
between the sides, with 3 men sent off in their last 3 league meetings.
Everton have won 4 and lost just 1 of their last 6 home matches against
West Brom, though that did come in the last league match at Goodison
between the sides in an eventful 4-1 win for the visitors.
Everton 1 - 0 West Bromwich
