West Bromwich Albion FC (2-2-2, 8 points) and Everton FC (2-1-3, 9 points) will close week 7 competitions of the 2015-2016 Premier League competitions at the Hawthorns on Monday, September 28.
The Baggies are rumored to be having internal turmoil between their 22-year-old striker Saido Berahino and chairman and owner Jeremy Peace, but it does not seem to affect the team's performance on the pitch.
Manager Tony Pulis had been handling the situation well as West Brom remained undefeated in their last three games despite the fiasco.
Their last match was a 1-0 win over Aston Villa at the Villa Park last Saturday and no else than Berahino scored the winning goal for the club, as per NBC Sports.
Meanwhile, Everton settled for a goalless draw with Swansea City in their game at the Liberty Stadium also last Saturday despite dominating ball possession almost the entire match, BBC Sport.
Toffees forward Kevin Mirallas was sent off in injury time, but Roberto Martínez's squad held on against the late rally of the Swans to salvage the point in the overall standings.
There were rumors that Everton's prized defender John Stones might miss this game against West Brom because of a knee injury, but there are no official announcements as of yet.
The predicted result is a 1-0 triumph for Everton. If Jones can play, the advantage is with the Toffees.
West Brom starting lineup (4-5-1 formation): Myhill; Brunt, Evans, McAuley, Dawson; Fletcher, Yacob, McClean, Morrison, Berahino; Rondón
Everton starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Howard; Stones, Galloway, Browning, Jagielka; Barkley, Barry; Naismith, Koné, McCarthy; Lukaku
