Mason Holgate, Fabian Delph, Jean-Phillippe Gbamin and Cenk Tosun are all long-term absentees for the hosts.

Everton vs West Brom Preview

While they won under half their home matches last season, Carlo Ancelotti’s men did not lose many either - suffering fewer defeats than Champions League qualifiers Chelsea.

This must be attributed to a lack of cutting edge considering they scored just 13 times in 11 home games since he took over, albeit conceding only 10 at the other end.

With James' arrival adding an extra attacking dimension, they should be looking to improve on that record against a Baggies side that was outclassed at home to Leicester and could struggle to nullify the threat of the Colombian.
