Preview: Everton vs. West Bromwich Albion

Everton should be buoyed by their FA Cup victory over Sunderland in midweek when they host West Brom at Goodison Park on Saturday.

Everton host West Bromwich Albion at Goodison Park on Saturday in what is the first match for the Toffees since they booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

David Moyes's side overcame Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday to set up a showdown with local rivals Liverpool at Wembley Stadium next month.

Meanwhile, the Baggies will be hoping to put an end to their three-game winless streak when they travel to Merseyside.

Steven Pienaar is available for Everton after being cup tied in midweek, while Royston Drenthe could still be out on compassionate leave.

West Brom duo Graham Dorrans and Jerome Thomas are likely to be ready after hamstring problems, but James Morrison may be sidelined with a knee injury. Chris Brunt could also return.

Current form:

Everton: WDWLLW
West Brom: WWWLDL

Possible lineups:

Everton: Howard; Baines, Heitinga, Distin, Hibbert; Pienaar, Cahill, Fellaini, Osman; Jelavic, Stracqualursi

West Brom: Foster; Olsson, Ridgewell, McAuley, Jones; Brunt, Andrews, Thomas, Dorrans; Odemwingie, Fortune

Sports Mole says: 1-0
