Everton vs West Bromwich Albion Match Preview (31/03/12)

Everton go into today’s game against West Bromwich Albion on a high after that magnificent win over Sunderland last Tuesday.

It wasn’t perhaps quite the close game we had maybe anticipated after Jelavic’s early goal knocked the wind out of Sunderland, but Everton went there and did a job on the Mackems and I don’t think too many of the Sunderland fans could argue that Everton deserved to go through.

The semi final with Liverpool now awaits and the prospect of an all Merseyside semi is enough to make you forget we do have a few league games before then starting with West Brom at Goodison today!

West Brom have been a well organised outfit under Roy Hodgson although talking himself up as a potential England manager for the future is maybe a bit premature.

West Brom have a few underrated players such as Jerome Thomas and Chris Brunt who can always strike a surprise on their day, also Paul Scharner is a bogey player for Everton and one we always need to watch out for.

Expect a close game today with maybe one or two goals in it.

Finally on the subject of Wembley all in all most Everton fans will be happy with the way the club has allocated tickets, however it would have been nice if a window of priority had been given to the Season Ticket holders who have attended all of the other FA Cup games first but never mind.

See you all at Wembley!
