With three consecutive 3-0 wins, Everton will be looking to reproduce a similar performance to those victories when the Baggies visit Goodison Park tomorrow.
With momentum on their side, the Blues will be looking to climb the table to seventh in the tables should Southampton lose to Swansea City tonight which could then see them begin to challenge for a European spot towards the top of the table.
In our Football Manager 2016 simulation the Toffees currently sit in seventh, 11 points behind 6th placed Tottenham while Aston Villa sit behind the Blues in a very large contrast to their real world position.
Now, concentrating on the game at hand we have simulated the game between Everton and West Brom and well the result is not very surprising. The Blues ran out 2-1 winners as they dominated the possession with 64% and strangled the Baggies out of the game.
Veteran Gareth Barry in the first minute and virtual world signing Angel Correa scoring in the second half capped off the Everton goal while Blues former striker Victor Anichebe scored the only goal for West Brom. Chris Brunt picked up player of the match while other notable performances come from Gerard Deulofeu with a 7.5 rating and Darren Fletcher with a 7.3.
If most Evertonians were asked if they would be happy with a 2-1 victory, they would snap your hands off with some of the banana skins that have presented themselves this season for the Blues.
With the position Everton have been in this season, a good run of form can really give fans hope for European competition next season and with new owners on the horizon, Blues around the world can finally be positive!
