    The Magpies have come on strong late on in games.

    All seven of top scorer Callum Wilson's goals have been scored in the second half.

    Meanwhile, half of Newcastle's 14 league goals have been scored in or after the 82nd minute.

    Leeds could go six successive home league matches without a win for the first time since a run of 12 in the Championship from March to October 2015.

    Marcelo Bielsa's side have conceded a league-high 11 goals from set-piece situations this season.

    Everton got a much-needed win - and a good one too - against Chelsea. It showed the Toffees do not rely on James Rodriguez, who was out injured, and also that they are up for a scrap when they need to be.

    I fancy Leicester here, though. There is a bit of a swagger about the Foxes at the moment and Jamie Vardy is in the kind of form where he is scoring in pretty much every game he plays.

    Prediction: 2-0

    West Brom's sporting and technical director, Luke Dowling, said: “In Sam we have a man who has a proven Premier League pedigree with a track record of improving every club he has managed.

    “We believe and, more importantly, Sam believes we have a group of players that have the quality needed to give the club its best chance of Premier League survival.”

    Big Sam will keep West Brom up? Big Sam will take West Brom down?

    Bryan Jones: Utterly ashamed of my beloved WBA. Disgraceful treatment of Slaven, and now we've got to go through the whole Pulis nightmare again!

    Richard Browne: Who runs WBA. Fires the manager after a 1-1 draw with City (obviously didn't see that coming) and then replaces him with Allardyce. It's a Champ Manager 92 player isn't it?

    LemmeSpeak: A bad example set by West Brom to replace a manager who got them up and won a very unlikely, hard-fought point against City yesterday. What has Sam done to warrant a job? The most overrated, unidirectional manager in English football, not just the Premier League.

    You can't keep a Big Sam down.

    He's back in the Premier League. With 512 PL games already under his belt, can Allardyce keep West Brom up?

    Having dropped Pickford after a tough spell earlier this season, manager Carlo Ancelotti said that he is "used to rotating the goalkeepers" and he's been true to his word, naming the England keeper on the bench on the back of some impressive performances too.

    Everton XI: Olsen, Holgate, Mina, Keane, Godfrey, Sigurdsson, Allan, Doucoure, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

    Subs: Kenny, Tosun, Bernard, Gomes, Gordon, Davies, Pickford.

    Winger Ryan Fraser has overcome a hamstring problem to make his first appearance since setting up an assist for Callum Wilson in the 2-1 win over Everton at the start of last month.

    Defender Federico Fernandez, midfielder Jeff Hendrick and Jacob Murphy also start for Steve Bruce's team.
