          Dunno. Has been in and out of the team all season. Didn't realise it was injury related though.

      I'm watching the game, I think Everton conceding is unlikely West Brom have only had one shot on target the entire game.

    Wolves are a disgrace to football. They'd get relegated from the Championship playing like this.
