# Everton v West Brom – My Everton XI

(That picture makes me very sad. I think about them every day.)

We’re turning corners rapidly and this game represents a real opportunity for us to cement ourselves as contenders up there again. We struggled like crazy (I could probably use that as my season summary, couldn’t I?) at the start of the season to win away games, amongst other things, and if we can make it two away wins in a row and eight overall unbeaten, well then, Humongous Samwell’s one-man title train is on its way.

And it’s not stopping.

Hopefully we’ll have gotten over the flu bug (the ‘ I want Christmas off, boss’ bug) and we can have a full strength team for selection. Hopefully Considerably-Sized Sam can give some minutes to players out of favour, though, such as **\*SPOILER\*** and **\*SPOILER\*** and then some game time to the returning Bolasie from the bench.

Anyway, if we can do West Brom then the point against Chelsea looks even better.
