Albion have now failed to win their first home game of the season for four consecutive seasons since they beat Liverpool 3-0 in 2012, and they have only managed it on three occasions in their eleven Premier League seasons.
Looking ahead to next weekend, game 3 has only once produced victory, ironically against today’s opponents, Everton also in 2012.
