Royal Blue: Big Sam stands in way of Everton and top four after home comforts restored

Dave Prentice and Adam Jones join host Phil Kirkbride as the Royal Blue podcast returns to review Everton's 1-0 win over Southampton on Monday and preview Thursday's visit to Sam Allardyce's West Brom. Richarlison's early strike ensured the Blues beat the Saintsand ended their run of five Premier League games without a win at Goodison Park. But there's also praise for the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jordan Pickford and the returning Allan before talk turns to the showdown with the relegation-haunted Baggies, who are of course managed by former Everton boss Allardyce. Victory over Big Sam's side would haul the Blues into the top four for a couple of hours at least and would set them up nicely for next Monday's huge match at Chelsea. Enjoy.
