Everton fans want Alex Iwobi to start against West Brom

Everton visit West Brom on Thursday evening in the Premier League – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter have claimed they’d like to see Alex Iwobi recalled to the starting XI.

The Toffees travel to the Hawthorns to play away at West Brom, with the two teams desperate for points for different reasons.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are currently seventh in the league standings, but know they would be fourth in a Champions League position if they win their game in hand on the teams above them.

Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce’s West Brom are 19th battling relegation and they are nine points adrift from safety as it stands.

Everton, who played just three days ago on Monday, have had a tight around for this upcoming fixture.

A selection of Everton supporters on social media believe that Iwobi should come back into the team and they should operate for a rotation policy.

The 24-year-old attacker has been used as a late substitute in the last two consecutive matches, but has played fairly regularly this season with 27 appearances in all competitions.

He is a quick wide player that usually operates from the right.

Alternatively, he could play more centrally and inject some fresh legs to the Merseyside club if they wanted.

Here are some Everton fans discussing Iwobi:
