(Reuters) - Old friendships will be briefly forgotten at The Hawthorns on Saturday when Everton manager Roberto Martinez seeks a much-needed victory over former colleague Alan Irvine, now manager of West Bromwich Albion.

Both teams are struggling without a Premier League victory after three games this season - Everton, fifth last term, are currently 17th while West Brom are 18th - and mercy will be in short supply, according to Spaniard Martinez.
