History of the Arsenal v Everton fixture

Everton face a trip to Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 64 out of 96 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2010, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premier League match.
