History of the Sunderland v Everton fixture
Everton face a trip to Sunderland at Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stadium of Light was just last season, in March 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a F.A. Cup match.
