Everton are ready to welcome Birmingham City to Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 38 and lost only 6 of the 59 games.
The previous match played between the two at Goodison Park was within the last three years, in November 2007, with Everton running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Everton need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Toffees have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Birmingham C.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Blues have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Everton find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 17 points from their 16 matches. Birmingham C. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Barclays Premier League, picking up 27 from their 17 games so far.
