History of the Blackburn Rovers v Everton fixture

Everton face a trip to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 36 and win only 16 of the 65 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2002, with Everton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Rovers in a Premiership match.
