Everton face a trip to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Wednesday evening, 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 was less than a year ago, in December 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Premiership match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form Toffees, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. No-score draw
