Everton prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 42 of the 63 contests.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in September 2007, with Everton running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Everton have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Toffees have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Middlesbrough's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Boro have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Everton's 18 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 7th position. Middlesbrough's 17 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Everton at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Toffees will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Everton | Unbeaten in the last 3 home games. Won their latest 3 matches. Not drawn a match in their last 3 . |
| Middlesbrough | Undefeated in last 3 away games. 5 games since last defeat. |
