Everton play host to Reading at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Toffees have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The last time the two teams met at Everton was way back in the black-and-white days of October 1973, the Toffees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Cup match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Toffees's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Reading. Home Win
