Everton pack their bags to visit Sunderland at Stadium Of Light on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 47 and win only 17 of the 78 games.
The previous match played between the two at Stadium Of Light was within the last three years, in December 2005, with Everton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Black Cats in a Premiership match.
