Everton could not have a more impressive recent home form, having won each of the last six games. During these games, Toffees have smashed 14 goals past the opposition and conceded a paltry 3.
In complete contrast to Everton, Wigan Ath. are having a torrid time on their travels, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.
