Everton prepare to entertain Stoke City at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 36 and lost only 8 of the 56 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in December 2011, with Stoke City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Toffees in a Premier League match.
