Everton prepare to entertain Birmingham City at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 6 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was less than a year ago, in April 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
