History of the Everton v Bolton Wanderers fixture

Everton prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 42 and lost only 11 of the 73 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in February 2009, with Everton running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Premier League match.
