Everton prepare to entertain Manchester City at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, having won 40 and lost only 15 of the 78 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was less than a year ago, in February 2006, the Toffees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.
