Everton face a trip to Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 45 and win only 16 of the 79 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Premier League match.
