Everton prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 41 of the 62 contests.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was less than a year ago, in December 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Everton, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
