Everton face a trip to Portsmouth at Fratton Park at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2009, the Pompey carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premier League match.
