Everton face a trip to Sunderland at The Stadium of Light on Sunday 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 47 and win only 18 of the 79 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2008, with Everton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Black Cats in a Premier League match.
