History of the Everton v Middlesbrough fixture

Middlesbrough face a trip to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having taken no points from 41 of the 62 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
