Stoke City travel to take on Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 36 out of 54 times.
The last time the two teams met at Everton was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1984, as they swept to an impressive 4 - 0 win in a First Division match.
