History of the Bolton Wanderers v Everton fixture

Bolton Wdrs. prepare to entertain Everton at Reebok Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 27 of the 66 previous games, with the The Trotters winning just 24.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Reebok Stadium was just last season, in November 2003, with Bolton Wdrs. running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premiership match.

Bolton Wanderers have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 5.
