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 67 previous games, with the The Trotters winning just 25.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Reebok Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2005, as the The Trotters squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Premiership match.
