History of the Everton v Birmingham City fixture
Blues face a trip to Everton at lunchtime on Saturday, and have come away from Goodison Park with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 37 out of 56 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in December 2003, Everton carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
