Odds Presentation
Game Analysis
Roberto Martinez's side have lost just one of their last 14 Premier League games at Goodison Park (W7 D6 L1), winning the last four in a row.
Sunderland have failed to score in seven of their last 14 Barclays Premier League matches against Everton and netted only eight goals in total in that run.
The Toffees have conceded just seven goals in the last 14 home games and kept eight clean sheets including the last four in a row.
Sunderland have won just two of the last 20 Premier League games against Everton (W2 D5 L13), but were victorious on their last trip to Goodison Park.
The Black Cats have won none of their last eight Premier League matches on the road (W0 D4 L4).
The last seven goals Everton have scored in this fixture have been netted between the 75th and 81stminute.
Sunderland are looking to win back to back Premier League games for the first time this season.
Lee Cattermole has collected 13 yellow cards in the Premier League this season - the record in a single PL campaign is 14.
Sunderland have the lowest scoring top goalscorer in the Premier League this season - Conor Wickham with five goals.
Leighton Baines has nine assists in the Premier League this season; three more than any other defender and two away from his best ever tally in a PL campaign (11 in 2010-11).
Prediction
This is a vital game for Sunderland and here they are coming up against an Everton side who have now won their last 4 home league games on the bounce. My ratings suggest that the match is priced about right and looking at the number of draws that litter both sides form this has to be given some serious consideration. For my trade I am going to turn to the goal line. All 5 of Sunderland's last 5 away games have seen 2 or less goals. Also Everton have kept 6 clean sheets in their last 7 away games. I expect Sunderland to set up defensively from the start and so my recommended trade is Under 2.0/2.5 Goals at around 2.06.
