Back in 2004-2005 (the last season in which Everton finished in the top four), David Moyes's men specialized in the 1-0 win, and they rode that wave to a spot in the Champions League. Fast forward to 2012-2013, and this current outfit seems like they prefer to beat teams 2-1. Hey, whatever works.
This Boxing Day game marks the halfway point of the season for Everton - quite surprising for those of us expecting another slow start, but quite satisfying at the same time to be in the mix for a European spot too.
