I turn 30 tomorrow, but more importantly, Everton are playing and the Toffees have a great record when playing on the 13th of September, winning nine of their last 12, including each of their last three in a row.

Everton havenโ€™t conceded a Premier League goal from a set-piece (excl. pens) since February 26th.

Of the ever-present clubs since the start of last season, only Newcastle United (Feb 23rd) have went longer without conceding from a set-piece than #EFC.

Since the beginning of last season, only Dwight McNeil (6) has provided more assists for Everton across all competitions than Harrison Armstrong (3), despite Armstrong playing just 273 minutes and spending the majority of the last campaign out on loan.

For the first time on record (since 2006/07) Everton have failed to have a single shot in the first half of a Premier League match against a newly-promoted side.

Since the beginning of the 2024/25 season, Everton have named a Premier League squad with three goalkeepers in the squad on 19 different occasions.

#EFC are the only team in the Premier League so far this season to have two goalkeepers on the bench.

Agreed in terms of team results yes, at end of the day we all just want Everton to win football matches

Stats/data regarding individual players has huge significance and rightly so, especially when it comes to scouting and ultimately signing players
