rubecula Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I was asked the other day which current Premiership team has never beaten Everton in the Premier league era. I guessed Swansea, and I think I am right, but are there any more? I don't know which is why I am asking. The other part of the question I really have no clue about: Which is the highest ranked team in England that has NEVER played Everton at all? Anyone able to help me out with some blinding facts. The second part especially is doing my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I was asked the other day which current Premiership team has never beaten Everton in the Premier league era. I guessed Swansea, and I think I am right, but are there any more? I don't know which is why I am asking. The other part of the question I really have no clue about: Which is the highest ranked team in England that has NEVER played Everton at all? Anyone able to help me out with some blinding facts. The second part especially is doing my head in. The answer to your first question is, both of the Welsh clubs. The last time Cardiff beat Everton was in the 1956-57 season (in fairness, the game back in August was EFC's first against Cardiff since the 1960s). Swansea have never beaten Everton at all. As for your second question, what do you mean by "highest ranked"? Are you looking at that just by league level (like if there was someone in League One who's never played Everton), or also by the current standings within each league, or something else? Off the top of my head I know they've never played AFC Wimbledon (currently 15th in League Two) since that club has only been around for about ten years, but I don't know about anyone higher up the table - that would take some research.

marcopaulo Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'd guess at yeovil for the 2nd one there's a chance we've never played them in the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'd guess at yeovil for the 2nd one there's a chance we've never played them in the cup No idea what the answer is but definitely not Yeovil as I remeber going there in the Cup in the late 90s Maybe Crawley who are in League 1 ???

We had a friendly there in 1998, but I don't remember going there in the cup. http://www.toffeeweb.com/season/97-98/reports/yeovil_f.htm Can't remember why we'd have been playing a friendly in January :dont know: . Maybe the weather had caused postponements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Thanks guys, as JD said it would take some research. But thanks for your offerings. I am going to murder the lad who asked me that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 MK Dons I reckon, two points above Crawley :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 MK Dons I reckon, two points above Crawley :-) But MK Dons are strictly speaking the same club as Wimbledon (even though they've renounced the history) so we've played them many times.

barryj Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 But MK Dons are strictly speaking the same club as Wimbledon (even though they've renounced the history) so we've played them many times. I now live in Milton Keynes and although they are strictly Wimbledon renamed they are pretty much a new club as I can't think of anything that has any resemblance of the old crazy gang. Although Dean Lewington is still there. Always look at the draw and hope for this fixture, great stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 If teams changing names are allowed, then it's the Hull Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 If teams changing names are allowed, then it's the Hull Tigers. It hasn't been changed yet, they've only applied for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I found... Everton Head-to-Head Lookup And according to that database, they've never played a competitive match against Yeovil, league or Cup. So unless friendlies count in Rubecula's mate's world, I think we have our winner, and props to Marco for calling it. marcopaulo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
