FACT ME
Everton have been eliminated in both of their League Cup ties against Sunderland, most recently in a penalty shootout in November 1998 - a campaign that saw the Black Cats reach the semi-finals.
The Toffees have won five of their last six League Cup clashes with lower league opposition (L1), although that lost came at this stage last season – a 2-0 defeat to Norwich at Goodison Park.
Indeed, Everton have only progressed past the third round in two of the last seven seasons.
Sunderland have lost their last five League Cup games against Premier League opponents, including a 3-1 defeat at Wembley in the 2014 League Cup final against Manchester City.
