Their last clash came in the same competition back in 12 years ago with the Toffees running out 3-0 winners, but what about Wednesday’s last win? Let’s take a stroll back through the victorious squad of over 20 years ago to April 5 1999, when they won 2-1 at Goodison Park.
The win arrived off the back of five consecutive defeats and catapulted the Owls further from the relegation zone.
