Thirteen wins, 42 goals scored and 43 points recorded. It’s no surprise that Joe Royle has enjoyed watching Everton play at Goodison Park this season.
The Blues signed off their 2016/17 home fixtures with a 1-0 win over Watford on Friday evening - a result which ensured the Club’s highest points tally at Goodison in the modern Premier League era.
Only the league’s top two sides - Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur - will finish with a better home record this term.
Royle, who is now the Blues' Professional Development Co-ordinator, believes that represents significant progress on home soil after Everton won only six of their 19 top-flight matches last season.
