History of the Everton v Fulham fixture

Everton prepare to entertain Fulham at Goodison Park on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Toffees are clearly on top, winning 14 and drawing 6 of the 22 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in March 2006, with Everton running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Everton have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 7.

The away form of Fulham is pretty dire, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Cottagers have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Everton's 47 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 7th position. Fulham find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 35 points from their 31 matches.
