History of the Everton v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 2 of the 20 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a F.A. Cup match.
