Everton prepare to entertain Fulham at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 17 of the 25 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was just last season, in November 2008, the Toffees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premier League match.
