What more motivation could Everton have right now? Knocked out of the UEFA Cup, with now full concentration on the Premier League. Aston Villa dropped 3 points against Pompey, and they have a 6 point lead over Pompey who are in 6th. A win here in this game, would tie them for 4th with Liverpool, with only goal difference seperating the two sides.

Other than the 1 game against Fiorentina, they have won 6 from 8 games which included 1 draw against Fiorentina. Currently in the league, they are the most in-form and consistent team that is going there week in and week out to concentrate and get the result.

The earlier meeting between the 2 sides was a 3-0 win, and I will be expecting a similar performance with atleast a 2 goal margin of victory because of the sligh exhaustion from the Fiorentina game.

With a team boasting of some of the most creative and free flowing footballers in the league currently like Cahill, Arteta, Yakubu but Cahill's services will be missed today. The main reason why Everton has been playing well in recent weeks is because they are leaking less goals. In the last 45 days, in the league, they have only leaked in 3 goals, which is very much why they are doing so well.

Fulham have everything going wrong for them. Locked in almost a sure relegation position, this team is struggling to get the results and all their players are not motivated enough to help them stay up.

Everton should WIN this game.
