Everton boss David Moyes:
"To keep qualifying for European competitions we have to do that through our league position.

"It will be as hard to get into the top 10 this year as maybe it has to get into the top four in the past.

"Blackburn, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Portsmouth and West Ham are doing well so it will be really tough."

Freddy Adu · 12-07-2007, 11:21 PM

Fulham captain Aaron Hughes:
"Everton are one of those teams, a bit like Blackburn, who have really come on strong in the last couple of seasons.

"If you want to get anything from them then you have to work hard for it.

"As the away team you have to be prepared for what is going to be thrown at you but you have to also go with mentality that you can win it."

Freddy Adu · 12-07-2007, 11:21 PM

Everton marked David Moyes' 250th game in charge with victory over Zenit St Petersburg to win their group in the Uefa Cup. Now they're chasing a 200th Premier League victory.

Fulham have made their worst ever start to a Premier League season with just two wins and 13 points from 15 games.

The Toffees are vying for a third straight home league win after a 3-1 victory over Birmingham and 7-1 thrashing of Sunderland; the Cottagers' three points from their Premier League travels have come from draws at Wigan, Chelsea and Sunderland.

All 12 Premier League fixtures between Everton and Fulham have been won by the club playing at home.
