LONDON (SE) - With Premier League safety all but secured Fulham turn their awareness of breaking a 64-year-old hoodoo once they visit Everton this weekend. Fulham (10-10-14) have never won a recreation at Goodison Park, losing on 20 of these 24 visits given that they first played in 1949. They've not really managed a spot at the house of Saturday's opponents since 1959. Martin Jol, would have been 3 years old the last time the medial side he currently manages got away unscathed from the half of Merseyside and he is well conscious of the old problem facing Fulham on Saturday. "Everton isn't an easy group for us," Jol told the team internet site. "For Fulham, it's no simple ground so we have to try to do some things differently and try to come up with an outcome. They're an extremely steady team and, of course, count on the people. Marouane Fellaini, for example, if he's there they've got a little extra. "Of course they have got that style with these full-backs, being very small and very prepared, so I feel that they have had a season that is more reliable than before probably. They're always in the top seven - the top seven sometimes - nevertheless now they are getting stronger and stronger. I do believe that Everton could end up in the top five - these were even in competition to be in the top four." Through the years the Cottagers have managed several victories in FA Cup sixth round connections at Goodison, but the last of those was in 1975 and consecutive matches have been lost nine by them there. Not surprisingly record of woe, Toffees goalkeeper Tim Howard demands when the clubs take the field the record books can count for nothing. "The history seems good and hopefully we are able to enhance it," he told the team internet site. "But I think every sport is its single entity. Those games are not planning to really matter when the whistle blows on Saturday. "It is good to see that and it gives perhaps an extra incentive and inspiration. But also for the most part, it means nothing." Fulham's task will not be manufactured any easier by the Toffees' remarkable home form this year. Everton (14-14-6) have just one home loss this season (to Chelsea) attaching Man City for least home failures in the team. The last time Everton went the full season with just one house beat was in 1986-87, their last name winning strategy. Just both Manchester factors have significantly more details than Everton on home soil in 2013. Along with the historical winless streak, Fulham will undoubtedly be looking to stop a scoreless streak that extends to 204 minutes. That streak extends to 428 minutes if you banish the own targets scored by QPR's Clint Hill and Aston Villa's Fabian Delph respectively. Taking those into account, no Fulham person has won in the Premier League since Dimitar Berbatov netted against QPR on Apr. 1. Everton are also on an extended purpose famine having been shut out in back-to-back fits. All told, it's 214 minutes since the Toffees have obtained. Darron Gibson, Victor Anichebe and Phil Jagielka are doubtful for the home side prior to the fit. Emmanuel Frimpong is available for Fulham after being ineligible to perform against his parent team, Arsenal, a week ago. Sascha Riether is going to be considered prior to the game. Simon Davies, Ashkan Dejagah and Mahamadou Diarra are all out as is Steve Sidwell, who's suspended after being sent off against Arsenal. Sidwell netted a last-gasp equalizer once the sides fulfilled at Craven Cottage in November. Bryan Ruiz gave Fulham the lead before an increase from Fellaini looked to own secured the items for Everton until Sidwell's late intervention.
