Everton (Toffees)
Stadium: Goodison Park

- The Toffees, who have hit the woodwork on more occasions than any other club in the Premiership (11), have kept just one clean sheet in ten Premiership outings, but have failed to find the net in just one of 15 matches.
-
Three of their last six have been lost, but three of their last five won.
-
Providing Liverpool finish no lower than fifth, the sixth placed club will gain entry into Europe's second club competition. Everton currently hold that berth, three points ahead of Blackburn, who have a superior goal difference. A win here and a point from the final game at home to Manchester United on 11 May would be enough to secure qualification, irrespective of what Blackburn do in their last two games, at home to West Brom this Saturday and at Tottenham on 11 May.

- Managerless Fulham, £33.6m in the red and uncertain of their long term future following the breakdown in talks over a proposed move to Stamford Bridge, could find themselves one point and one place above the Premiership trap door after the weekend if they lose here and the three clubs below them, Leeds, Bolton and West Ham win their matches. Just a local derby at Charlton on 11 May remains after this.
- The 2-1 victory over Newcastle in Chris Coleman's first game in temporary charge was Fulham's only win in seven matches, four of which were lost without scoring.
-
Indeed the Cottagers have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine League matches and find themselves third bottom in the Premiership's Current Form Table, above only West Brom and Sunderland
-
Victory for Fulham will take their all-time points tally over the 4,000 mark. Since being elected to the League in 1907, the Cottagers have accrued 3,998 points.
- 2 wins in last 10 League and Cup games
- Won 1 of last 7 Premiership matches
- Drawn 4 of last 12 in all competitions
- 1 draw in last 6 top flight encounters
- Lost 5 of last 9 confrontations
- 4 defeats in last 6 top division duels
- Failed to score in 5 of last 9 contests
- Failed to find the net in 4 of last 6 League clashes
- 2 clean sheets in last 15
- Managed 1 clean sheet in last 9 top tier League outings
