Fulham hope that they can preserve unbeaten home record
Martin Jol hopes his team brush off their Europa League disappointment as they return to domestic matters by hosting Everton at Craven Cottage.
The West London side were beaten 1-0 by Wisla Krakow which was compounded by the harsh dismissal of striker Moussa Dembele.
In their last outing in the Premier League the Cottagers lost 2-0 against Stoke but at home they are a different proposition, as they remain unbeaten.
They have good a record against David Moyes' side with the Toffees losing eight of their last 10 games at Craven Cottage.
Both sides are level on points with seven, with just a point separating them from the relegation zone.
Everton are traditionally slow starters under Moyes and this season has proved no different as they have won just two games so far.
The Blues have lost their last three league games and were beaten in their last outing in west London by Chelsea last weekend.
Everton's season was disrupted by the transfer deadline day sale of Mikel Arteta from which they have struggled to recover.
