Fresh off crashing out of the FA Cup, Fulham and Everton lock horns at Craven Cottage in round 22 of the Premier League on Tuesday (January 30).

Everton turn their attention to the Premier League, where they are winless in four games and sit 17th in the points table, one point above the dotted line.
