Match Preview :

An even match in store in this FA Cup tie as both sides are currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table with 26 points.

Interestingly, Fulham have had the "rub of the green" against the Everton in cup action, having played Everton four times and knocked them out on each occasion, three times after a replay.

Nevertheless, Davies Moyes' men will be keen to put a stop to the winless streak on home turf against the Cottagers, having failed to secure three points in their last four league encounters.

But Fulham will have other ideas with in form striker Clint Dempsey who will be seeking his third hat-trick this month when the Cottagers travel to Goodison Park for this clash.

The USA International has scored two trebles, one of which came as Martin Jol's men knocked out Charlton in the last round, have helped fire Fulham to three wins in their last four games in all competitions.

Therefore Martin Jol will be hoping that Dempsey's good form can help inspire the Cottagers to break their Goodison Park hoodoo, with Everton having won their last 18 straight home league games against the Londoners.
