Two interesting home matches for our League Cup adversaries, against the two teams immediately above the relegation zone.
'The Arse' have the easier match because :~
When it comes to 'London Derby's', Fulham have won just 3 out of the 43 they have played away from home.
'Chelski' have the harder match because:~
It comes as second nature for Eveton to 'rough-up' their opposition, no matter who they are, be it home or away.
(It may even be in Tim Cahill's contract to do so.)
Missing the Blackpool game this weekend will make things really tough for us now.
We could feasibly find ourselves in 4th place, even before we play our next PL match on the 13th December .... when Arsenal come to Old Trafford.
6 days later and the pressure is on again. Then (the 19th.), it will be piled on by our game with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
December has now become a make or break month for us in the Premier League, just as we had hit 'Top Spot' and closed the goal difference too.
We now have to make certain of being 'there, or there about's', come the New Year.
To do so we must be sure to take (at the very least) - 8 points from our next 4 matches to potentially keep ourselves among the top three.
We have some great players, on great money, who owe our great club some great games.
:love: Show us how great you really are .... Come on the lads !!!. :love:

- Arsenal have never lost at home to Fulham, in any competition.
- Fulham have not won a game away from home in 25 matches, (Since Portsmouth, opening day of last season).
- Both teams are prone to shock reversals of form.
- In 2009, Fulham/Schwarzer although somewhat overwhelmed, kept a dominant Man United at bay for 90mins to win the game 2 - 0.
- Arsenal lost something more than a 2 - 0 game of football against Man United on 24th October 2004. :lol:

It comes as second nature for Eveton to 'rough-up' their opposition, no matter who they are, be it home or away.
(It may even be in Tim Cahill's contract to do so.)
- 'The Pensioners' are unbeated at home in their last 15 games against Everton.
- Of those 15 Chelsea home games, the last four in a row have all ended as draws.
- Saha has scored three goals in the last two Premier League games between the two teams
- Their last meeting, (Goodison Park) saw Everton end 18 Premier League matches against Chelsea without a win.
