In fact, Everton are undefeated in 8 of their 9 most recent matches in all competitions.

Newcastle doubled their advantage 7 minutes later and added a third goal in the 82nd minute.
The loss at Newcastle means Fulham have won 3 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions. The wins have come over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham United at home in the Premier League.
However, there have been 4 defeats including losses at Aston Villa and Liverpool plus Manchester United at home in the Premier League.

Team news and Everton are without the injured quartet of Abdoulaye Doucoure, Vitali Mykolenko, Ashley Young, and Seamus Coleman. There also doubts over the fitness of Andre Gomes and Dele Alli.
Fulham are without injured defender Tim Ream but striker Raul Jiménez is available despite seeing red on the weekend. Adama Traore and Tyrese Francois are working their way back to fitness but this game may come too soon for both players.
Everton have been improving under Sean Dyche and this competition gives them a great chance of winning a trophy this season.
Goodison Park will be up for this match and it should be an exiting tie, with Fulham capable of scoring. However, with home advantage, it could be Everton who progress.
