The last time the Toffees won at Craven Cottage was in 1966 when Alan Ball scored on his debut.

Moyes, personally, has lost all seven of his encounters at Fulham in all competitions since taking over at Everton in 2002 but feels it is time for a change.

"Our record there has not been the cleverest," he said.

"I think a couple of occasions we have played quite well and not won. We need to do better and get a result somehow.

"You can't say how it happens. Sometimes these things are in football. I'm sure there are teams we beat regularly.

"I think in my playing days every team I played against was my bogey team.

"But we give everyone the same respect and understand every game is difficult."

Goalkeeper Tim Howard, who has set a new club record for clean sheets this season, is confident the current crop of players can end their drought at Craven Cottage.

"It's a place where we seem to have a lot of difficulty going for some reason," he told evertonTV.

"But this is a different group of guys, in terms of our mentality. We are strong on the road and we look forward to going away and into hostile environments."

While Everton's key focus is next weekend's FA Cup final against Chelsea, a victory would secure a fifth-place finish for the second successive season.

A point for Fulham should guarantee a place in next season's revamped Europa League so both teams have plenty to play for, although Moyes admitted the proximity of their Wembley appearance was starting to take on more significance.

"I am asking the players to remain focused and see the job through - they have done really well up to now - and I want them to do the same on this one," said Moyes, who revealed he was not thinking of tinkering with his starting line-up too much tomorrow.

"I think the best preparation going into the final would be for the players to play and be ready - but who knows, it (the line-up) might change before kick-off time.

"I think there will be one or two thinking they need to put in a good performance against Fulham to make sure they get the jersey (for the final).

"It shows the game means something so we know we are going to have a hard game but we have been playing quite well and have standards to set.

"However, if you said to me, 'Would you take sixth and a win in the FA Cup final?', of course I would.

"But you can't guarantee any of that so the first thing you have to do is win the next game and the next game is against Fulham.

"If we get a result and stay in fifth I will be delighted but I would still be smiling if we finished sixth because I would consider that a good season considering the injury problems we have had."
