Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Fulham and Everton. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at Craven Cottage in London and can be live streamed here free.
Everton enters today's match rounding out a spectacular run of form. The club is within reach of the final UEFA Champions League spot in the Premier League table, and with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal still to come on the schedule, manager Roberto Martinez likes his club's chances (h/t to the Express). "There are going to be a lot of twists and turns. I just think you can't look elsewhere," Martinez said.
"I am just looking at the points tally. I just feel if we can get anywhere near 71, 72 points and that gets us into the Champions League, it will be an outstanding achievement," he added.
"If that doesn't get us into the Champions League, it will be a phenomenal season from our point of view, so I am not looking elsewhere at all. We have got Arsenal to play at home, we have got Manchester United and Manchester City, so in that respect it's a really good fixture list for us, glamorous."
"Looking at the run we have at Goodison allows us to play with confidence, so you never know."
