Everton players in need a big result against Fulham following their recent run of turbulent form in the Premier League.
Three points against Fulham on Saturday afternoon would send David Moyes into the international break with a big smile on his face.
Everton News understands that the Friedkins are not considering Moyes’ Everton future currently despite picking up just one win since August.
Following their frustrating draw against Sunderland on Monday, Everton have had a few days to get back to work at Finch Farm ahead of the Cottagers’ visit.
Everton are targeting European qualification this season, but their recent run of form has slightly dampened the spirits.
In a bid to keep the morale inside the dressing room up, a unique method has been revealed in recent footage shared from inside Everton training.

Everton’s unique method to boost team morale revealed
Everton’s players looked in fine form during training earlier this week, as they worked on their strength and conditioning in the gym.

In a season as long as the Premier League, having good morale inside the dressing room will be key to any successful campaign.
During a recent Everton training session, the players could be seen battling it out in a football-related quiz game as they used the spin bikes.
James Tarkowski could be seen leading the activity, with the other players joining in during their pre-training quiz on Kahoot.
One of the questions included: ‘Whose hand is this?’ With an image of an Everton player’s hand, the possible answers were: ‘Harrison Armstrong, Iliman Ndiaye, James Garner, Dwight McNeil’.
Although it may not seem like much, having the players ease some of the pressure through a light-hearted game could prove a big boost.
Michael Keane has already hailed Ndiaye’s training work but building a strong connection with his teammates could prove equally as important down the stretch.
Carlos Alcaraz could be spotted playing higher up in training
Everton’s struggles in front of goal do not need expanding on any further.
After Monday’s draw, Moyes could not hide his disappointment in Thierno Barry for his miss inside the opening half.
It is getting to the point where the 62-year-old may have to try something completely new to find some goals.
Everton News columnist Alan Myers has suggested Carlos Alcaraz could play up front instead of either Beto or Barry.
Potentially a last resort, but Alcaraz could be seen in the training footage playing in a high position and finishing his chances well.
Moyes has warned his strikers of a big change if they do not get their act together and that may be closer than some may think.
