David Moyes to join Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson in exclusive club with Everton win vs Fulham
David Moyes could become part of an exclusive Premier League club if Everton beat Fulham on Saturday.
Everton host Fulham at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on 6 November, looking for their first win in four, with the last being the victory over Crystal Palace on 5 October.
Moyes will be hoping to boost his Everton side up the table, as they currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League.
Everton are predicted to avoid relegation danger by a comfortable margin, but their current form will be a concern.
David Moyes could join legendary managers if Everton beat Fulham
Moyes is coming under pressure at Everton recently, after a poor run of results halted their early-season momentum.
He has managed against them 32 times, with 19 victories, four draws and nine losses in matches against the Cottagers.
The Scotsman could become just the third manager in the history of the Premier League to win 20 times against a specific opponent with another win over the Londoners.
Only Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have managed that feat previously, against eight and four teams respectively.

Everton win vs Fulham would paper over the cracks
Everton need a victory, not just for Moyes’ personal record but to arrest their poor recent form, but it may well just paper over the cracks.
The Toffees have severe issues in front of goal, with Beto and Thierno Barry failing to fire in front of goal, even with the likes of Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall creating plenty of chances.
- Beto has scored once in 10 top-flight matches this season
- Barry has failed to open his account in the division in the same number of games, although he does have an assist
Until they dip into the market and find a striker who can score regularly, they will have trouble achieving Moyes’ ambition to reach the top half of the table.
It is all well and good to join the exclusive club with the likes of Wenger and Ferguson, but it will mean absolutely nothing if Moyes cannot turn it around.
If the Friedkin Group want the Blues to be challenging the upper echelons of the top-flight, they need to give the Scotsman the backing to do so.
