After defeat to Fulham, Everton boss Dave Moyes maintained Liverpool were always favourites for fourth place.

"Liverpool were always favourites, I've said that many times," Moyes said.

"We are just going to try and win as many as we can and keep going. We've been on a great run but today was not one of our better performances.

"The players have been terrific but today we dropped below the high standards we have set. I am disappointed with today's game.

"The players have been excellent and this is our first defeat in I don't know how many league games but we've not got a great record at Fulham."
