Josh Maja believes Fulham have a key advantage over Everton ahead of their Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Sunday evening.
The Super Eagles striker has pointed out that the potentially tired Toffees players have less time to recover following their pulsating 5-4 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Emirates FA Cup on Wednesday night.
On the other hand, Fulham have not been in action since they faced West Ham United on February 6.
Although manager Scott Parker's side have played fantastic football this season and are hard to beat, Maja has returned to the Cottagers a slightly funny time as they are battling to beat relegation.
The Bordeaux loanee is feeling positive ahead of the trip to Merseyside and confident Fulham can get a result against Everton.
"I am feeling positive. Obviously a good side, got a win yesterday, they played extra-time so hopefully they can feel a bit of fatigue from that and we can go into it feeling confident, feeling energetic, feeling positive and hopefully we
can come away with three points," Maja said on Fulham Fix : Episode 16.

Maja has come back to Fulham after previously spending three years at the academy and the Nigeria international admitted that he's delighted to be part of the first team.
"It was quite strange coming back, I was part of the academy so I was there for three years and it was very good years and I enjoyed developing, enjoying the coaching and growing up with friends, so it was very enjoyable time and it's obviously special to be in the first team now because at the time I wanted to make it happen and it's obviously happened, so I'm excited to see where it leads."
Maja played the last eleven minutes on his Premier League debut as Fulham were held to a goalless draw by West Ham United.
