The Toffees continued their dismal start to the new season as they were beaten 2-1 by Roy Hodgson’s Fulham on Sunday at Craven Cottage. David Moyes’ side took the lead through Tim Cahill’s 33^rd minute strike, but slumped to defeat after Paul Konchesky and Damien Duff scored for the Cottagers. Everton have won just once in their opening four fixtures, and are second from bottom in the league table at this moment.

Neville damaged his knee ligaments after being tackled by Nigerian midfielder Dickson Etuhu in that game. Neville’s absence leaves Everton a bit short on defensive cover. Johnny Heitinga is ineligible, while Tony Hibbert is suspended. Everton beat Sigma Olomouc 5-1 in the play-off round. The first leg at Goodison Park was won 4-0, while the return leg ended in a 1-1 draw.

AEK Athens beat Romanian side Vaslui 4-2 over two legs in the play-off round. The Greek giants lost the first leg 2-1, but got the result they wanted at home. A brace from Argentine winger Ignacio Scocco helped the Kitrinomavri win 3-0 at the Olympic Stadium.

Pantelis Kafes’ 14^th minute strike was enough for AEK to beat Iraklis in their weekend Greek Super League game. Dusan Bajevic’s men had earlier beaten Atromitos by the same margin in their season opener.

Can Everton overcome their current problems and make a victorious start in Group I? The game is at Goodison Park, and Everton need to win at home if they plan to go far in this competition. Sign up today to watch Everton vs AEK Athens live streaming on your computer.
