Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard says Premiership clubs hate going to Portsmouth's Fratton Park.

"I think Fratton Park's always a tough place to play," said Howard. "I think every team in the Premier League finds it a very difficult place to go to, but we've shown we can go down there and get results and so we'll have to do that again.

"They have really good players and match winners, so we're going to do our best to keep them at bay. The loss earlier in the season was a heck of a different time for us.

"We weren't ourselves and it's been a long time since. We've got back to basics and I really feel we're now the team we wanted to be. Our fortunes have probably flip flopped since that game, but it'll be tough for us. Were going to go there with a renewed mindset."
