Leighton Baines says Everton are happy to be experiencing a Liverpool side without Luis Suarez in next week's Merseyside derby. The Reds may have left six past Newcastle on Saturday without their forbidden striker but Baines still feels they're another probability in the Uruguayan's absence. Everton made effort of beating Fulham 1-0 a' their 20th effective group win over the Cottagers at Goodison Park a' maintaining a lead over their near-neighbours. Victory on Sunday at Anfield, where Everton have not gained since 1999, would give them an lead over their town rivals with two matches left. And that could mean the Toffees concluding above Liverpool in consecutive seasons for the very first time because the Reds were endorsed back once again to the top flight in 1962. "Yes, we're glad since he is a premier player we do not need certainly to face Luis Suarez and he has done so much for Liverpool this season," said England full-back Baines. "If they had been missing him where they are in the category right now this season they might not be. He will be described as a big loss for them." Steven Pienaar's 16th-minute attack was the culmination of one of the few movements of real quality against Fulham, whose director Martin Jol has already been seeking to next period. "We have to see which players will stay," said the Dutchman, who lost striker Dimitar Berbatov to a leg damage which may however rule him out for the remainder of the campaign. "We have several players out of commitment and we've 4 or 5 players on loan so that is really a choice we have to make".
