TEAMS PREVIEW

Fulham FC Preview

Fulham felt the opposite of Everton’s late relief in MD24, watching three points disappear to a stoppage-time goal. It was especially cruel after their spirited comeback against an in-form Manchester United, where strikes in the 85th and 90+1 minute from Raul Jimenez and Kevin erased a 2–0 deficit. Just when a hard-earned point looked certain, the Cottagers were left stunned at the death.

Given their position in the table, Everton must park that heartbreak and focus on the positives — notably the resilience shown in fighting back from a two-goal deficit. Add to that an encouraging home run of three wins in their last four matches, and the Toffees have reason for quiet confidence heading into the weekend.

Stats that matter 

1. No side has had more Premier League goals scored by substitutes since the start of last season than Fulham (25).
2. Only Wolves (9), Brentford (8) and Burnley (8) have lost more away games in the Premier League this season than Fulham (7).
3. Fulham haven't kept a clean sheet in their last six Premier League fixtures. 

Team News 

Aside from the long-term absentees and Saša Lukić’s injury setback, Marco Silva is hopeful over the availability of his new signing Oscar Bobb, though a Saturday debut for the former Manchester City man appears unlikely.

Fulham Probable XI - Leno (GK); Cuenca, Andersen, Robinson, Castagne, Berge, Iwobi, Wilson, Smith Smith-Rowe, Chukwueze, Jimenez.

Everton FC Preview

Everton staged another late rescue act for the second week running, coming from a goal down to snatch a draw in the Premier League. This time, it went right down to the wire at the Amex, where substitute Beto struck in the seventh minute of stoppage time to earn a valuable point against Brighton after the Toffees failed to register a single shot on target in the first half. 

In the meantime, with Mykolenko unavailable for the contest, Moyes opted for a bold setup featuring four centre-backs, pushing Branthwaite into a makeshift full-back role.

The result did little to lift Everton in the table, but it extended their unbeaten away run to four matches (W2 D2). Something the Toffees will look to build upon as they look to stay in the top ten and leapfrog Fulham in MD25.

Stats that matter 

1. It was the third time that the Toffees did not have a shot in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League game this season, more than any other team.
2. The Toffees have managed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four away games in the Premier League.
3. Everton are unbeaten in seven of their last eight away games in all competitions. 

Team News 

Beyond their long-term absentees, Everton’s only worry ahead of the fixture is the fitness of Vitaliy Mykolenko, who sat out the last game with a minor injury.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); Keane, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Garner, Gueye, Armstrong, Dewsbury-Hall, Barry, Ndiaye. 

FULHAM FC vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

This one has a hint of payback for Fulham. The last meeting ended in a 2–0 win for Everton, and the Toffees are unbeaten in the last four clashes between the sides (W2 D2), including a commanding 5–1 aggregate score across the previous two. Add to that Fulham’s solitary win in their last nine home games against Everton, and it’s clear why the visitors head into this fixture as favourites. 

We predict a draw (1-1)
