Everton and Fulham are separated by a single point in the Premier League, and we believe it will generally be a tight game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the hosts just edging out their visitors from West London.
The Toffees picked up a much-needed point on Monday, when they secured a draw at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland. This point stopped a run of two consecutive defeats in the Premier League, with defeats to Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Before the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, most notably at home, the Toffees had gone three games in the league without a defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. A record they will have to rely on here to gain a credible result against a Fulham side who have been struggling with consistency themselves.
For Fulham, their main issues are away from Craven Cottage. The Cottagers sit 15th in the league standings with 11 points from 10 matches. From their home form alone, Fulham would be in the top eight; however, their record on the road leaves them with one of the worst away records in the division, with just one point from five games.
As it pertains to this fixture, the Toffees are unbeaten in the last three league meetings between the two sides, which could play a factor in separating the two teams.
