Fulham and Everton head into the game at Craven Cottage level on points and goal difference, and by the end of play on Saturday afternoon, we believe the score will also remain level in a high-scoring affair between the two sides.
The Cottagers fought valiantly against Manchester United to come back from two goals down at Old Trafford, although their efforts were ultimately scuppered by a late goal by Benjamin Sesko. Marco Silva has done a tremendous job this season, considering their early-season struggles, with the home side in the top 10 of the Premier League and chasing down a potential European place. At home, Fulham have been strong with 10 points gained from their last 12 points on offer, and the Cottagers have picked up 1.92 points per game at Craven Cottage this season.
Everton's late draw against Brighton & Hove Albion extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches; however, the Toffees have only won once during those four games, producing three draws. Everton have drawn seven of their matches this season, leaving them with a 29% draw rate overall. Between the two sides, 50% of the last four meetings have resulted in a draw, and the Toffees have drawn two of their last four away games in the Premier League.
Both sides can't be separated in the league table, and we think this trend will continue here. Both teams have scored in six of the last seven games involving Fulham and in five of the last six matches involving Everton, so a high-scoring draw could be on the cards here.
Fulham 2-2 Everton
