Marco Silva faces a visit from his former employers, as his side looks to regain momentum in the race for European football. Everton have steadily improved under David Moyes; however, with Fulham performing admirably on home soil, we think that Fulham will edge out a close victory against the Toffees.
The Cottagers have won three of their previous five home matches in the Premier League, which includes notable wins against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Fulham have been known to concede, with no clean sheets in their previous seven matches, so there could be scope for Everton to cause Fulham problems in this fixture.
Interestingly, Everton have gone three games without a win, and David Moyes’ side have not kept a clean sheet during those run of games. Everton have also conceded first in six of their previous seven matches.
Despite their lack of a clean sheet, this game could well be the game for Fulham where they end that spell. Fulham have been the first to score in this fixture in four of the last five meetings, and the Toffees have failed to score in two of those three meetings.
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in six of the previous seven games between the two sides, so a 1-0 Fulham win could be on the cards here.
Fulham 1-0 Everton
