In that game, Fulham had 48% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Aston Villa had 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Youri Tielemans (12') scored for Aston Villa.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Fulham have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Fulham have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 9 goals along the way. We will just have to find out if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Analysis of their past results shows that Fulham:

• are unbeaten in the league by Everton in their last 6 matches.
• have left without a victory over Everton in their last 2 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: Fulham

Saša Lukić (unknown injury), Rodrigo Muniz (Achilles tendon problems), Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury), Harrison Reed (Calf injury) and Timothy Castagne (Ankle surgery) will not be taking part for Fulham manager Marco Silva.

It looks as if The Cottagers could go for a 4-3-3 system for the game, utilising Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Alex Iwobi, Sasa Lukic, Emile Smith Rowe, Ryan Sessegnon, Raul Jimenez and Willian.

🗞️ Team News: Everton

Everton boss David Moyes has multiple availability issues to deal with. Jesper Lindstrøm (Groin surgery), James Tarkowski (Hamstring injury) and Orel Mangala (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that The Toffees might elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Jordan Pickford, Nathan Patterson, Jake O'Brien, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Idrissa Gana Gueye, James Garner, Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Carlos Alcaraz and Beto.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Fulham certainly have the ability to create enough chances to score more than one when they face Everton, who might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net.

We’re predicting a decent 2-0 win for Fulham at the end of the 90 minutes.
