Meanwhile, Fulham are eager to bounce back from consecutive losses to Manchester City and Aston Villa. However, the Cottagers have shown defensive frailties recently, and with defender Joachim Andersen suspended, their backline will face a tough test. Additionally, injuries to key players like Carlos Vinicius, Sasa Lukic, Jorge Cuenca, and Timothy Castagne further complicate Fulham’s chances of securing a positive result on the road. Given the current form of both teams, Everton will be hopeful of securing all three points.

Prediction: Everton vs Fulham
Everton heads into this match with the momentum of back-to-back wins, including a solid 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town. With their defense showing resilience, aiming for a third consecutive clean sheet, the Toffees will look to capitalize on their recent form at Goodison Park. Even though Orel Mangala is expected to return to the starting XI, the rest of the squad remains unchanged, providing stability for Sean Dyche’s side.
Fulham, on the other hand, will be desperate to turn things around after suffering consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa. Their defense has shown vulnerability lately, which could be exploited by a disciplined and in-form Everton team. Missing several key players, including defender Joachim Andersen through suspension, the Cottagers may struggle to keep Everton at bay.
Given the current form of both teams, Everton’s solid defensive performances, and Fulham’s struggles, the prediction leans towards a narrow win for the home side. Expect Everton to play cautiously but effectively, making the most of their opportunities while maintaining defensive solidity.
Predicted Score: Everton 1-0 Fulham
