Everton vs Fulham Tips

Tip 1

Whichever way Saturday evening’s contest goes Fulham are a team who are able to get their foot in early which often results in early goals and usually correlates with them scoring the first goal in a game.

The Cottagers’ PL fixtures this season have seen 11 first half goals – seven of which they’ve notched themselves. Furthermore, six of these have come within the half an hour mark and two inside the opening 15 minutes.

Marco Silva’s men have struck first blood in each of their last five league games, including in difficult fixtures with Man City and Aston Villa.

Compare this to Everton’s record: conceded two in the first 15, four from kick-off to the 30 minute mark and five in the first half in total.

Tip 2

Sasa Lukic should return to the fray after recovering from an injury picked up while on international duty with Serbia.

The midfielder has picked up four cards so far this term, with all of them coming across his last five games.

His foul totals across the last six games speak volumes for getting onside with this bet too: 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3. His 17 fouls are the most of any Fulham or Everton player this term.

The defensive screener will be responsible from preventing Everton forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Harrison from making something happen – especially since this trio have accumulated 32 free-kicks between them so far.

Everton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Since throwing a two-goal lead at Villa Park in mid September, the Toffees are heading in the right direction having gone unbeaten in their last four PL outings, which includes the 2-0 job they did on Ipswich at Portmand Road last weekend.

Sean Dyche remains without Tim Iroegbunam, Youssef Chermiti and Armando Broja who are all absent due to foot injuries.

Everton Predicted XI: Pickford, Young, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Doucoure; Harrison, McNeil, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin.

Fulham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Cottagers were condemned to a defeat against Aston Villa at home last time out, being reduced to 10 men on the 60th-minute mark in a game where they’d already thrown an early lead.

Timothy Castagne, Sasa Lukic and Joachim Andersen are all confirmed absentees for the visitors, while Jorge Cuenca and Carlos Vinicius will face late assessments to participate.

Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz.
