Fulham will be looking to build on their first win of the season in their last home game this weekend when Everton come to the capital. But, will the struggling Cottagers be able to get the important points?
Premier League Preview
This already could be a potentially huge game at the bottom of the Premier League table. A victory for Fulham in this fixture could open up a four-point gap between themselves and the relegation places, which would see the pressure on the teams below them mount. However, Fulham have won just once in their eight league games this season and have taken just four points from a possible 24. Scott Parker will be aware that home form will be crucial to their chances of survival this season, which means that this is a big game for Fulham.
They won their last game at Craven Cottage, as they beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0. However, they were unable to build on that momentum as they were beaten by West Ham United in the following game. Fulham had a perfect chance to get a point from the fixture in the final minute but Ademola Lookman’s panenka penalty was straight at Lukas Fabianski.
Everton’s flying start to the season has come to a halting end over the past couple of weeks, and they will come into this fixture without a win in four. Carlo Ancelotti will be aware that his side will need to stop the damaging form that they have been in, as they have lost their last three games in the Premier League. The most recent of those defeats came against Manchester United. The Toffees led in that fixture, but went on to concede three goals against the Red Devils. It is vital that they stop this poor run of form if they are to have any chance of competing for a European finish this season.
Fulham vs Everton Head To Head
Fulham have a terrible record against Everton in the Premier League, as they have won just once in the previous eleven meetings. That win came in the last meeting between the sides in April 2019.
Fulham vs Everton Prediction
The previous meetings between the sides do not give Fulham much optimism that they will be able to get anything from this fixture. They will need to be much better defensively to get anything from this game. However, it’s the perfect game for Everton to end their poor run of form.
