Everton and Fulham meet at Hill Dickinson Stadium in a clash that could shape the trajectory of their league campaigns.
With both sides separated by just a single point and neither able to pull clear of the bottom half, there’s plenty at stake in Saturday’s 3:00 PM kick-off. Fulham’s edge in recent head-to-heads and their more clinical finishing this season contrasts with Everton’s dynamic creators and combative midfield, setting the stage for a finely balanced contest.

| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both Teams To Score: Yes | SBK Evens (50.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | BTTS has landed in seven of the last 11 games these two have played against each other, whilst both sides have seen both teams scoring in three of their last five Premier League games. Everton are averaging a goal a game this season, whilst Fulham are averaging 1.2 goals per game. Both clubs have conceded at an increased rate, Everton at 1.3 goals conceded per game and Fulham at 1.4 goals per game.

| Jack Grealish to Score or Assist | 8/5 @ SBK | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Jack Grealish has been in great form for Everton since his loan move from Man City in the summer. He’s scored once, assisted four goals and has created 21 big chances. This game represents another chance for Grealish to improve on his record against a Fulham side that have conceded 14 times this season and we’re backing him to do just that. |

Everton vs Fulham match odds
How both teams head into Everton vs Fulham
Everton have struggled at points this season but victories over Brighton, Wolves and Crystal Palace have kept their heads above water. They come into this game with just one win in their last five games, however, and they’ve scored just one goal in their last three games. The Toffees must show a stark improvement moving forward or they could risk being dragged into a relegation battle, with the club currently five points above third placed West Ham.
Things aren’t much better at Fulham, who are currently one position and one point worse off than their opponents this weekend. The Cottagers did end a run of four straight league defeats last time out though, beating Wolves to pull themselves clear of the bottom three. Fulham haven’t struggled in front of goal, with only Arsenal keeping them from finding the net in recent weeks, but they’ve been conceding at a higher rate and have seen their defence breached nine times in the past five games, keeping just one clean sheet in that time.
Everton team news
Jarrad Branthwaite was supposed to back in the Everton team by this point but a setback has ruled him out until the new year. He’s joined on the sidelines by Nathan Patterson, who should be available by the end of November. There are some small doubts over Iliman Ndiaye, who picked up a knock last weekend but David Moyes is confident he’ll be fit enough to play some part.
Fulham team news
Antonee Robinson is the only injury problem for Fulham, with no set return date for the defender.
