EVE
Everton take on the Cottagers, eye back-to-back Premier League victories.
Everton aim to end a recent home losing streak against Fulham as the Toffees host the Cottagers at Goodison Park, hoping for back-to-back Premier League wins amidst Fulham's October clean sheet success.
Everton
Everton maintained their 16th position in the league following a 2-0 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town last weekend. With an upturn in form, the Toffees remain unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches [LDWDW].
Heading into Saturday's fixture against Fulham, Everton have accumulated 8 points [2W, 2D, 4L] and aim to secure consecutive victories for the first time this season. However, their recent home form against Fulham presents a challenge, as they have lost their last three meetings with the Cottagers on home soil.
Historically, Everton were unbeaten in their first 27 home league encounters against Fulham between 1949 and 2018 [23W, 4D], triumphing in each of the last 22 of those matches. They will look to recapture past glories while aiming for another clean sheet, having kept six in their last seven October outings.
In terms of lineup, Everton are expected to field a 4—2—3—1 formation with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the attack, who has contributed two goals and one assist in eight appearances. Jarrad Branthwaite is a doubt, while up to five players, including Armando Broja, are ruled out.
Fulham
Fulham are seated in 10th place with 11 points after back-to-back defeats. The Cottagers suffered a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend in a game that saw both sides finish with 10 men.
"It was not at all a good performance from us," Marco Silva said in a post-match interview. "It's a bit weird the way we conceded goals, and we were not able to punish them in some moments as well. After the penalty, I think I felt the team a bit more nervous. We were not playing at our best level, and after the penalty even more," he added.
They make the trip to Goodison Park, hoping to reverse their fortunes with a win against Everton. Fulham remain unbeaten against Everton in their last five Premier League games, with three wins and two draws, keeping four clean sheets in the process.
*Marco Silva* is expected to keep last weekend’s 4-2-3-1 formation with Raúl Jiménez, who scored Fulham’s only goal, in attack. The Mexican has four goals and one assist in eight appearances for Fulham this season, contributing to 45% of their overall goals tally, as the team has scored 11 in total.
Joachim Andersen is suspended, having picked up a red card in the game against Villa.
