Fulham welcome Everton to Craven Cottage this Saturday for a pivotal mid-table clash.
Both sides sit locked on 34 points as they aim to cement a place in the top half. The Cottagers return to West London looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat at Manchester United. A 94th-minute winner denied them a point after Raúl Jiménez converted his 12th consecutive penalty.
However, they face a resilient Everton side that remains difficult to beat under David Moyes. The Toffees arrive on a four-match unbeaten run following a dramatic stalemate with Brighton. They salvaged a 1–1 draw thanks to a 97th-minute equaliser from Beto.

Team News
Fulham
Marco Silva remains without influential midfielder Saša Lukić and forward Rodrigo Muniz. Both are sidelined with thigh injuries until later this month. Winger Oscar Bobb—a significant January signing—is also out with a persistent hamstring problem. On a more positive note, Kenny Tete is fit and available to make his first start since New Year’s Day. Notably, Raúl Jiménez is set to lead the line as he searches for his seventh goal of the campaign.
Everton
The Toffees are still adjusting to the long-term loss of Jack Grealish. The creative talisman is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a stress fracture in his foot. In positive news, Vitaliy Mykolenko has returned to training and is fit to start at left-back. David Moyes confirmed that deadline-day signing Tyrique George will be in the matchday squad. Thierno Barry is expected to lead the attack ahead of Beto.
Form
Fulham
The Cottagers have turned Craven Cottage into a formidable venue this term. Notably, Fulham boast the highest percentage of home wins of any Premier League fixture played at least 30 times. They recently secured back-to-back home victories over Brighton (2–1) and Chelsea (2–1). Harry Wilson remains their primary threat, leading the squad with eight goals and five match-winning strikes.
Everton
Everton arrive in West London with considerable defensive resilience. Notably, they are undefeated in their last five matches against Fulham in all competitions. The Toffees have also avoided defeat in each of their last four trips to Craven Cottage. However, clinical finishing away from home remains a challenge. Everton have scored the fewest away goals (2) of any team currently in the top half of the table.
Predicted Lineups
Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Jimenez
Everton Predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner, Gueye, Ndiaye; Dewsbury-Hall; Barry
