Everton vs Fulham preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

With both clubs currently fighting to avoid the relegation zone, this fixture is important as both teams seek to gain distance and improve their form.

Everton enter this weekend's clash following a bad run of form, having secured only one victory in their last five league matches.

The Toffees have shown strong resilience at home, however, winning or drawing four of their five fixtures this season. Their last Premier League game ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw against Sunderland.

On the other hand, Fulham will be looking confident heading into this game following a strong 3-0 home victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Marco Silva’s side has struggled significantly when playing away from Craven Cottage this term, failing to secure a single victory in five away league attempts.

Despite their recent win, the Cottagers need to overcome their travel sickness to earn points against Everton.

The previous meetings between these two clubs have been full of surprises. Fulham have not lost at Everton in their last five games, securing three victories and two draws.

However, the most recent league meeting in May 2025 ended in a convincing 3-1 away victory for Everton at Craven Cottage.

Everton manager David Moyes is dealing with several defensive injuries. Jarrad Branthwaite is a long-term absentee with a hamstring injury and Nathan Patterson remains sidelined after a groin injury.

Winger Iliman Ndiaye is a doubt after picking up a minor knock, but could face a late fitness test if he is to feature.

Fulham face just one injury issue in the team, with left-back Antonee Robinson confirmed out with a knee injury.
